Mets Moves

Vargas who will pitch Weds and Tatis are called up from minors.

Wise was activated.

Sosa and Figgy are dfa'd and Pagan is on the 15 day DL.

So no Castillo on the DL

I guess Figgy knew it was over and the Nats can a laugh tonight.

Go Mets

thank god we won't have to see Sosa anymore in the majors. He was a total disgrace. I can't believe that willie would continually stick him in situations where teh team was down by a run or two and the next thing you knew it was lights out for the Metropolitans.

I'm glad Joe Smith is not going down then. This is a good thing. With wise back, feliciano, smith, schowenweiss, wagner, heilman and sanchez, the Mets bullpen is much better off.

Does this mean that Heilman is the long man now? Who else out of these guys can go 3+ innings if needed.

I guess it would have to be Heilman EMTB

Its good to see Showenweiss doing a little better and going in for more than an inning. I see Wise and Smith going 2 if needed. It comes down to the starters though I mean they need to go further into games.

That comes down to Willie. I know some of them have had pitch counts a little too high too early in the games, but if the Mets are up by 3 runs and it is the 7th inning and the pitcher hasn't given up anything all game and he gives up  back 2 back singles to stat the 7th inning, there is no need to take him out just y et.

That's willie's problem. let them stay in the game and finish when you are up 2-3 runs.

Any thoughts on Vargas?

He might end up being the 5 guy if he pitches well.

Jorge Sosa is just another example of whats wrong with our staff. he was over and misused. the guy was on pace to appear in like 100 games due to Willie's misuse of the bullpen and our starters inability to get to the 7th inning. Dont get me wrong, Im no cheerleader for Jorge Sosa but the guy was alot more effective when he wasnt be used in this manner.

All we need Vargas to do is hold down the fort until Pedro can get healthy (IF he ever gets healthy). If he falters, dont be suprised if we see Tony Armas next. Until either pedro or El Duque get their butts back on the mound or we make a deal for a bonafide starter (unlikely), we are stuck with this revolving door of guys that really shouldnt be on our roster.
