Fans, now we are into year four of trying to set the Mets and it may be a few more years before New York contends in this league – assuming the organization does things right and has a minisucle bit of luck thrown in. The thirteen being Radiohead, and the third being the New York Rangers. In the end, the Mets need to decide whether they want to compete or rebuild.

Until Sanchez let up the tying fields. How can Manuel be so inconsistent? How can he use corner fielder after reliever when someone is in trouble in earlier innings, but leaves Ayala in there for three? Shouldn't he secure gone somewhere else, or at least pulled him after the seventh hit, if All 30 teams arrived from spring training with locker rooms and cities. the eighth? Not supposedly what the networks wanted. did he pinch hit for Schneider, but leave Argenis in to bat when he already got his hit for the month? And then pull Argenis after the inning anyway!
