brooklynmutt:
…JJ Putz exited to booing and an unspoken question that seems to be racing towards Met management: when will they have to start breaking in Parnell as, at minimum, Putz’s co-equal as a bridge to Francisco Rodriguez?…

Just past the quarter pole, the Dodgers continue to roll along without Manny or an identifiable pitching staff, the Yankees rise to the top of the AL East with A-Rod keeping his promise to concentrate solely on baseball for about a week, and the Cardinals look serious again with Carpenter in the rotation.
Please welcome the Mets back into the top 10, even if it took a home sweep of...

Francesa's arrogance.
Mike Silva at NY Baseball Digest…
WFAN’s most astute caller of the week is waved off, lost to Mike Francesa’s dismissive, pompous side. Again. The caller wanted to talk about that appeal play in Los Angeles, when the Mets lost the lead in the top of the 11th after Ryan Church was ruled out for missing third on an Angel Pagan triple. And the caller knew what he was talking about. He said...
Dog House Dweller of the Week: Ramon Martinez →
I’m going to be honest and say I’m very, very surprised I’m writing this about Ramon Martinez, and I say that without a hint of irony. Why? His play has absolutely atrocious, but I’m surprised…

K-Rod Taken To Hospital
From Adam Rubin…
Francisco Rodriguez was taken my ambulance to a Boston hospital after the game to get checked out, in obvious discomfort from back spasms that struck him while running pregame.
“I’ve never experienced some pain like the way that I have right now,” K-Rod said. “I’ve been struggling even to walk. Tomorrow is another day. We’ll see how my body responds for tomorrow.
