I'm so glad they won last night. I really believe if they lost last night they would never recover. Wagner should pay Beltran salary

Man, I thought Pelfrey was going to cry when Wagner blew the game in the 9th. What does the guy have to do to earn a win? That makes 6 quality starts, and he has 1 win in those starts.

I know. To go through those crappy outings from last year and earlier in the year, to finally put it together and have nothing to show for it must be frustrating. The Mets better do right for the kid cause he's finally realizing how good his fastball is. The sonavabitch was moving all over the place

I'm still of the opinion that Randolf should probably go. I feel the guy has no inkling of how to manage a pitching staff.

yeah, I think so too. I don't think he should have taken him out, he should have let him finish it. He's young and strong and was throwing in the high 90s still.

I think Wagner was the right call. The kid had reached the 9th inning for the first time in his career, gave up a leadoff single, and had thrown 112 pitches. You couldnt give him too much rope there. Had he got the leadoff guy out, and then given up a hit, that would have been different.

I dont think he mismanages his pitching staff that much to be honest.

They just don't produce. You pay Billy Wagner to close out the ninth inning. It's not Randolph's fault when he fails to do so. Heilman was expected to be one of the bullpen anchors and he's pitching erraticly so Willie dropped him down to sixth inning duty. I can't really fault him for any of those moves except for his overuse of Scott Schoenweis IMO.

Man, I can't believe this is the only place to go to read terrible baseball predictions.

Also, how would you like to have an enraged Milton Bradley 20-feet from stomping your face? That dude is emotionally unstable.

What has he done lately? People grow up.

Milton Bradley has been the best free agent pickup for me in fantasy baseball.

He went after a Kansas City TV announcer last night -- there's story on Yahoo. His manager had to hold him back, and then he started crying in front of his teammates.

I don't think he's an asshole, and I don't think his immediate reaction to whatever comments the announcer made were excessive, but Milton Bradley is emotionally unstable.

Don't remind me -- I had him at one point, but I had a crowded OF (Rios, Markakis, Victorino, Doumit, Ibanez, and Bradley), and I couldn't fit him into my Utility spot because Theriot's been hot all year. So, I dropped him -- now it looks like Ibanez was the right drop in retrospect.

My best FA pickup has either been Justin Verlander (someone dropped him in one of my leagues), Jose Guillen, or Xavier Nady.

Ibanez is always the answer to that question.
