I sure hope Maine is ok.

 

By May 15th if delgado does not show some semblence of coming around it may make sense to outright realease him and I am dead serious. He is killing them all around. A guy like Dmitri Young or kevin Millar can probably be had and for what its worth at this point let Marlon Anderson play 1B and hit 280 and hit singles, its better than pop up and strikeouts. Shit call up loser fernando tatis for gods sake.

At the game today. Sat up in the upper box, section 1, row K. Behind home plate.

 

Was a good game, with the exception of Delgado and Heilman. The Mets got a needed win, and they need to have Figoueroa on his game.
