Losing a two-game series 15-2 is very deflating. Maybe the flights had a little bit to do with it, but the Mets played some ugly baseball the last two days. Maybe a change of scenery will make a difference. The next stop is at our nation’s capital for a two-game series with the Nationals. Here’s a look at the pitching matchups:
- 04/23/2008 - Johan Santana (2-2) - Tim Redding (3-1)
- 04/24/2008 - Oliver Perez (2-0) - Shawn Hill (0-0)

HoJo: Carlos Delgado not in slump - Adam Rubin captured the thoughts of Howard Johnson on Carlos Delgado’s lack of offense. Here’s what HoJo said about Delgado:
It’s possible to have good at-bats without hits. Carlos has been a guy who has been very competitive in that he has not gotten himself out as much. During that Phillies series, one day, he was like 12 inches total from having three or four hits. Those things change the numbers. Those are good, quality at-bats. … He wasn’t getting himself out like the Carlos of last year. Last year I saw him get himself out a lot - when you’re ahead in the count chasing balls you shouldn’t be chasing.

Personally, I don’t know how Jerry Manuel is going to do. I’m not really a fan of his. If the Mets really fire Willie then this Manuel dude is one of the last guys that I want to manage the Mets. I would prefer that they kept Randolph over Manuel and got rid of everybody on the team except Santana and Wright. Clean house Omar. Accept the fact that you do not have a championship caliber team, and so you can fix the problem. In case Omar ever finds Die Hard Mets Fan, our vote is for Bobby V. of course!
