Between the bases loaded double play and giving away the 2nd out of the 8th, Chipper may have single handedly blown this game if the Mets find any semblance of an offense now.

Sheffield is an ass for demanding a contract extension while his team is down it’s top four hitters and fighting for the rest of its season. If he threatens to go home the Mets should go ahead and let him. Baseball is ready to be rid of players like him. Just like Bonds, and Sosa….so long Sheffield and we’ll see you in the ‘roid hall of fame.

I think Mike was more upset at A. Chipper Jones, cause otherwise he’s long out of the inning. and B. himself for issuing that walk.

Gonzo giving Chipper the evil eye … not like he doesn’t deserve it, his “Care” level seems to have dropped about 20-30 points.

You make no sense. The debate is over who you would take NOW, NOT ten years ago. Aramis is 31 not that much younger anyway. Also if your a power hitter you should still be able to hit homeruns Barry Bonds did even in his late 30s steroids are not. Next time you jump in get the subject right.

We need to find a 3rd basemen to platoon with Chipper and we need to never ever resign Gonzo after this year and just not bring him in to pitch he is horrible…throws a fastball right down the middle to frenchy when everyone knows he’s a good fastball hitter and will swing on the first pitch
