Our second short tri-state nightmare is over

Andy Phillips, we hardly knew ye.

Phillips was DFA as the Mets called up Tony Armas Jr. to make Tuesday's start against the Cardinals.

Our first tri-state nightmare came when the Mets tested Abraham Nunez out to the tune of two AB's. Phillips was lucky enough to score five at bats with the Metropolitans, making me half right. Last Thursday, I predicted Phillips' tenure with the Mets would last ten at bats.

Good luck, Armas. Find some way to right this Mets ship.

TSTDIA: Cardinals 7 -- Mets 1

Let's see...
Starting Pitching: negative.
Relief Pitching: negative.
Defense: negative.
Hitting: negative.
Pinch hitting: negative.

When Andy Phillips scores your only run, I'm pretty sure it's not a good night for your team.

Santana isn't perfect, says so himself

Johan Santana:

"All I know is that they brought me here to do a job and help the team and I have given them my best. It seems like every time I pitch I have to be absolutely perfect, or else we lose. I’m not perfect."

It's about time someone stepped up and said something somewhat controversial. This team is still playing lackluster baseball, Willie Randolph or no Willie Randolph.

Omar Minaya better be looking around because Trot Nixon, Andy Phillips, Fernando Tatis and the rest of the cast of characters just are not cutting it at the major league level.

Moves need to be made and someone needs to step up in the clubhouse. Why can't it be Johan Santana?

Mets make move; It won't work out

The Mets seem hellbent on attempting to pick off of other teams scrap heaps.

On Wednesday they added Andy Phillips off waivers from the Cincinatti Reds. Robinson Cancel was cast away.

I'm expecting somewhere in the range on 10 AB's before Phillips' Mets career is over. Someone needs to remind the front office we have a minor league system.
