You'...Duque, I think it depends on the situation. You're correct on Hernandez. But do you want to, for example, waste a Hernandez start where the Mets are up 2-0 in the NLDS? 1-1, maybe...and if by some strange chance the Mets are in an 0-2 hole going on the road, then you have to go with Hernandez in game three, and back to Petey and Tommy for four and five. But up 2-0, why not go with Maine or Trachsel?Metstradamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023215480704948183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1158203481088472592006-09-13T23:11:00.000-04:002006-09-13T23:11:00.000-04:00Mets fans have a lot of time on their hands these ...Mets fans have a lot of time on their hands these days. The team is playing awesome and with such a large lead.....they have been playing meaningless games in September where they can play the full roster in preparation of the playoffs. It also provides an opportunity for them to set their rotation.<BR/><BR/>For the first time since 1986, Met fans have absolutely nothing to worry about this late in the year...a big lead...vanquished (finally) their biggest rival in the Braves, and are set for the post-season. I'd be curious to hear how Met fans would set their rotation as things stand now for the Division Series? My thought is Pedro and Glavine at home and El Duque on the road (you don't need a 4th starter in the Div Series). Wacksel is bad as has been detailed on this blogsite and the kids aren't ready. Duque has been great of late and has won (I believe) eight games for the team. He's a big game pitcher with a great post-season record (lets not forget the job he did for the White Sox last year at Fenway) and is a bulldog on the road (remember he played in Cuba where people threaten to kill you if you don't perform).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1158202475192651052006-09-13T22:54:00.000-04:002006-09-13T22:54:00.000-04:00Great stuff as usual, Damus.Quick thing - I was ma...Great stuff as usual, Damus.<BR/><BR/>Quick thing - I was making fun of Cliff (in a good way, like the I started mimicking the riff for Sanford & Son) and someone chimed in and said that Cliff-banger could be this year's feel-good story a la Kirk Gibson.<BR/><BR/>Now *that* is something I can truly believe in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1158201844181745712006-09-13T22:44:00.000-04:002006-09-13T22:44:00.000-04:00We pull out another one v. the Fish.NUYCE!We pull out another one v. the Fish.<BR/><BR/>NUYCE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
