I have no idea what the Marlins or the Giants offered for Sheffield, but if it was truly paltry, why should the Mets give him up? They're paying nothing for him, they'd rather not reach a specactacular level of embarassment by getting surpassed by the Nationals this year - why assist the Marlins or the Giants? Unless the Mets received a legitimate offer, I think the Mets were right here.<br /><br />And in what world is Sheffield living in? Asking for an extension now? And threatening to go home? At least the Mets got a share of the backpage for the first time in like 3 weeks.<br /><br />The question I have is why in the world Manuel pinch-hit Sheffield after this blatant act of insubordination? That's where you can pile on - Sheffield threatens to leave, asks out of a lineup which I could probably throw zeros against, and Manuel rewards him with a pinch hit appearance?!? It's official for me - Manuel maintains no discipline in that clubhouse and has to go.Unsernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-91770344943484257622009-08-21T09:49:15.332-04:002009-08-21T09:49:15.332-04:00Schneck was at the game last night and it was amaz...Schneck was at the game last night and it was amazing, first, when they showed that Wagner was warming up in the bullpen on the scoreboard after Santana was pinch hit for and then when Metallica came on and he ran in from the bullpen. After that, I was reminded why the Citifield crowd is getting the season that it deserves. After the first strikeout, the wave began. THE WAVE!!! Billy Wagner returns...looks electric...finally adds a bit of excitement to our season...let's do the wave and ignore him..!!! There was hardly a pause in the wave as Wagner got the 2nd out and then at the end of the inning people did manage to stop the wave as they must have been excited by kiss cam or something on the big screen. One may argue that this was the fans way of showing their excitement but anyone that is at the park during the wave knows that most of the crowd is focused on watching the wave go around so they can boo if it stops or cheer if it continues, again irrespective of what is happening on the field. Our society has collective ADHD and it is very sad.Schnecknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-12240464082469817062009-08-21T08:34:58.912-04:002009-08-21T08:34:58.912-04:00"...and as long as this regime is running the..."...and as long as this regime is running the ship, it never will."<br /><br />amen to that.<br /><br />Preach it brother.<br /><br />..hell, I gotta get fired up sometime this season, don't I?
