Green to the Mets!!!

[Bulldog]

See, now they look scary.
Even if he's not even close to what he used to be, hell make that a better team.

[Illusion]

The power numbers are down but he's hitting a very respectable .283

[bigboydan]

i'm not really all that sold on this guy being a real threat anymore.

it seems like every time i watch this guy play this year in clutch spots he screws it up some how. if that happens alot while playing in NY the media will drive him nuts.

[clonecat]

Doesn't do them any good if Pedro doesn't come around. Should have made a move for Zito.

[onlooker]

They should of just kept Xavier Nady.

Then made a push for another good starting pitcher. With Pedro being hurt.

[jesterson]

OK, 'nuff bout this Pedro being hurt stuff. Like I said before, if he said he had a headache he'd have gone on the DL with the lead they have...he'll make 4-5 warmup starts in Sept. for the playoffs and be rested and strong. To reiterate, he's ONLY on the DL because the Mets have such a big lead and want him rested. Period. End of discussion. Oh, and I'll take Green over Nady any day of the week.

Now, as far as adding Green, in a word, WOOHOO! The playoff lineup, assuming Floyd is healthy, and he should be:
Reyes
Green
Beltran
Delgado
Wright
Floyd
LoDuca
Valentin

Valentin and LoDuca might flip-flop, we'll see what Willie does. This is just a guess, but I assume the lefties are going to be split up and Green in the 2-hole is nice, he's faster than LoDuca although not hitting for as high an average...in front of Beltran, he may hit .320!

And what a walk-off tonight! Did I mention, WOOHOO!
