My T&R

Last night Carlos Delgado did not start against a righty, Braves rookie Jair Jurrjens. Willie Randolph publicly tries to minimize the relevance of such maneuvers. What else can he do? His first baseman makes $16 million, and his employer isn't quite ready to dine on that contract. Nevertheless, Randolph's actions toward Delgado are going to speak louder than his words. And his words should not exactly comfort Delgado. Given a direct chance to support Delgado yesterday, Randolph provided the kind of lukewarm endorsement you would expect Hillary Clinton to give Barack Obama. "I can't predict what he will do [statistically]," Randolph said. "I have confidence he will get going and have a decent year for us."

This sucks! A 3rd day of Mets fans venting about Delgado! He's 36, steroids are out..... guess what, there will be very few all stars over 35 from this point on. 35+ no steroids = over

As always Willie will try and sugarcoat the Delgado situation, like he does with every other problem. He can never come out and say what's really on his mind. Everything is one big smokescreen.

Sir Robin - Nice job bashing 123.

As for Delgado, stick a fork in him. I think he may be done. Don't know what happened to the guy, but he just hasn't been the same since '06.

Tell it like it is

Willie, Willie, you of all people should know that its still early in the season and if you don't play DELGADO he won't get out of his slump. Put him in the line-up and give him a chance to produce. He will come around and everyone knows it. He would have a good year helping the METS get to the promise land the playoffs. Lets focus more on the pitching. Keep the faith METS fans.
