[Suigin406]

r u [censored] serious?? damnit

[metsandfinsfan]

of course i am serious ....

and don't call me shirley

[Wynton]

Allow me to say something heretical:

Just because the pitching staff has a bad year does not mean that the pitching coach is bad and should be fired. This is particularly true when he has a demonstrated history of success.

After a while, of course, everyone is held accountable. But in Peterson's case, one bad half is not enough reason to replace him.

[Suigin406]

right, i think peterson is more useful than not to the team and is there anyone with his credentials the mets can get??

still, this is a business and when players don't perform, coaches get axed a lot...

again, i would like to let him work with the younger pitchers

If you had to choose which pitcher was better than Mota:

[Wynton]

Turk Wendell had at least 1/2 of a pretty good year.

[metsandfinsfan]

its not that the staff had a good year
it's that it got progressively worse

and he triggered the kazmir zambrano trade -- saying kazmir didnt have what it takes, and "I can fix victor zambrano" in 30 minutes

and he wasnt a guy willie hired. And i think omar is gonna let willie decide his fate imo

I voted Franco pitching righty, but at least Wendell was excited when he pitched.

BTW,

With the way the Phils series is going there is a chance the Mets are going to finish the year with a higher winning % than the Phils if you include the Phils playoffs. So I'm gonna say the mets won the NL East if the Phils get swept, percentage points baby.
