You know what's awful; the mets knowing Mo would bat despite Cervelli being in the on deck and they still threw a couple pitches to Jeter before walking him. Is Jerry Manuel intentionally trying to top Grady Little or Dusty Baker as biggest coaching loof ever?

I had no problem with that. The first rule of baseball managing is that you never want to walk the bases loaded (without 1st base being open), so he tried 3 pitches to try to get jeter to chase(which we knew wouldn't happen), but he gave it a shot, and no harm came from it.

Honestly, I think K-Rod's first pitch strike was a mistake. The catcher set up SO FAR outside and K-Rod still threw a strike.

Cause the mets are ...borderline retarded? Only the mets would pitch to Derek Jeter when the freakin' closer was batting next.
