We welcomed our second daughter into the world right around the time that Willie Randolph was being fired in California. I’ll give my thoughts on the firing of Willie Randolph and what it might mean for the Mets. I also talk about the measures Omar Minaya may need to take if the Mets don’t substantially improve over the next four weeks. Greg from Connecticut calls in and expresses the frustration that many Mets fans have been feeling.

Poor play, injuries and (at times) lack of hustle have hurt the team. Who will Omar go out and get to try and boost the roster? Will Pedro Martinez come back 100%? Will the Carloses pick it up after the break?

Lots of questions folks. As fans all we can do is believe in the magic.

So its on to Philadelphia for four games in three days. A big series? Yesiree!

I talk alot about the state of the offense, going through the lineup and addressing the issues. I think we need to trade for an outfielder. What do you think? Vote here.

The last two losses this weekend against Detroit were real tough because our pitching finally collapsed while the bats came alive.

We’ve been hurt by a variety of injuries but we still have some important core players like Jose Reyes, David Wright, Carlos Delgado and Carlos Beltran. Shawn Green is expected to return very soon. Moises Alou could be back in a week or so.

Interesting schedule coming up with Los Angeles and the (surging?) Yankees over the next week.

Trade talk will heat up as the month of July approaches. Who would you trade for?
