What do you get when you cross A. a rooster B. Lance Bass? The Cardinal Fan should nail this one. Anyway, the end result of crossing those two is Heilman and Glavine who have single handedly lost the last 2 games for the Mets. Heilman came in late to Sunday's Philly game and got slapped around for 2 runs after the Mets had tied it up, including a bomb from everyone's enemy (seriously, why do Mets fans hate this guy?) Jimmy Rollins. I had an awesome post all ready to go just as soon as the final out was made but it was not to be. I shouldn't count my posts before they hatch.......or something like that. Heilman's act is growing tired and is coming close to replacing Schoeneweis as "Met most likely to get booed unmercifully". We are 29 days away from the trade deadline and would love to see Heilman NOT on our team come August. I feel the same about Schoeneweis, but no one is going to be dumb enough to take on that contract. Well, besides the Mets that is. Nevermind. Moving on.

Glavine continues to erase the "ace" label, getting shelled again last night at Colorado. Not only did he get shelled, but in the 6 run 3rd, EVERY ball was hit hard. Even the outs were smoked. It's one thing to throw a bomb to an all-star outfielder (Holliday) It's another entirely to get slapped by the opposing pitcher for 2 steaks when the pitcher had ONE career hit. Too many times this year the Mets have counted on Glavine to be their "stopper". Stop a losing streak, or to stop a losing streak from happening but he doesn't seem to have the ability or the mental make-up for that role anymore. Scary thought......he could be becoming Steve Trachsel. Well, with out the 8 minutes between pitches.

Perez and Sosa to the DL. Vargas (yuck) gets another shot tonight.
