That wasn't a panic move. Church, the veteran, was still respectable and Tatis was playing well.

Second, it's obvious that something isn't right wirh Church yet he keeps him in the lineup. If D is the reason, I'd rather he go with Endy at this point, bat him second and Murphy sixth. With Church not hitting, 6,7,8 and 9 are dreadful.

Haha! You're suggesting starting Endy in the most important games of the Mets' season...and Manuel is the one with the problem?
Gimme a break. With Jerry forced to go to the punchless Castillo/Argenis combo at second, it would be ludicrous for him to go with Inning Endy as the regular leftfielder. Like it or not, Church is the team's best option right now.

Finally, you're right. He keeps running the same *******s out there. Shoeneweis and Heilman almost single handedly will cost the Mets two straight division titles.

Can't argue with this one. Not only are these guys stiffs, they're overworked stiffs. Time for Jerry to give Parnell a shot.
