If there's one thing that pisses me off about the Mets more than anything, it's how stingy they are with roster moves.

First off Reyes...they've said if he can't play by Friday, he will go on the DL. But since he played in a game and a half during the roadtrip, the DL trip can only be retroactive to May 20 so he won't be able to return until the first week of June...if they had DL'ed him as soon as he got injured he would be getting ready to come back by now.

So they've been playing Ramon Martinez at shortstop, and he's been atrocious and injured himself but the Mets aren't willing to promote one of the couple of minor leaguers who can play a good shortstop, because they aren't on the 40 man roster. Who the fuck cares if you need to put them on the 40 man roster? They aren't projected to be more than big league backups anyway.

Then to top all of that off, Ryan Church has been injured and they won't DL him either, so the Mets are going with a 23 man roster with two less bench guys. Thank fuck Livan Hernandez can be a decent pinch hitter when he doesn't start.
