Mets, Castillo heading toward messy breakup?

WASHINGTON - The Mets are likely to take a huge financial hit this winter if they are able to trade Luis Castillo and his $25-million contract. But it's becoming more apparent that these two sides are heading for a divorce when this season is over, and the latest example came Tuesday when manager Jerry Manuel opted to start rookie Argenis Reyes over the three-time All-Star.

Castillo was disappointed, to put it mildly.

Castillo had been a good soldier in accepting a platoon with veteran Damion Easley, who was hitting .290 against lefthanders. But getting benched in favor of Reyes seemed to sting a little bit more.

"There's nothing to say," Castillo said. "I'm here to help the team, but this is the first time in my life it's been like that."

That's understandable. It's not often that an 11-year veteran with Castillo's resume takes a backseat to a rookie who has played only 42 games. But with Easley still hurting, and Manuel feeling the pressure of the pennant race, the manager chose to go with his gut.

"We've had some success with in the lineup and he brings a feeling that I like for where we are now," Manuel said. "That's why he's playing. He brings a little energy, and when he played, we won. And we need to win. So I gotta see if that combination works. It's nothing against Luis. I need to find some things that are working for us right now."

Great signing, Omar!

""This is what makes it fun...This is what you work hard for. This is what you prepare for...This is a bump in the road. It doesn't matter what Philadelphia does. It only matters what the guys in this clubhouse do and we plan on getting the job done. Like I said, we're gonna see what we're made of. This is a little bump in the road, and I'm excited moving forward because I think we've got a room full of guys who will not allow us to fail."

For the second time this season, Mike Pelfrey was on the losing end of a 1-0 game against the Nats.

Also, Tatis is out for the rest of the season.

Dickhead - take a look through this thread; I think Ive posted probably less than 20 times in it..I wasnt posting when the team was 3.5 games  up; why would I do it now?

Better question - When are you tailgating with us and what are you deathly allergic to?
