6 hours ago NEW YORK (AP) In a pep talk via e-mail, Mike Schmidt reminded the Philadelphia Phillies of their big comeback to win the NL East last season and said "the Mets know you're better than they are." With the Phillies opening a crucial, three-game series at New York on Friday night, the Hall of Famer sent an e-mail to manager Charlie Manuel hoping to fire up the team.

From NY Sports Dog: The Mets are a team that is easy to like for several reasons. The main reason, at least for this writer, is that they play hard. The Mets run, play tight defense, hit well with nice power, and they have solid starting pitching and a capable bullpen.

The girls are back and now moving into the house…so far some of the girls are not treating Isis like a social leper but others aren’t taking it so well.  With there being 3 britany’s Tyra asked them to change their names so I’m trying to keep up, lol.

There has been much talk over the last 10 days about Mike Pelfrey’s workload going into September. The innings limitations and year over year increases has been a topic of conversation on this show since its inception. Josh Thompson, in todays Journal News, discusses this very topic with Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus.

From NY Sports Dog: At what point do the Mets remove the interim tag from Jerry Manuel? Billy Wagner will come back, but as long as the Mets are winning with Ayala at closer, I say let the man get a little more time than he really needs. Mark Sep 20th on your calenders.

I know I wanted the Mets to wait until the season was over, to see what Carlos Delgado could do during that final month of the season, but no more. The Mets should reward him, and strengthen the team, by picking up his option for next year, as long as Jerry Manuel is the manager next year, too.

Despite last night’s brutal loss to the rival Philadelphia Phillies, the Mets are obviously a different team with Jerry Manuel at the helm. The rifts in the clubhouse appear over, the biting comments in the media have stopped and even some Met fans are calling for Carlos Delgado to return in 2009.

From NY Sports Dog: He did it again--24-year old Mike Pelfrey went out, in a game his club desperately needed, and pitched a complete game, 1 run, ballgame. He dominated, absolutely dominated, and put a spark back in a team that had lost their last two.

When does Jerry Manuel lose the word "interim" from his title? He's playing some guys named Evans and Murphy in left. He never had Willie's MVP Church until this weekend. Willie's best pitcher John Maine is hurt. The All-Star closer is gone. Yet there they are in first place.

It wasn’t long ago that the Broncos had a lot of questions, on both sides of the field.  Eight months ago, it was “How will the Broncos bounce back from this disaster?” Two months ago, off-field issues involving a certain star wide receiver were dominating the headlines.
