Jeff Francoeur needs to understand.  He needs to get a grasp on what he is capable of and how he performs.  Apparently Frenchy is unhappy with his playing time and that he is unhappy with the Mets’ decision to call up Fernando Martinez.  He had a closed door meeting with Jerry Manuel and discussed what his role.  From wha I understand, he is in talks and has had previous discussions with the front office about him leaving and being traded to a team where he could play full time.

I really am getting annoyed with Francoeur.  Believe me, I am one of his biggest supporters.  But, he apparently doesnt realize what the teams objective is and what it should be.  The team needs to play their young-guns.  The Mets need to see what they have in these players and to determine what moves need to be made in the offseason, because it is unlikely the Mets will make the playoffs, and I dont believe they will. 

Jeff is hitting under .250, with many many cold streaks and and 10 homers.  He doesnt walk or take any pitches, and he really hurts the team.  I love his defense, but he needs to either change his ways and get a clue.  I truely doubt that he will be a Met next season.

The Mets are reportedly being sued by a fan who was struck by the barrel of a bat at Shea Stadium in 2007.  This is being reported by Adam Rubin.  I am not sure of the name of the sue-er and of the amount being desired.  They did not have any comment as of this afternoon.

Why in the world is he sue-ing now?  Maybe he needs the money or something of that matter, but this is what is the matter with this country. 

You shouldnt be allowed to be sue over a matter like that.  I mean, its i your fault for buying a seat too close and that could happen anywhere.  Sounds fishy to me and will likely be covered by the Mets’ insurance.
