or What We Do on a Slow Day(reorganized Nov.27, 2007)
bcuster
Sanchez & Padilla report to ST in perfect health.
Heilman, no longer needed in the pen, competes for & wins a spot in the starting rotation.
Confused
Jets win 2 games b4 mets win one.
Heilman is on another team, but still cranky he isn’t starting.
Santana a metCastillo plays all 162 games. Mets training staff are investigated.
Mets sweep yanks all six games, jeter says it doesn’t mean anything.
Pelfrey still can’t find that second pitch.
Danny
Chip Ambres gets a game-winning hit against the Mets next year, in a game started by CHiP.

Fernando Martinez makes September Call Ups - 2008.
With Billy Wagner shelved for 2 months in July and August. Aaron Heilman takes over closer duties and goes 14 for 14 with a sub 1 ERA in that role.
FireWillie
Willie Randolph is fired at the end of the season.
And that former Met(in Jessica’s No hitter vs. the Mets) is none other than Steve Trachsel.
Livian Hernandez has 200+ IP and X* wins. *wins to be determined based on team signed, part of a bet vs. Gus Gloom.
Gus Gloom
Milledge starts opening day 2008 in RF for the Mets.
Jon Niese is in the 2009 Mets rotation, before Aug 1.
JamesSC
Glavine will pitch in less than 15 games next year with an ERA over 6.
Pedro wins the CY Young award
Mets win division, Phillies finish in 3rd place.
Estrada never catches a game for the Mets. Estrada bats 280 with 20 HRs and 80 RBI for a team like Colorado.
Jessica
The Mets will have more instances of their right fielder batting 8th than any other team in baseball
Alou will play in more games than Castillo
Reyes will steal home at least once
There is a no-hitter at Shea Stadium. Unfortunately, the Mets are on the usual side of it, and to add insult to injury at least one out of the no-no is recorded by a former Met.
Joe A.
Mets acquire Johan Santana.
Willie Randolph finishes in the top 3 in Mgr. of the Year voting.
Johnny Estrada is an all star.
Lunkwill Fook
Fueled by the ace pitching of August call up Deolis Guerra, who goes 6-1 down the stretch, the Mets win 101 games and the division by 14 games.
Nj-DayDreamer
Randolph canned by ASB if the Mets are doing poorly and he does his best to manage the pen like he knows how…………
BADLY
Mets get Bartolo Colon
Yankees win WS
sheadenizen
Pedro and Haren start games 1 & 2 for the NY Mets in the NLCS!….and the Mets win both!

Bold prediction
Omar makes no big FA SP trade and Pelfrey wins 10 games in 2008
Jets win 2 games b4 mets win one.
Heilman is on another team, but still cranky he isn’t starting.
Santana a met, and beltran covers 2/3 of the out field. The whole outfield when alou is resting his leg injuries.
Castillo plays all 162 games. Mets training staff are investigated.
Billy wagner says something, and no one gets upset.
Mets sweep yanks all six games, jeter says it doesn’t mean anything.
Pelfrey still can’t find that second pitch.
July 3rd 2008 at approximately 2:30am: Jose Reyes admits to a reporter, drunkenly, that he really really really missed Kaz Matsui.
The prediction from my nightmares would be:
Johnny Santana breaks his arm in eight pieces, Lastings Milledge wins MVP as a Twin.
Mets get Bartolo Colon and Yankees win WS
Alright, I will bite with my predictions:
Glavine will pitch in less than 15 games next year with an ERA over 6.
Pedro wins the CY Young award
Mets win division, Phillies finish in 3rd place.
Estrada never catches a game for the Mets. Estrada bats 280 with 20 HRs and 80 RBI for a team like Colorado.
