It seems like the Mets have not been able to string together more than 4 wins since I last regularly wrote this column, and, while I’m not particularly superstitious…

Everyone ready for Willie Watch 2.0? Losing 4 straight to the Padres would seem to seal his fate… that is, if losing the last three hasn’t already.

Tomorrow’s off-day would seem to be a pretty convenient opportunity to make a change.

Does anyone believe the Mets have the cajones to make a bold choice with a new manager?

If the Mets hire Jim Fergosi will you swallow the red pill and return to the Matrix?

Why not Bill Webb? How different can managing and directing be?

Watching Johan Santana get beaned in the shoulder was like dropping my only housekey and watching it bounce perilously towards a sewer grate in slow motion.

Scary as this may sound, if things continue in this fashion the Mets would probably be best served to go into “sell” mode after the All-Star break.

Then again, what of value do the Mets have to sell?

Strategically marketed to desparate teams at the deadline, Oliver Perez, Claudio Vargas, Endy Chavez, Scott Schoeneweis, Aaron Heilman, and Pedro Feliciano could all help bring back useful parts to help restock our system.

The Mets have lost a lot of games over the last year, but I’d bet we’d all be shocked if we checked to see in how many of those games they actually blew a lead. Elias?

I wish I could just say “Elias?” and be instantly provided with obscure stats and trivia—just like Gary, Keith and Ron.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who is bummed the Brewers beat us to Cutter Dykstra.

Is it me, or does Kevin Burkhardt dominate post-game Q&A’s? In the locker room he’s like Shaq in the paint.

The Mets have re-signed Raul Gonzalez?!? Was Ricky Ledee not returning Omar’s phone calls?

It may have been a while since I’ve written an official Sidd Speak column, but I’m still fresh out of Moises Alou injury jokes.
