Sure, it didn't end well this time, but you never know what little thing is going to turn the tide in a game. I hope they're both alright. I doubt we'll see either of them in action today.

Church I dont care about. We should be talking about that wonderful performance by Campillo!!!! Glavine was great, but Campillo was so unexpected for me. I think he has to be given another start and a chance for the position if he can continue to pitch like that. We should be hearing Gonzalez knocking on the door soon to rejoin the club. He pitched well recently and is expected to leave extended spring training for Richmond soon. That being said and the bullpen doing well right now... Here is a great opportunity for you Jorge.

Great performance though and I'd love to see him as a starter.

I don't think he was trying to get a concussion or hit Yunel with his head - it just didn't seem like heads-up baseball by Church. Just poking a little fun for the boo-boo. Campillo was electric. We've got to pull him from the bullpen and make him the 5th starter. Bennett can hold down the long relief role assuming Bobby doesn't use him every day for one inning.

That wasn't a slide. It looks like he forgot to slide until Escobar was already past the bag, and he just kind of ducked. I just re-watched it. That wasn't a slide.

Like I said, I don't think he did anything wrong. Just trying to keep the game alive and playing hard. It was just an unfortunate incident, but that happens.

It's just a bit of good fun aimed at Church. Look at the picture - Escobar couldn't possibly have jumped any higher. And there isn't anything wrong with a bit of fun - I said above Church wasn't trying to do anything wrong, but when you go into a slide like that you've got it coming to you.

He's the ONLY guy on that team that does lay it out there unlike all of the other high priced Divas. the Mets are a bunch of bench warmers with a couple of guys that will bust it, and while I have no problem kicking the guys that don't play the game the way they should, Church does and I hope he gets better.

But if I were as goofy and clumsey as he was, then I would deserve to get bonked on the head. It's unfortunate, but Escobar was totally trying to jump over Church. Church might as well have tackled Escobar. It happens. Especially when you are trying to interfere with the defense.

It really wasn't a safe slide. It wasn't dirty, it was a breakup play, but it also wasn't happenstance that he got drilled in the forehead. I won't go so far as Colin's "egging you on" piece to say he "deserved it" but he definitely got what he was risking by sliding the way he did. It's like a collision at the plate (which I hate a lot of times, mostly because we always retain the casualties of those...ie. Estrada, Olson) you're trying to break up the play, not destroy the guy, and you end up getting destroyed.
