Over 400 of Kemp’s times to the plate in the reg. season came in the six thru nine part of the batting line up. But now he is a silver slugger, so maybe Mgr. Joe Torre will learn from this mistake next year.

Yeah, because a random 106 sample size in September is indicitative that a player hits better when batting in a certain spot of the lineup, and has absolutely nothing to do with an accompanying .253 BABIP for the month.

Then again, maybe it does take a certain level of lunacy to be a Mets fan.

But it’s obviously killing the team, they just have the best record in the NL. Torre should stop team killing and give his average-hitting vets more whacks at the dish and stop allowing 25 year olds run things.

Since August 25, roughly when Torre started batting Kemp 2nd or 4th, Kemp has a .851 OPS. That’s pretty much the same as his season total of .869. Kemp is doing just fine.

too bad that’s killin’ the team….oh well….not my problem…Torre’s always been an overrated manager with his silly moves….
8th was exactly where Kemp belonged.

Well at least there isn’t an “8″ or “9″ in that list!

I now think Torre just checks this blog post daily to fuck with us. In the last 14 games Kemp has batted 6-4-5-7-7-7-4-1-6-2-2-2-5-5.
