John Maine has 1 more shot to impress on Monday


With the season winding down, John Maine has 1 more chance to show he can help the Mets the last week of the season with another simulated game on Monday at Shea.

He threw 24 pitches Saturday Afternoon and his velocity was down and his command was erratic.

To me at this point even if he impresses Dan Warthen and Jerry Manuel is it worth having him coming in a tight spot at this point? I don't see any sense just to activate him to pitch in lopsided game? Of course it all hinges on the Mets making the playoffs. Will he be able to make a difference?
