Notes from a busy pregame in Milwaukee:
-- Cliff Floyd was not in the lineup on Saturday night against lefthander Dana Eveland and might sit again Sunday against lefthander Doug Davis. Floyd, who is batting . 197, was not happy about Willie Randolph’s decision, but made it clear when talking to reporters that he’s mostly unhappy with himself for, as he put it, putting himself in this predicament. Jose Valentin started in left.
-- Brian Bannister threw five innings (83 pitches) in a simulated game in Port St. Lucie, Fla. The Mets won’t say what the next step is, but if he feels OK Sunday, figure on the rookie to start either Thursday in St. Louis or Friday at Shea against the Yankees. Smart money is on Friday.
-- Heath Bell was sent to Triple-A Norfolk after Friday’s game to make room for Saturday’s starter, Jeremi Gonzalez. Bell had a 13.50 ERA in two outings.

I feel for Floyd. I'm sure he'll snap out of his funk, but I agree with benching for a game or two. However I'd rather Chris Woodward in somewhere than Valentin, who last time I checked hadn't exactly lit it up when he's been inserting in.
And let's hope that Bell's busride back to Norfolk was a one way ticket.
For awhile I was thinking of Doug Sisk when Heilman was first brought into the game.
That alleged HR call was bogus by Fielder. The umps knew they screwed up and they covered for themselves.
NY gets treated poorly in most other stadiums IMHO
