HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

Shawn Estes pitched 7 innings and gave up 3 runs in his Mets debut. He would have got a win but the offense didn't produce today. Estes has one of the best curve balls in the league, he just has to throw it consistently over the plate. If he does that he will have a big year for us, and I am rooting for him because he seems like a real nice guy.

Other than the one hitter which was awesome, he's been very dissapointing. He walks to many guys and is susceptable to the big inning. I expected more out of him. It's still very early but his pitching so far has not been very good. We need this guy to be more consistent if we're going to get anywhere this year.

I thought this was an excellent pick up when they traded two bench players for what I thought was a pretty decent starting pitcher. Mad Dog warned us all that Estes wasn't really that good and he was right. Other than the one hitter Estes has been average to horrible. Today he got killed by walks. That's inexcusable. I only hope he can pull a Dave Mlicki and have his best outting against the Yankees next week.

One masterpiece, a shutout against the Milawaukee Brewers! Didn't they lead the league in strikeouts last year? Probably the easiest team to shut out. My favorite Mets starter now that the Ape Man is gone. I just hope Mr. Estes can compile a winning record.

My first reaction was that he missed Clemens on purpose, afraid to really get in the whole Piazza frey. I still have my doubts although he did hit a homer and throw a great game so I'll cut him some slack for missing the sub-human Clemens. Only Estes knows for sure.

I wasn't too thrilled when we got Shawn, he only seemed to be good when he pitched against the Mets like most of our aquisitions. As far as the Clemens thing, I think Shawn would have drilled him in his fat rear end if he wasn't pitching as well as he was. If he started the game really shaky and the Mets were down 4-0 like usual when he pitches, Roger would have a nice bruise on his bloated butt. I also think because he felt he had good stuff that day he opted to throw around that big piece of crap rather than drilling him good and getting thrown out of the game in the 3rd inning. I will say hitting the homer and pitching a better than average game endeared him to me for at least this season.

What a dissapointment this guy was. traded today for 4 minor leaguers, he never lived up to expectations. I'm glad he didn't pitch a no-hitter earlier this season, considering his fate. He was on a pace to win 5 games for the season though. And for that he got $6,000,000.

All you Shawn haters need to shut the hell up. First of all, it is not his fault that the Mets scored less than 3 runs in almost every single one of his starts. In his last 5 starts except for that blow-up in St Louis, he allowed atleast 2 runs and his record was 1- 2 with 3 ND. I think he pitched fairly. The team just didn't score any runs for him. And another thing Shawn is not weak. He just has some issues. He is a great pitcher and I can bet you when he signs as a free-agent next year he is going to have a winning record. Most of the former Mets have success after they leave and they kick our asses. This team is cursed. Steve Phillips will regret trading Shawn.

This feeble minded simp was exactly as advertised. He could not take the pressure of San Fran and we expected him to flourish in NY? He fell far short of our hoped for projections, but I guess that is more our fault than his. Someone said he was not weak....he had issues? That's the type of feel good psychobabble nonsense that has made this country a bunch of losers who whine. He was weak yet had talent. The only problem was he had the mental makeup of Corky from Life Goes On.

Memo to Jessica: Wake up. Shawn sucks. After what he did with us and the Reds, he'll be lucky if the damn Devil Rays offer him a contract. He'll go the way of another lefty enigma, the ex-Brave Steve Avery, who flamed out young after flirtation with glory in '91 and '92. Estes will be out of baseball in three years.

Baseball is a great game, but one thing I don't like about it is purposefully throwing at a batter. Even pitchers say it makes them afraid. "What if I lose control, and I put the guy into a coma? What if he breaks something and ends his career? What about his family and kids?" Good questions; unfortunately, these genuine, human concerns are answered with an idiotic machismo: "It's all part of the game."

That's why Estes is a hero in my book. Whether or not he missed Clemens on purpose, who knows. But rather than pegging him, he did an even better thing: he hit a home run off him. A truly improbable, magic moment. Instead of lowering himself to Clemens's level, he beat him at his own game. Good had triumphed over the forces of evil.

Currently pitching batting practice for the Cubs. 30 innings pitched and 50 hits allowed. Ouch! 6.53 ERA. Amazingly, he still has 2 wins and is 2-3 on the season. I guess everybody knows he'll never throw at them so they are tee-ing off on him.

Say what you want about their being no room in baseball for intentionally hitting batters. Say what you wish about Estes' "appropriate" retaliation pitch behind Clemens' back. But this man unequivocally failed in his fraternal duty to drill that bully as a show of solidarity for his teammate.

Clemens' nearly severely injuring Piazza was not an isolated incident. Clemens showed little remorse. The Mets and Piazza received little retribution. There should not have been any question about the mode of retaliation.

Shawn's Mets legacy can be summed up simply: he missed Roger Clemens' butt.
