After David Wright struck out four times on Wednesday night and earned the first Golden Sombrero of his career, I couldn’t help but notice how different he looked from the Wright we saw on the recent West Coast swing. I decided to check out Baseball Reference and take a look at his home and road splits. The results were somewhat dramatic in several areas. The comparison gets off to a good start because the sample [...]

Carlos Beltran is listed as day-to-day and is due back from a bone bruise on his right knee tonight against the Marlins. On Wednesday, Beltran said he was feeling 100% better and that he would be ready to play on Friday. Manuel said Beltran will start in center field. Alex Cora is on the 15 day DL and is due back from a torn ligament in his right thumb on Tuesday. Cora began a three game rehab in [...]

Most of you know by now, about how the recently called-up Fernando Martinez failed to run out a fair popup in front of the plate. It was a stupid mistake and he should have been hauling ass. After the game Jerry Manuel explained, “That was really an unfortunate thing for him, but it was a mistake. I don’t see that as part of his regular behavior.” Martinez was clearly embarrassed and said, “I will say sorry [...]

The baseball season has shifted into high gear and the NL East race is shaping up to be quite a battle. Mets Merized Online is getting ready to crank it up a few notches as things begin to heat up!  We are now looking to staff several spots for bloggers with a passion for baseball and the Mets.   Currently, we need writers who can cover Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays. We are also looking for a couple [...]

Is it just me, or did you also wake up with a craving for a Subways meatball sub this morning? Step aside Jared, Subways has a new spokesman and his name is Daniel Murphy. Last night, Murphy sold more five-dollar foot longs than Jared has in the last 12 months. With the score tied 3-3, Murphy launched a shot that disappeared into the bright yellow Subway $5 Foot-long sign in rightfield, and was originally ruled in [...]

Game Summary The Mets Sweep! It may have not been the prettiest win of the season, but the Mets beat the Nationals 7-4 tonight and completed the sweep for their third straight win. Johan Santana clearly didn’t have it today, but luckily the offense picked him up and he was able to walk away with the win. Daniel Murphy had a big day at the plate with three hits including a double and a homerun [...]

Year after year, is anyone really surprised when absurd All-Star voting preliminary voting figures are released. We shouldn’t be, because there will always be the city that bombards the voting, the popularity contest, or the injured player who is inexplicably high. Here’s the rundown of how voting has shaped up across the league: 1B: National League- Albert Pujols. Pujols has almost doubled up Prince Fielder and will likely start in St. Louis. Pujols will and [...]

Oh yeah, give it up for the big guy Livan Hernandez. We’ll never know if he’s really 34 years old or 38 years old, but as long as he continues to pitch this effectivelly does it really matter? Livan was in complete control last night, baffling Nationals hitters, keeping them off balance, and saving his best stuff for getting himself out of trouble. It was Starting Pitching 101 and class was definitely in session. Lets [...]

Buffalo 3, Lehigh Valley 5 Jon Niese had yet another godawful performance for the Bisons this season, tonight giving up 5 runs in 6 innings. As a sign of how beyond pathetic he’s been this year, tonight’s outing lowered his ERA under 8. (By the way, if you think I’m being overtly critical, keep in mind I LOVE Jon Niese, have since we drafted him in 2005). The Bisons had 9 hits on the night, [...]
