Can We Now Say Livan is #2?
My question is this, though…..for as dominating as Livan has been so far, does last night’s game cement him as our #2 starter behind Johan?

Metsmerized Today – Livan, F-Mart Under/Over, Energizer Bunny, Edge
Good morning and welcome to another edition of Metsmerized Today. What an impressive performance by Livan Hernandez last night. Let’s see what the buzz is around the web. Jerry Manuel had a classic response when asked to comment on his fifth starters clutch performance. This quote comes courtesy of MetsBlog, “Well, I’ll probably get him a recliner in the locker-room, probably get him a big soft chair, and put him in that. I call him [...]

Gary Sheffield Having An Impact On The Mets
When the Mets signed Gary Sheffield on April 3, most of the talk was about him having a limited playing schedule. “Limited” would not be the word to describe Sheffield’s impact for the Mets. The veteran outfielder has become the everyday cleanup hitter, filling the void left by the injured Carlos Delgado. Sheffield cranked his fifth home run of the season on Tuesday night, a three-run blast that got the Mets to a 6-1 victory over the Nationals. [...]

Oliver Perez Walks 5, Ends Bisons Win Streak
If you were hoping to get an improved and rejuvenated Oliver Perez back in the starting rotation anytime soon, forget about it. Perez is now losing games for Buffalo these days, and in his first start with them he looked like the same old Ollie. The Buffalo News reports, Perez, in his first game action since May 2 because of a right patellar tendinitis, was his usual combination of erratic and impressive in the Bisons’ [...]

Why Are The Mets So Bad At Handling Injuries?
This team when it comes to handling injuries is just horrible. We saw it last year with Ryan Church’s concussion in Atlanta. The Mets gave him a game off, flew him to Colorado and had him playing while suffering a concussion. It was a major setback to the season as Church was not the same player when he came back after finally being put on the disabled list. This year in Spring Training there were [...]

Metsmerized Today – Tuesday Trivia Question Edition
Today’s Links Citi Field is looking a lot like a MASH unit these days, as the nagging injuries and those requiring a stint on the DL keep mounting. To begin, Jose Reyes attempted to do some jogging before the game but announced he was not close to returning. The Mets now delay any decision for now, as they consider whether they should place him on the DL on Friday. Why wait? Is there any benefit to rushing him back? Put [...]

Will Mets Go After Jake Peavy?
I just read an article by Dayn Perry of Fox Sports who lists a few baseball trades that he says need to happen right now. This one got my attention… Jake Peavy to the Mets The Padres, despite their ongoing hot steak, have precious little chance of making the postseason (CoolStandings.com gives them less than a 10% chance of making it). As well, they’ve been actively shopping Peavy for months. The Mets, meanwhile, badly need help [...]
