Jose Reyes avoided the DL yesterday after being diagnosed with tendinitis behind the right knee, but according to David Lennon of Newsday, the Mets could still opt to place him on the DL if he shows no improvement this weekend. If he does get DL’ed maybe we’ll see F-Mart? Dave Rosado of Hot Foot echoes my sentiments and writes a great argument on why we should leave Jose Reyes alone. I never once had a [...]

I was looking at the league leaders while researching for another blog I am composing, and I was shocked to learn that the Mets, yes our Mets, lead the league in hitting. 1. .287 – NY Mets 2. .285 – LA Dodgers 3. .276 – Washington 4. .266 – Houston 5. .263 – Atlanta 6. .262 – Pittsburgh 7. .262 – Philadelphia 8. .257 – St. Louis 9. .255 – Cinncinatti 10. .255 – Milwaukee [...]

According to David Lennon of Newsday, the Mets may still opt to place Jose Reyes on the DL especially if he shows no signs of improvement today. If that happens, the Mets may very well call up their top prospect, outfielder Fernando Martinez. Lennon writes, The Mets could simply wait to put Reyes on the DL before tonight’s game and recall another bat, such as Fernando Martinez, to fortify a lineup that has not homered [...]

Yes, I’ve heard all the gloomy numbers regarding the Mets homerun drought. They haven’t homered in 69 straight innings and 307 plate appearances. David Wright was asked about the recent power outage and this is what he said to reporters on Wednesday, “We’ve played in big parks,” third baseman David Wright said, fully aware that they’ll now play in a small one. “I’m not worried about the home runs. That’s the last thing I’m concerned [...]

Buffalo 4, Columbus 6 It was a second straight very rough outing for Michael Antonini, who gave up 4 runs in the first inning, but settled down and pitched 3 more solid innings after, allowing just a run. Overall, he gave up 5 runs in 4 innings, taking his first loss in AAA. Fernando Martinez continued to rage white hot in May with 2 more hits, including his 14th double of the season. Martinez in [...]

Mets.com is reporting that the Mets dodged a bullet and that Jose Ryes will not require a stint on the DL. They write, The New York Mets got a little good news today regarding shortstop Jose Reyes. Or at least it wasn’t the bad news they may have been expecting. Reyes underwent an MRI at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan after aggravating a right calf injury that had been bothering him for more [...]

According to Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse, the Mets have already been in contact with the Cleveland Indians about infielder Mark DeRosa. He writes, Even before Jose Reyes became the latest Met to suffer an injury, leaving Wednesday night’s game, the Mets had been talking with the Indians about acquiring Mark DeRosa to play first base in Carlos Delgado’s absence, an official from one of the teams confirmed to FanHouse. DeRosa could also help out [...]

Metsmerized Today is your daily dose of all the Mets news, quotes, and links that you need to know! Okay, okay so nobody expected that we would get swept in L.A. this week, except for Mike Francesa, but it wasn’t all bad news. Yes losing is never good, but losses sometimes lead to good things. To begin, a big hand of applause for how Dan Murphy played first base last night, he’s no Keith Hernandez, [...]

Mets shortstop Jose Reyes will be in New York today for tests and imaging on his sore right calf. Reyes took himself out of last night’s game after he aggravated the injury running hard to first base to beat out a grounder. I did some research and according to WebMD, calf strains may be minor or very severe and physician grade the injury according: Grade 1 Calf Strain : The muscle is stretched causing some [...]

In the first major trade of the young season, the Chicago White Sox may have just landed themselves on of the games top pitchers, Jake Peavy. According to a report on ESPN by Peter Gammons, The San Diego Padres have agreed to trade staff ace Jake Peavy to the Chicago White Sox and are waiting for Peavy to decide if he will waive his no-trade clause, sources tell ESPN. Peavy has a full no-trade clause [...]

As I watched the start of the game last night and got my first look at Dan Murphy manning his new digs at first base, I have to admit my expectations for success were very low. Based on what I had already seen of Murphy at leftfield, and how reluctant the Mets were to move him to first base, I could only surmise that he must be even worse as an infielder than he was as [...]
