The Mets lost to the Milwaukee Brewers 10-6 tonight although it wasn’t as close as the score would suggest. The Mets looked lifeless out there tonight and their body language has become a concern to me. Every now and then when the cameras peeked into the dugout, all you saw were a bunch of sad sacks, with shoulders shrugged and listless looks on their faces. It was so tough to watch… Fernando Nieve (3-1) finally [...]

With all of our stars sidelined aside from D Wright – it’s been an interesting year for many players in the organization that probably never figured to have an opportunity to play as much as they have in 2009.  So continuing our analysis of these role players that have suddenly become so crucial to our fate this season – let’s take a look at Nick Evans – who gets a second chance to prove he [...]

This weekend, I had the pleasure of having Brian Moritz answer a few questions for me and get us caught up on the Binghamton Mets and also get the scoop on some of our top prospects. Brian has been covering the B-Mets for three years for the Press & Sun Bulletin, and he reports on them daily on his blog Behind the Plate. JD - One of the most talked about pitching prospects lately has been Jenrry Mejia. [...]

 I read an interesting article on ESPN by Tristan Cockcroft entitled Shea It Isn’t. The piece is well written and well researched and is a fair comparison of the two parks. One of the interesting parts of his article was the following chart which shows exactly which non-homers would have been homeruns at Shea Stadium. Hitter Team Date Pitcher Team Result Justin Maxwell WAS 4/25 Oliver Perez NYM Fly out Renyel Pinto FLA Triple Gary Sheffield [...]

Atlanta Braves: (4-6; -5) The Braves lost two of there to the Boston Red Sox, and now begin a three game home series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Lowe vs. Blanton on Tuesday. Also, outfielder Jordan Schafer might be drawing interest from the Washington Nationals, but we’ll get back to that. Florida Marlins: (6-4;-3) Interestingly enough, the Marlins are the only NL East team above .500 in their last 10 games. They were, however, swept by [...]

The Mets are in a serious need of power.  Due to injuries, we have only two proven home run hitters (Sheffield & Wright) in the lineup – one of which is not really hitting homeruns.  Citi Field is playing a significant part in our lack power – but I believe hitting for power is important to be a contender.  We are 25th in the league in slugging percentage, and if it wasn’t for the fact [...]

Alright, so I was going to say “I hope everyone’s having a good day”, but watching K-rod walk Mariano last night has sucked the life out of me. I wasn’t favoring the umpire’s strike zone last night, or the ESPN announcers…but that’s not what I’m writing about. I do hope everyone’s having a good day, and I hope you’ll enjoy keeping track of this. The MetsMerized Player of the Week is an old feature that [...]
