I know it’s only one week into this season. We still have 25 more to go. I am in no way giving up on the 2010 Mets. That being said I am feeling pretty pessimistic right now. Am I the only one? As we Mets fans always do, we hope for the best but somewhat prepare for the worst. Safe to say that after an unproductive off-season, the majority of us do not expect a [...]

This one was over in the first inning, after Johan Santana served up a grand slam to Josh Willingham. The Mets lose back to back series to two teams that most consider to be cellar dwellers, however it’s the Mets who occupy that spot to begin the season. Game Notes Johan Santana came into todays game with a 6-1 mark against the Washington Nationals, but got totally owned by a Nats lineup that didn’t include all-star [...]

I asked this question the other day while on Twitter, with Jenrry Mejia in the bullpen, Nelson Figueroa in Philly, and no major league ready pitching prospects on call, who would be the Mets’ first choice to replace an injured or under-performing starter? Kelvim Escobar, Hisanori Takahashi and Fernando Nieve were the most popular answers I received. Unfortunately, Escobar may not comeback from his injury and even if he did, he signed on as a reliever, and [...]

According to Adam Rubin of ESPN NY, the Mets are planning to make a couple of moves in time for Sundays finale against the Nationals. Left-hander Raul Valdes, a Cuban defector who impressed manager Jerry Manuel during spring training, is believed to be headed to Citi Field for the series finale against the Washington Nationals, sources told ESPNNewYork. The corresponding move is expected to be placing right-hander Sean Green on the disabled list. According to [...]

AAA International League: Buffalo 2/8/0, Scranton 1/11/0 in 11 innings Elmer Dessens blew the game in the bottom of the 9th, giving up a run, but after the Bisons picked up a run in the 11th, he got the vulture win. Mike O Connor picked up the save with a scoreless bottom of the 11th. Pat Misch started and worked 6 shutout innings for the ND. Ruben Tejada and Ike Davis took 0-fers, no Bison [...]

The Mets lose their first heart-breaker of the season today, falling to the Nationals 4-3 in gut-wrenching style courtesy of yet another Willie Harris game saving catch. Ugh.. Game Notes Oliver Perez was good.. no, he was bad… no, he was just plain ole’ Ollie. He pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed 4 runs on 4 hits and 4 walks. Perez retired the side in order in the first, third and fifth, but got in [...]

For years my brother and I had been seven pack ticket holders over at Shea Stadium. I was upset last year when the Mets masterminds decided to do away with seven packs, and only offer a fifteen game package. For me fifteen games just wasn’t doable, not only from a financial point, but for family reasons. My brother did opt for the fifteen games. This year we were both thrilled to find out the Mets [...]

Jose Reyes makes his long awaited return to the Mets today against the Washington Nationals, where he will take his rightful place in the leadoff spot! Reyes was all smiles as usual and when asked how he felt, he simply replied “It’s good to be back”. The All-Star shortstop was sidelined for 126 games last year by a hamstring problem, then missed most of spring training with a hyperactive thyroid. But he is back and [...]

Updated Post 12:20 pm Here is some additional information regarding the recent demotion of Ruben Tejada. According to a Mets Press release, Tejada will be playing shortstop today for the Bisons and will also get some work in at second base as the Mets try to make him more versatile. At 20 years and 165 days old, Tejada will be the youngest player to appear in a game for the Bisons in almost 17 years. In [...]

Last night I had the pleasure of watching the game while chilling out with my pals on Twitter. It was actually the second time I ever did that since registering our site with Twitter about a year ago. It’s actually a pretty cool experience and it’s almost like hanging out in your living room with a bunch of friends watching the game on your HDTV, except none of them were there physically, so no mess [...]

The Mets bats came alive today breaking out for 4 homers in a great start by Mike Pelfrey in an 8-2 victory over the Nationals Game Notes In his first start of the season, Mike Pelfrey wasn’t sharp – but it really didn’t matter. Big Pelf scattered four hits over six innings, walking four and giving up two runs, both coming off an Ian Desmond triple. Although the statistics would tell you he was lucky, [...]
