Song of the day: Jellyhead by Crush (laugh allllllll you want) AAA International League: Buffalo 10/19/0, Pawtucket 3/7/1 The Bisons exploded for 19 hits, 3 walks and 10 runs, with the top 3 in the order (Pridie, Feliciano, Jacobs) combining to go 9 for 16 with 5 runs, 2 HR and 7 RBI), accounting for all 10 of the runs. 6 of the 9 hitters had multi hit games, led by Jesus Feliciano’s 4. Ruben [...]

Updated Post 4/25 2:00 PM While digging up some information on Gee, I came across some glowing remarks by Bisons manager Ken Oberkfell after his last start. “He was outstanding,” Bisons manager Ken Oberkfell said. “He had control of his pitches. He went after hitters and worked ahead and gave us a solid seven innings on a pretty cold day. … Each outing he’s going a little deeper in the pitch count, a little deeper [...]

If you look at the Mets record, you may think they’ve had a very uneventful season. Afterall, they’ve won 9 games, and they’ve lost 9 games. But in all reality, .500 never looked so good. Any team with a .500 record is going to have its share of positives and negatives. But for the Metsies, the good far outweighs the bad, because a lot of the ifs are falling into place. The Mets starting pitching [...]

We’ve all enjoyed the remarkable return of a contending Mets team. Make no mistake either, this team is a contender and will contend. It’s amazing what a 23 year old AAA callup will do for a floundering and monumentally boring team…(and some good starting pitching)   Thank you Ike Davis, because, coincidentally, since you were recalled the Mets have been reborn. Jeff Francouer’s pie to the face wasn’t just for Ike, it was a wakeup call to a [...]

The Mets managed to pull themselves out of the basement in the NL East by beating the Braves 3-1 today at Citi Field. In fact, they are tied with the Nats for third place. And not only have they improved their record to 9-9, but they have won three in a row and have secured back-to-back winning series. The “new” lineup appears to be working for this team. For the first time in a long [...]

Songs of the night: Phoenix – 1901 and Muse – Knights of Cydonia AAA International League: Buffalo 4/9/1, Pawtucket 2/6/0 RA Dickey had another really good outing today, giving up just 2 runs on 6 hits over 8 innings for his 2nd win. John Lujan picked up the save with a perfect 9th. The Bisons had 9 hits and 4 walks, but were hitless in 5 ABs with RISP, and left 6 on base, while [...]

Mets took game two of the series against the Braves winning 3-1 and reach .500 on the season. Game Notes Jonathon Niese pitched another great 5 1/3 innings of baseball. He fell into some deep bases loaded trouble in the first inning but was able to fight his way out of it. Niese allowed five hits, walked a season high five batters while striking out six, and only allowed one run for another great outing [...]

Through the first 17 games of the season the New York Mets are 8-9. No, this is not the fast start that us fans had wanted to see the team get off to, but it not too bad considering the losses of the first 4 series. Also, we are yet to see the offense come alive with Wright and Bay not producing at their normal rate. The pitching staff is not as bad as many [...]

I don’t know about you, but as a die-hard Elton John fan I was thrilled when during last night’s game against the Braves, Keith Hernandez mentioned the song “I’ve Seen That Movie Too,” an obscure number from Elton’s 1973 “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” album. (I believe it was during that conference on the mound where our boys were discussing yet another John Maine injury.) And what was even more impressive was that both Keith and [...]
