Michael G. Baron of MetsBlog dug up a post by Tracy Ringolsby of FOX Sports, who suggests Mets third baseman David Wright needs a fresh start and the Mets should trade him. He writes, He is not only talented, but he’s too nice to be the eye of the Queens Hurricane. He’s a legitimate bat with stellar defense and a contract that pays him well, but also gives any team with interest three years of control. [...]

The Mets have activated reliever Ryota Igarashi from the disabled list and he will be in the bullpen when the Mets play their finale tonight against the Yankees. According to mets.com, rather than send highly regarded prospect Jenrry Mejia back to the Minor Leagues to stretch out as a starter, the Mets opted to keep Mejia on the roster following Saturday’s 5-3 win over the Yankees, instead optioning Manny Acosta to Triple-A Buffalo to make [...]

AAA International League: Buffalo 4/8/0, LeHigh Valley 1/3/2 Dillon Gee had a very good outing today, allowing just a run on 3 hits and 3 walks in 6.2 innings for his 5th win of the season. Josh Thole and Ruben Tejada each got on base twice with a hit and walk, both continuing their red hot Mays. lf, rf Jesus Feliciano 2 for 4, 2b, BB, K, .375 2b Andy Green 0 for 5, K, [...]

Mets strike back with twelve hits against the Yanks and took game two of the Subway series, winning 5-3. Game Summary Possibly the most needed win so far this season. After losing the first game of the series to the Yankees in horrible fashion the Mets were able to pound out more than enough runs to beat the Yanks. Mike Pelfrey was able to give the Mets a great six inning start to the game. [...]

As my colleague Mike Lloyd informed us last night, Houston Astros ace Roy Oswalt has demanded a trade and will waive his no-trade clause to get something expedited. From the sound of it, this might be something that gets done very soon and will not linger on until the July trade deadline. I just wanted to weigh in and voice my own support for such a move by the Mets and I do hope that [...]

Last night’s 2-1 loss at the hands of the Yankees left such a sour taste in my mouth. Not so much for the loss, but more for what that game could have been and could have meant to the team and to the fans. With the team still mired in the cellar of the standings, what the Mets needed most was a feel good win… an inspirational victory that could kick start their collective confidence [...]

As you all are well aware the All-Star ballots are a joke.  We all know it is a popularity contest and more times then not, a more popular player will be chosen over a more deserving player.  In addition to being a mockery of the League’s best talent, it also reflects 1900 technology resorting to a preset roster established at the beginning of the season, typically resulting in players who have yet to have stepped [...]

How would we feel if we were told this by the Mets front office? It’s become very evident over the last several seasons our loyalty has been tested. This team and management has displayed a total lack of direction and focus. We fans have sat on the sidelines and continually pointed fingers and placed blame at everyone and everything. We have no swagger. We don’t play with confidence. We have no starting pitching. We have [...]

Hisanori Takahashi, making his first MLB start, delivered a solid outing but the Mets offense couldn’t buy a hit off of Yankees starter Javier Vazquez and took the loss 2-1. Game Notes Hisanori Takahashi couldn’t have done anything more impressive even if he tried today, stretching himself 6 innings, throwing 101 pitches with an absurd level of control. Takahashi struck out 5, gave up 5 hits and walked 1. The Yankees couldn’t put together multiple [...]

AAA International League: Buffalo 7/14/0, Charlotte 1/3/1 Ruben Tejada and Josh Thole continued their recent hot streak, with a combined 5 for 8 and 4 RBI. Thole had his first AAA homer amongst his 3 hits, and Tejada had 2 hits and 2 RBI, climbing back over .300. rf Jesus Feliciano 2 for 4, run, BB, .371 2b Russ Adams 2 for 5, 2 2b, RBI, K, .306 1b Mike Jacobs 1 for 5, 2 [...]

As the game moves along, I’m loving the pitching of a ‘professional’ pitcher like Hisanori Takahashi. In Fenway, Bay would have hit that ball out… I was on my laptop when AP sports alert came across that had a story from AP Sports reporter Kristie Rieken about Roy Oswalt and his agent officially requesting a trade from Houston. Oswalt also intimated he’d be willing to drop his no trade clause. Oswalt, who Omar Minaya once thought he’d [...]
