All season long so many of us have dissected in every which way possible, every move the New York Mets have made. Granted some of us have used hacksaws and some of us have used the precision of a neurosurgeon, to make our points. I’ve occasionally waded in both pools, admittedly. The way the Mets have played this year have at times been quite frustrating, however, as fellow MMO writer Ed Leyro pointed out the [...]

According to David Lennon of Newsday, the Mets have sent RHP Jenrry Mejia to Double-A Binghamton to continue his development as a starting pitcher. The Mets have yet to announce a corresponding move and have until tomorrow to do so. It looks like common sense has prevailed and Mejia can go do what he needs to do so that he can return as a starting pitcher. According to Adam Rubin, Mejia will start for the B-Mets [...]

I was about 6 years old when my father threatened to throw me out of the house. The reason was simple. I told him I was going to be a Yankees fan. It was the early 1970’s and I knew nothing about Baseball. But still, I was going to root for the Yankees. Why? As my dad watched the local news one night the sports came on. I was close by, doing whatever a typical [...]

The Mets have acquired outfielder Jorge Padilla from the Blue Jays, according to Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com (via Twitter). There’s no word on what Toronto will receive on the deal at this time. Padilla, 30, has a slash line of .330/.405/.459 with four homers for Toronto’s Triple A affiliate this season. He came to the plate 26 times with the Nationals last year, picking up just three singles and a walk. The Mets have assigned [...]

Dillon Gee bounced back very nicely off a rough outing his last time out, he gave up 2 runs (1 earned) over 6 innings. 2b Russ Adams 0 for 5, 2 Ks, .233 [...]

The Mets eight game winning streaked was snapped this afternoon as the Yankees beat up on Mike Pelfrey and handed the Mets a 5-3 loss in game two of the Subway series. Game Summary Mike Pelfrey did not continue his streak of great starts as he struggled early and often against the Yankees. He gave up five runs on seven hits and two homeruns in just the first four innings. Not the Pelfrey we are used [...]

May 21st… It feels like yesterday. The Mets were in last place (20-23) and losers of 10 out of 12 games. Much was being made of the teams struggles away from Citi Field from Beat writers, fans, and Bloggers alike. With two more games against the defending World Series champion New York Yankees remaining and a 3 game set with the defending NL champion Phillies on deck, the  road ahead looked bleak. Jerry Manuel and Omar Minaya might as well [...]

Did any of us think this would be possible some six weeks back? We’ve won eight straight, 12 of 13, and we just shut out our favorite team to hate in the Bronx! What a game! What performances! Gamesmanship, strategy, decision-making, fundamentals…concepts we only could have wished for last year at this time. Mets fans make no mistake: your 2010 Mets are cut from a very different cloth. We seem to be doing almost everything [...]

For the first time in 3 years, the Mets shutout the Yankees behind the great pitching of Hisanori Takahashi and the bats of Angel Pagan & Co. Game Recap Hisanori Takahashi went out today, and replicated his stellar performance against the Yankees, going 6 innings giving up 0 runs on 4 hits with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts.
