There seriously must be something brewing in the New York water supply and it’s having a mind numbing, logic nullifying, neuron destroying effect on it’s resident billionaires. How else can you explain the actions- or non-actions- of New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon to not right his sinking ship by tossing General Manager Omar Minaya and Manager Jerry Manuel overboard at this point? Or Knicks owner James Dolan for his quizzical attempt to re-hire former [...]

I’ve been spending this weekend working on a new theme with our graphic designer Kelly. The theme we had previously was becoming very slow due to incompatibility issues with the latest version of WordPress. It was also putting a tremendous strain on our server at great expense, forcing us to find a more efficient theme that was compatible and also quick to load. With over 3 million hits per month for MMO and growing, the days of [...]

The Mets try to take the rubber game and the series tonight as they play the Sunday Night game against the Phillies. The first game featured fantastic pitching for the Amazin’s as the edged the Phillies by the score 1-0 (continuing to frustrate Hammels). Then last night’s game was overshadowed by defensive miscues and the continued anemic offense. The Mets send out Pelfrey in the hope that he battles back Kendrick and the Phils. Pelfrey [...]

AAA International League: Buffalo 4/10/0, Pawtucket 6/9/0 Michael Antonini got crushed for 6 runs on 9 hits in 6 innings to take the loss, and the prospecty middle of the Bisons order were just 3 for 12 to night with 4 strikeouts and no walks, a far cry from last night’s showing. Kirk Nieuwenhuis took an 0-fer with the Silver Sombrero (3 Ks, lol). rf Jesus Feliciano 1 for 5, .342 2b Justin Turner 3 [...]

Mets couldn’t keep the win streak going as they lose game two against the Phillies, 4-0. The Mets held the Phillies to 38 scoreless innings in Citi Field but that was snapped in the third inning. Pat Misch pitched well in his first start with the Mets on the season. The bullpen was great. The offense was not there. And neither was the defense as three errors on the night cost the Mets three runs. [...]

Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, reminds us that Mets 2010 first-round pick Matt Harvey has yet to agree to a contract and that time is running out. The Mets and first-round pick Matt Harvey, a right-hander from the University of North Carolina, have yet to reach agreement on a signing bonus. A team official indicated the negotiations likely will go to the midnight deadline Monday night/Tuesday morning. With Scott Boras representing Harvey, I don’t [...]

It never fails with the Mets. Just as I had given up on the season after that debacle of a game against the Rockies Wednesday night (followed by the K-Rod meltdown), which if won would now have the team on a 4-game win streak, Johan and the Dickster hurl incredible gems to pull me back in. But how can you have time to enjoy R.A.’s almost no-hitter last night when you wake up on Saturday [...]

R.A. Dickey was masterful, allowing ONE HIT all game and giving the Mets their second straight shutout in a row. Game Notes As Joe D mentioned in his post, Dickey was OUTSTANDING. Dickey allowed one hit over nine innings, walking one and striking out seven. Dickey was never in trouble, and minus one walk got through most innings with limited pitches, including three innings of exactly nine pitches. Its ironic that the only hit Dickey [...]

AAA International League: Buffalo 9/12/1, Pawtucket 4/11/1 The prospecty middle of the Bisons order (Lucas Duda, Nick Evans, and Kirk Nieuwenhuis) went a combined 5 for 12 with 3 runs, a double, 2 homers and all 9 RBI, along with 3 walks and just one strikeout. Dillon Gee gave up 3 runs over 5 innings to pick up his 12th win, and he’s 1 strikeout shy of the modern day Bisons K record. lf Jesus [...]
