Jon Heyman of SI.com, named 31 players he believes could end up hitting the waiver wires and potentially get dealt before the August 31st waiver deadline. Carlos Beltran was just one of four Mets players he listed: Ollie Perez, Mets SP. The Mets offered him around but there were no takers. They’d like him to go to the minors but he is said to not want to return after spending more than a month down there already [...]

Mets start their six game road trip against two division rivals with a 4-1 loss against the Braves. The Mets just seemed to give up during the game, with the exception of Santana who got better as the game went on. There was, once again, no offense to help Santana who had a decent outing despite a rough first inning. The defense just seemed like they couldn’t bother to give it their best either. Many [...]

Are we banking on August to make the playoffs? I’m glad one of my fellow bloggers beat me to the punch. No way was I going to list all the teams’ new acquisitions and dredge up all the angst that I had pent up inside of me. Saying that this franchise was handcuffed by the Madoff debacle is not enough to justify what this is. I held out hope at 3:59:45 that they would get [...]

Let me start by saying that I’m not hanging yesterday’s loss on Oliver Perez. The game was lost and completely out of hand long before he took the hill in the eighth inning. In fact that’s why he came into the game… The only time we see Ollie now, is when a win becomes as improbable and remote as a Jeff Francoeur 10 game hitting streak. This is what Perez has been reduced to… pure nothingness… [...]

Starting tonight, the Mets begin a very critical road trip featuring two 3-game series against their two chief division rivals; the Philadelphia Phillies and the Atlanta Braves. The next seven days will be a “make or break” period for the team and could determine their ultimate fate at the end of the season. It was expected that after their last disastrous 2-9 west coast road trip, that the Mets would get themselves back on track [...]

Mets still having trouble winning back-to-back games as they get killed by the Arizona Diamondbacks again, losing 14-1. The Mets were finally able to beat the D-Backs yesterday but the story was different today as the pitching, offense, and defense were all missing today. Once again the Mets make a pitcher they have never seen before, look like an ace. They have been doing this all season. The Mets just can’t seem to beat the [...]

The Apologists and those looking for the silver lining in the clouds a day after the non-waiver trading deadline have all had there say. I’ve seen Matt Cerrone over on Metsblog say the Mets did the right thing. I’ve seen a few writers here comment and suggest that no one move would have put us over the top, or brought us a post season berth, Conjecture on some of the media’s part is that the [...]
