It would have been nice to end the season with one more win today, but I think we all saw the writing on the wall the second we saw Oliver Perez emerge from the bullpen gate. Still, I am very proud of the many accomplishments that so many of our players made this season, especially all the young ones. We’ve made some great strides in our minor league system and I expect we’ll see even [...]

Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, gives us the final numbers on how the Mets fared in attendance in only the second season of their new park, Citi Field. The Mets announced a final-game attendance of 30,849. That makes the season total: 2,559,738. Because there were two single-admission doubleheaders and technically 79 home dates, the average attendance was 32,402. Despite 92 losses in 2009, their inaugural season at Citi Field, the Mets announced a total [...]

Well, Mets fans, we did it. We endured another long season of Mets baseball, only to see our boys play to an 79-83 record (fourth in the NL East) and miss the playoffs for the fourth straight year. Though we will now turn our attention to football, hockey, or basketball, let’s take a look at some of the memorable moments of this season. The Mets looked great on opening day with Johan Santana leading the [...]

With the final game of the regular 2010 season approaching us, I think it’s only fair to give credit where credit is due. Though the end result is just as disappointing no matter how you slice it, this year’s Mets team did do something different in the way of sparing our feelings. This time, they did not wait until the last week of the season to choke.  Nope.  Instead, they decided to just completely shut [...]

One of the first decisions the new Mets GM will have to make, is to decide whether he will simply let lefty specialist Pedro Feliciano walk and become a free agent, sign him to a multi year deal, or offer him arbitration. “Perpetual Pedro” is quite possibly one of the most reliable and durable relievers in the game today. In fact, there’s no other reliever that comes even close to equaling him in terms of volume of work. The [...]

In the National League this year, many rookies have come out of the gates to have phenomenal years. Starlin Castro, Gaby Sanchez, Pedro Alvarez, Buster Posey, Jason Heyward and the Mets own Ike Davis. To prove my case, I’m gonna debunk all the other contestants. Starlin Castro has hit for absolutely no power, but has the highest batting average. He has also committed 27 errors at shortstop, and despite his average only scored 51 runs. [...]

The Mets play their final game of the 2010 season today, and I can’t help but feel sad that after today there will be no more Mets games, box scores, etc for another few months, but such is the baseball season. Anyway, the Mets will go for their 80th win of the season today and try to end their 2010 campaign on a three game sweep. Other stories to keep a watch on today is [...]

Updated 1:00 PM As I suspected… [tweeted]http://twitter.com/DPLennon/status/26275492915[/tweeted] Original Post 10:55 PM The following blurb appeared in the Greenwich Times as posted on MetsBlog. Stamford resident and ESPN analyst Bobby Valentine was seen having dinner with New York Mets owner and Greenwich resident Jeff Wilpon, Mets General Manager Omar Minaya and Mets minor league manager and former Met Wally Backman at Quattro Pazzi in Stamford on Sept. 23. Matt Cerrone further reports that “people close to [...]

Personally, I’d like him back in the same role next season, but I have to wonder. Takahashi is a free agent this winter and wants to be a starter, and those starts against the Yankees and Phillies only reinforce that thought in his mind. His numbers are superior coming out of the bullpen than as a starter. However, they are representative numbers that could improve if he worked at that role. He gave the Mets [...]

According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Mets may be looking beyond their borders to replace outgoing general manager, Omar Minaya. The Mets are planning to go outside the organization for the GM position and are thought to be considering several people, including former Diamondbacks GM Josh Byrnes, White Sox assistant GM Rick Hahn and former A’s GM Sandy Alderson. As first reported in Friday’s Daily News, the Mets will meet with Omar Minaya and Jerry [...]
