Today I envy anyone who is actually going to the ball park – it’s a great baseball day and there will be an excitement felt in this ball park that hasn’t been there before. Yes, the guys on the field – although it’s a mixed group, some veterans and some new guys – there is a sense of a new group, and new ways of doing things for this team. Sandy and Terry have certainly [...]

Jonathon Niese & the Mets pitching staff was mauled today, and the offense struggled to get a rhythm against Roy Halladay and the Mets lost the game 11-0. Game Notes Jonathon Niese had a bad outing today. Jonathon was hit, and hit consistently. He gave up six runs on eight hits in four innings, walking one and striking out seven. It wasn’t one big hit that seemed to get Jonathon in trouble, but all of [...]

Prior to returning home for the 50th Opening Day in team history, our guys were down in Philadelphia for the first head to competition of the season against Eastern Division rivals, the Phillies. The Phillies won two of the three games, and the Mets return to Citifield 3-3 (did anyone really expect anything better). He are my 3 Ups and 3 Downs from this series. Three Up 1. Chris Young: Young pitched the series opener [...]

Some good news from Port St. Lucie where 2010 first-round pick Matt Harvey made his professional debut on Thursday evening. After a shaky start most likely from jitters, Harvey went on to pitch a solid game as the St. Lucie Mets defeated the Palm Beach Cardinals 1-0. Harvey struck out nine and scattered five hits over five shutout innings. “It was definitely good to get out there and throw,” Harvey said. “I was happy to be [...]

Last night, our very own Ben Yoel tweeted this as the Mets went on to lose to the Phils 10-7…. I could care less the Mets didn’t win the game last night. They showed that they have fight and can come back from early deficits. I totally agree with Ben’s statement. Even when the Mets were down, they kept hitting, and they kept scoring. It could be that hitting coach Dave Hudgens is having a positive effect [...]

Mike Pelfrey is entering his sixth season with the Mets, compiling a 43-41 record over his first five seasons in New York (43-42 after his Opening Day loss to the Florida Marlins). Although Pelfrey is just 27 years old, there have been only 17 pitchers in franchise history who have won more games than Big Pelf. More than likely, Pelfrey will continue to move up the all-time wins leaderboard as his career progresses, but how [...]

The Mets have  announced that right-handed reliever Manny Acosta has cleared waivers, and will be assigned to Triple-A Buffalo. With Pat Misch also clearing waivers a week earlier, the Mets manage to hang on to two relievers that will give their bullpen some depth in the minors in case somebody falters or is injured. Another well played hand by Sandy Alderson and his gang.
