Here is a photo of the Ike Davis Bobblehead that will be given out on Sunday, July 19 in a game versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Very cool.

Here are a couple of quotes from Paul DePodesta from Adam Rubin of ESPN NY. You can read the whole interview at ESPN. Regarding this year’s Draft Class: “We’re excited about it. We think it’s a pretty deep draft — not necessarily in every category, but in general. There are definitely some good top-end players. There’s no doubt. We’re going to have a good choice at 13. I think we’re going to have at least [...]

I’ll cut to the chase. Something I’ve been thinking about recently and that I’ve mentioned a few times to friends lately is that the Mets really don’t have a real cleanup hitter. We play in a ball park that is quite obviously pitcher friendly and it can very well sap a few runs from any team playing there. Since the Mets haven’t loaded up on gap hitters that play to Citi Field (which isn’t too [...]

The Mets look to continue their hitting and pitching ways tonight as they start a six game road trip in DC. The last time these two teams met in New York, the Nationals were able to squeak out 2 of 3, and then things started to fall apart for the Amazins. The Mets look to get some revenge behind the first start Young will have off of the disabled list, as he goes against Jordan [...]

With Chris Young coming off the DL, the Mets have decided to opt D.J. Carrasco down to Triple-A and to place Dillon Gee in the bullpen. This move is not only endangering the further development of Gee as a pitcher, but also takes a great pitcher out of the rotation. What does not makes sense is why take Gee out of the rotation when Chris Capuano has a 5.95 ERA this season. Gee in two starts this season has [...]

Here is some additional new info from hittracker.com courtesy of metsblog.com that sheds more light on my post from a few days ago. The Citi Field has averaged 2.27 home runs per game so far this season which ranks third highest in the National League. Ironically, Citizens Bank Park has one of the lowest home run rates at 1.36. This could be just a fluke, and why you should never rely heavily on small sample sizes. Matt [...]

With Spring Break over and the destruction of the bullpen mascot, the Mets have been looking to get themselves on track for the following season. Going 4-2 over a six game stretch is pretty good and the team seems to have woken up a little. However, when the dust clears on the week, we are still in last place and we’ve got a ways to go. But hey, things are looking up! My choice for [...]

According to Forbes Magazine, the Mets currently operate in violation of baseball’s debt rules: “Insiders attribute the lack of oversight to the laissez-faire culture of MLB executives and the independence and fiscal feistiness of team owners. Others are more cynical and say that as long as you toe the line with Selig, supporting his revenue-sharing plans and labor negotiations, you get what amounts to a free pass when it comes to oversight of your business [...]
