Joel Sherman of the NY Post has a rough take on where the Mets are and even says it’s okay for some Mets fans to be delusional about the Mets chances this year. Thanks Joel. He also discusses some of the potential trade options for the Mets and of course it’s the same usual suspects; Jose Reyes, Frankie Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran. However, for those that say the Mets would get very little for Beltran or [...]

The Mets won the final game of the three game weekend series in Philadelphia early Monday morning, by the score of 2-1 in 14 innings. It was a night to remember as we all learned that our troops had finally discovered the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden and killed him. The crowd at Citizens Bank Park which was filled with Mets fans as well as Philly fans were united and together they all burst into a chant [...]

I stayed up very late with the Mets last night, but they went into extra innings and I went to sleep. I missed the biggest news in a long time – the raid on Osama Bin Laden’s hideaway house with all killed including him. Special forces buried him in the ocean so no one could find him. Not sure how much of a reaction this will make, but he was more of a symbol than [...]

So last’s week POTW caused a bit of a stir, much to my amusement, and It’s good to see how many people pay attention to my choice for the week. But outside of baseball, today is a great day for Americans. Although the Mets pulled off an extra innings victory last night, America won as well – with the death of Osama Bin Laden. I am sure I do not need to tell you what [...]

On the morning after President Obama ordered US Forces to attack and kill 9/11 mastermind, terrorist Osama Bin Laden, it’s hard to focus on anything Mets. The emotions still run too deep. We are all so joyed and relieved that justice has been done, but it also brings back the memories of how it all began. I found a wonderful video on MLB.com that does a nice job of retelling those tragic events and how they led up [...]

A combination of Chris Young and the bullpen held the Phillies to one run in fourteen innings, and Ronny Paulino made a big Mets debut, including the game winning hit and the Mets won the game in the fourteenth inning, 2-1. Game Notes Chris Young was lights out today, going seven quality innings while giving up two hits, walking three, striking out seven and allowing ZERO runs. What is more amazing is most columnists/bloggers figured [...]

Last night before the game, former Mets manager and new ESPN Sunday Night Analyst Bobby Valentine met with Mets shortstop Jose Reyes. They exchanged greetings, talked, and Valentine kissed the back of his hand. According to David Waldstein of the NY Times, Valentine then came away with a huge smile, and said, “And by the way, in case anyone asks, I made him into a switch-hitter.” Valentine brought Reyes, who spoke little English, and the bilingual coach [...]

“To get through 14 innings and only give up one run, that’s a credit to the whole pitching staff. I’m just glad I could help. … It took so long for this to happen, but now it seems like it was for a reason. It’s an unbelievable feeling to have gone through so much to get to this point and then have a game like this.” With chants of “USA, USA” raining down on the [...]
