Baseball America Prospect Hot Sheet The Mets had two players appear on Baseball America’s latest Prospect Hot Sheet: Matt Harvey threw seven scoreless innings against Dunedin on Friday while allowing just three hits and establishing a career high with 10 strikeouts. He followed that with nine-strikeout effort against Clearwater. That’s all in a week’s work for Harvey, who in 59 innings has struck out 71 batters to rank third in the Florida State League. His sparkling [...]

Sandy Alderson was the bearer of bad news tonight after the Mets 6-3 loss to the Braves. The Mets GM announced that third baseman David Wright will be shutdown from all baseball activities for three more weeks. Alderson said Wright was seen at the Hospital for Special Surgery today, but there were no x-rays or further diagnostic tests performed as was initially reported all week long. Wright will have more diagnostic tests performed after the [...]

Jonathon Niese had a great start, but the bullpen collapsed YET AGAIN and the Mets lost against the Braves, 6-3 Game Notes Jonathon Niese pitched a great game, going seven and two-third innings giving up two runs on eight hits striking out seven and walking one. Niese had everything working today, and with most Mets starters recently, the gas seemed to be running low in the eighth inning. What that has meant usually, is exactly [...]

Carlos Beltran is at it again. He continues to go out of his way to say and do the wrong things, and this time he completely crossed the line and may have gone to far. Mike Sielski of the Wall Street Journal, explains this latest Beltran fiasco. Apparently, Terry Collins intended to give Beltran a day off to try an give his right fielder a much needed break. Selfish as always, Beltran declined saying: “I prefer to [...]

DON’T TRADE JOSE REYES DAY! FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM CITI FIELD, FLUSHING, NEW YORK Today is “Don’t Trade Jose Reyes Day” at Citi Field. What started out as a cool idea by lifelong Mets fan Donna Bauer, has evolved into a big time event that will feature thousands of fans who will be rallying support and sending a message to the Mets front office to keep Jose Reyes a New York Met [...]

David Wright is expected to have another X-Ray taken on his back today. Obviously, there’s no timetable for him, and there won’t be until the tests are completed. It bothers me it took so long for him to be diagnosed with the stress fracture. Blame him for putting the tests off and the Mets for not being insistent. There’s no reason why he played another month in discomfort. Meanwhile, Wright reportedly has spoken with owner [...]

The New York Mets today announced the team has selected the contract of righthanded pitcher Manny Acosta from Buffalo (AAA) of the International League. Acosta will wear uniform #36 and will be available for tonight’s game vs. Atlanta. After yesterday’s game, the Mets optioned lefthanded pitcher Mike O’Connor to Buffalo. In order to make room on the 40-man roster, the Mets transferred righthanded pitcher Chris Young to the 60-Day Disabled List. Acosta, 30, was 1-0 [...]

One day after manager Terry Collins tore into his team for a lack of execution and performance, the Mets responded by rallying back from a 7-0 deficit to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-8. It was the biggest comebak win for the Mets since June 30, 2000 against the Atlanta Braves. Wow! Recap to come… Original Post 1:00 AM Here are some of the quotes from Terry Collins who was completely livid after last night’s 9-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. [...]

December 12th, 1984, the Mets acquired one of their best players to ever grace our presence in Flushing. Immediately, the fanbase was ecstatic over the acquisition, but in the coming years, Carter would prove to be one of the greatest Mets of all time. In only a mere five seasons, most of the fifth spent on the DL, Carter with his child-like exuberance and play, found a special place in every person’s heart that calls [...]

The easy thing to do would be credit this afternoon’s startling comeback on Terry Collins’ blistering rant last night. Maybe Collins shamed them somewhat, but it didn’t seem that way from the outset when Mike Pelfrey gave it up early. I think falling behind 7-0 had more to do with sparking the Mets than anything Collins said last night. When you’re a professional athlete, sometimes it takes being pushed around to catch your attention, and [...]

For the New York Mets, depth was a major issue heading into the season. Like in 2009, the injury bug has plagued the team, only earlier this year than anyone expected. However, the Mets have received timely contributions from several players who originally didn’t factor too much into the team’s plans for this season. Here are five Mets who have been great finds after starting the year in the minors. 5. Jason Pridie Jason Pridie [...]
