With all the news surrounding Jose Reyes and his incredible season that he is having, we often forget the main-man driving him in, Carlos Beltran. Beltran, after two injury-riddled seasons, was expected to have an above average season at best in 2011. But the 34-year old now right fielder has not only exceeded what anyone expected, but has been nearly the caliber of player as he was in his prime. Many predicted Beltran for 15-20 home runs and [...]

Game Summary True NL vs AL fashion here tonight. Sixteen runs scored for the Mets on twenty hits…and no homeruns. Tigers smashed in five over the fence. Totally different styles of scoring. Cap gets hit hard to end his good start streak. Bullpen is embarrassing, but offense can win ball games alone it seems like. Mets win 16-9. Game Notes Chris Capuano seems to love giving up the long ball, as he gave up three [...]

In his latest column, Jon Heyman of SI.com, surveyed a few baseball executives and player agents who each predicted what kind of a free agent deal Jose Reyes will get in the offseason. “I think he will beat Crawford,” said the executive who predicted $150 million over seven years. “He’s younger plus he plays an impact position. He’s one of the impactful players in the game right now.” But the executive who foresaw a $150 million deal for Reyes isn’t alone [...]

What a game and what a thrill it was to see the Mets deliver one knock-out blow after another to the AL Central leading Detroit Tigers last night. Until Jason Bay hit the first of two Mets grand slams in the game, the Mets had gone 299 games and 280 plate appearances with the bases loaded since their last grand slam. In that same span, Mets opponents had hit 18 grand slams, so the Mets [...]

Jose Reyes, made his 1,000th career game last night against the Detroit Tigers a memorable one. The game’s most dynamic player, went 4-for-4 at the plate with a walk and three runs scored. He was just a home run shy of hitting for the cycle; being the last Met to perform the feat. There is nothing Jose Reyes can’t do right now and even ESPN agreed last night when they called him the “undisputed MVP of the league” [...]

Buffalo Bisons 3 – Leigh Valley IronPigs 6 I expect Jack Egbert to be this ineffective, but what I don’t expect him to be is this wild. Egbert lasted for only 81 pitches tonight and only 45 of those were strikes (55%). He only gave up two walks, but with his stuff he needs to throw a considerable amount of more strikes. It is no shock or coincidence that both walks came back to bite [...]

Jason Bay & Carlos Beltran had grand slams in consecutive innings, and R.A. Dickey had another quality outing in the 14-3 blowout of the Detroit Tigers Game Notes R.A. Dickey came out today and seems had the luck on his side and was blessed with run support. Outside of that, R.A. went seven innings, allowing three runs on ten hits, including two home runs while walking three and striking out six. Dickey had some good [...]

We all know who Prince Fielder is.  He is a big guy with huge power.  He has also become one of baseball’s best power hitters, and has been a Met killer as well.  But could you imagine Prince Fielder as a New York Met? According to the New York Daily News, Cecil Fielder told Ebenezer Samuel that the Mets could very well end up signing his son Prince Fielder when he hits the free agent market.  [...]
