Dan Martin of the New York Post, is reporting that GM Sandy Alderson will consider Jose Reyes’ health, injury and future playing time during their negotiations after the season. Well, I would certainly hope so. That’s kind of the guy’s job, don’t ya think? In the same article he quotes Alderson and Wright who weighed in on sticking to the plan and not veering off course because of what the fans or the media think. “We want to [...]

Ever since the 2004 major league season ended, the Mets have been without one particular commodity, a “super-utility” player. On March 17th, 2005 the Mets released #11, Joe McEwing, and in so doing, ended an era, the “age of Super Joe”. McEwing only played five seasons with the Mets, but during that time, he quickly became appreciated by Mets fans everywhere. His offensive stats were pedestrian, but his play was described as “hard-nosed”. If you [...]

Earlier today, my colleague at MMO, Jason Pafundi, wrote an interesting piece on why the Mets should consider trading David Wright.  Jason is not the first person on this site or on other sites to explore this topic.  The trading of the Mets’ third baseman is a topic that can be argued for days on end, and people on both sides can present valid points to defend their respective arguments. But I’m not here to [...]

There’s a reason why I still watch every Mets game. Even though many would agree that for all intents and purposes the Mets’ 2011 season is certifiably over, I still watch every game. I learned how important it was to watch every Mets game going all the way back to the time I saw Steve Henderson take Giants reliever Allen Ripley deep in the summer of 1980 – a season in which we lost 95 [...]

I say this with the utmost understanding that this isn’t going to be a very popular piece of writing, but it’s something I really believe.  The time has come for the Mets to trade David Wright, and I have a couple of reasons why I feel this way. First, it’s my belief that based on finances, with Wright owed $15 million in 2012 and with a team option for $16 million in 2013, that the [...]

Mets first round pick OF Brandon Nimmo had the best game of his professional career today.  Nimmo went 3 for 3, with a three-run homer and 2 walks with the GCL Mets. In his first 7 games as a pro, Nimmo is batting .241 with 2 HR’s and 4 RBI’s (according to MILB.com).

METS POSTPONE GAMES SATURDAY AND SUNDAY BOTH GAMES RESCHEDULED AS A SINGLE-ADMISSION DOUBLEHEADER THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 STARTING AT 4:10 P.M. Complete Ticketing Info at Mets.com or by Phone at (718) 507-TIXX FLUSHING, N.Y., August 26, 2011 – Following the emergency planning and early mass transit shutdown announced by Mayor Bloomberg in anticipation of Hurricane Irene, the New York Mets today announced the postponement of their games against the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field tomorrow, Saturday, [...]

With hurricane Irene bearing down on the New York area, the Mets have postponed the next two games of the Braves series, leaving us without baseball for a few days. It’s gotten me to thinking about the “old” days, and old times. Most of you will probably remember the things I’ll be mentioning below (and please feel free to add on), while some of “you kids at home” may be learning something new. We all [...]

Chris Capuano had by far his best outing of the season, and possibly the best outing for a Mets starter in their 6-0 win against the Braves Game Notes Chris Capuano was lights out from the jump, and the Braves couldn’t put anything together against Cap. Capuano had a complete game shutout, giving up two hits, walking none and striking out thirteen. Capuano’s changeup was absolutely filthy, and his cutter and fastball were painting corners [...]
