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 [...]

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 [...]

When the 2009 season ended amid all that drama and all those injuries it left such a terrible taste in my mouth. We were predicted by many to be the World Series favorites that season, but nobody saw the disaster that was lurking around the bend. One of Omar Minaya’s favorite pastimes when he was GM, was to ease our pain every offseason with a big-splash signing. Although the good feelings and overall impact of [...]

Well the wave of rookie phenoms that raided the show in 2010 have proven to be no exception to the curse of the sophomore slump. Through injury and just pure regression, the young ballplayers in their second year in the show have failed to build on their promising rookie campaigns. Just look at 2010 NL Rookie Of The Year recipient, Buster Posey. Posey led his team to a World Championship in his first season in the majors, batting [...]

Just when you think that Lenny Dykstra has hit rock bottom, he grabs a shovel. According to CNN, the former Met has been charged with exposing himself to women he lured through Craigslist. The charges accuse Dykstra of “placing ads on Craigslist requesting a personal assistant or housekeeping services. The victims allege when they arrive, they were informed that the job also requires massage service and then he (Dykstra) would disrobe and he would expose himself.” This just [...]
