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 [...]

Jorge Castillo of the NY Times had an interesting piece that talks about the shrinking Mets fan presence at Citizens Bank Park. The numbers have dropped dramatically he says, “a notable transformation from just a few years ago when the two franchises were National League contenders and the rivalry was one of the sport’s best.” Al Gallo, who grew up a Mets fan in northern New Jersey, tries to catch as many Mets games as possible from [...]

To support the growth of youth baseball and softball, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund (BTF) has teamed up with Major League Baseball Clubs to organize equipment collection drives across the United States.

According to Troy Renck of the Denver Post, the Colorado Rockies were one of many teams that put a waiver claim on Mets’ third baseman David Wright. It’s unclear who was awarded the claim, but the Mets have made it known that they aren’t trading Wright.

There’s really nothing worse than a meaningless September. That’s probably how most fans of other teams feel, but for me a meaningless September in New York right now is about the worst thing you can possibly have. K-Rod & Beltran I don’t want to hear excuses about K-Rod or Beltran being traded. I am sorry they had to go, it would have been great if they were a part of a championship team, but the [...]

After another humiliating loss last night at the hands of the Philthies, I can’t help but wonder what exactly to make out of this season for the Mets. The Debbie Downers who said all along that the Mets were not even a .500 team, are gloating right now.
