In the Jerry Bruckheimer film, ‘The Rock,’ John Patrick Mason turned to Stanley Goodspeed and uttered a classic movie line: “Your best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and get a World Series ring.” No…wait, that wasn’t it. But this website is suitable for all ages. (I pause now so we can all do our own personal Sean Connery impression.) As another Mets season comes to an August close yet again, the excuses [...]

The Mets got clobbered by the Philadelphia Phillies 10-0 tonight in what I would call was the ugliest loss of the season by far. They have now gone 5-16 in their last 21 games and are in their worst strecth since their 5-13 start to begin the season. They are in a deep funk and continue to slide deeper and deeper into baseball oblivion. Dillon Gee was torched for eight runs and six walks in 3.2 innings pitched; the [...]

According to Andy Martino of the Daily News, Terry Collins and unidentified team officials asked Mike Pelfrey if he would consider being converted to a closer. “Would you be willing to be the closer next year?” Terry Collins asked the pitcher, according to someone who was briefed on, but did not witness or participate in, the conversation. “Absolutely,” Pelfrey responded. Martino goes on to say that any chance of this happening is “highly unlikely” because [...]

This week, we share our opposing views on whether the Mets should re-sign Jose Reyes or just cut the cord and move on from him already. Delcos On Reyes – Lets Move On From Him Already In an ideal world, Jose Reyes would stay healthy, be running free [...]

Obviously I wasn’t in the loop about this contest, but here’s my favorite band Seether, rocking out to the ESPN Baseball Tonight theme song. According to ESPN, the shows producers have enlisted the help of notable musicians to provide their distinctive interpretations of the “Baseball Tonight” theme song during the 2011 season. They have already featured these versions of the song on air and in the ESPN Music section, but now it’s time to vote for the [...]

Dillon Gee took New York by storm, coming up in April as an injury replacement. He started twice, had three relief appearances, the joined the rotation for good on May 7th. Over his first 10 starts (13 games), Gee was 7-0 with a 2.86 ERA, and talks of a Rookie of the Year run began. Gee was pitching some great baseball, with only a 3 BB/9 ratio and 6.7 strikeouts per nine innings (a 2.23 [...]

 Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story’s too damn real and in the present tense? Or that everybody’s on the stage, and it seems like you’re the only person sitting in the audience?  ~ Jethro Tull Saturday night’s 11-9 defeat was certainly not for the faint of heart, and while most of the rancor was directed at Jason Isringhausen, lets not forget it was starter Chris Capuano who allowed the Brewers’ first [...]

Stop the presses - we got a playoff hunt on our hands! A real live pennant race, Mets fans, right here in NYC! No, not the Mets of course, but the next best thing… There is a Cyclone Warning for the five boroughs! As recently as two weeks ago the Brooklyn Cyclones were scratching and clawing, and trying to contend for a wild-card berth in the NY Penn League Playoffs. But lo and behold, the seemingly unstoppable Staten [...]
