Savannah 2, Delmarva 0 By Pete Shapiro Logan Verrett is back, he’s all the way back. After missing time on the D.L. earlier this year with arm troubles, he dominated Delmarva last night throwing his first professional complete-game shutout, and in doing so helped Savannah defeat the Shorebirds by a score of 2-0. Verrett (3-2, 2.84) simply got stronger as the night went on saving his best for last. His fielders could have stayed in the dugout [...]

It had taken 8020 games but it finally happened. When David Freese swung and missed at a 3-2 change-up from Johan Santana, the Mets accomplished something we wondered if we’d ever get to see: A No-Hitter by one of our own. Be it ESPN, MLB Network, SNY or any local newspaper, the underlying theme was the same: For a team that has had great pitchers like Seaver, Koosman, Ryan and Gooden, it’s hard to believe [...]

Mike Puma of the NY Post reported that Mets prospect Matt Harvey is “not a consideration” for now to replace the injured Dillon Gee, but that the door is being left open for a promotion later in the season. Okay, sounds cool, logic and sanity prevails… Now who does replace Dillon Gee? The possibilities are endless… Not really… Get well soon Dillon, out prayers and thoughts are with you. Original Post 12:00 PM Dillon Gee was hospitalized [...]

Ramblings From Henry and Fayette Streets The Week That Was: July 2nd – July 9th  The Binghamton Mets record in the week preceeding the mid-season break sent them into their mini-vacation on a positive note.  They ended their season long losing streak on Tuesday the third with a 3-2 win over the Altoona Curve, and all told went 5-and-3 on the week.  After their win on Tuesday, the B-Mets traveled to Richmond for their only series [...]

The first half of the 2012 season is over and much to the pleasure of fans everywhere, the Mets are six games above .500 and surpassing most of the expectations set for them this season.

The talented young outfielder is only 24, but there’s a compelling case to be made on both sides of the debate, and the choice is not as easy as it may seem. Consider both [...]
