Tejada’s .322 batting average is the highest among all major league shortstops (min. 260 at-bats). Arizona’s Willie Bloomquist is second (.308). Tejada also has the highest on-base percentage (.366), percentage [...]

The very hot topic lately with the Metsmerized Nation, and with Mets fans in general, has been the future of the Metropolitans’ outfield, and more specifically, Jason Bay’s future with the team. Mike B noted in his post earlier that Sandy Alderson has stated that the Mets are not simply going to eat Bay’s contract and release him. This all but crushes many Mets fans dreams of a team without the automatic out that we [...]

With the news of Byrdak going down the door has opened for Josh Edgin to show his stuff. Edgin, 25, excelled for Triple-A Buffalo and as a result pitched his way onto the Major League roster as our second lefty. Now with Byrdak out he becomes the number one guy and has a chance to earn that spot for next season. Byrdak will be a free agent come years end and if the Mets decide [...]

Terry Collins told reporters after the game yesterday, that Jason Bay is now a platoon player in the outfield. His playing time will be dependent on who is on the mound. “We’re going to make some, certainly depending on who is on the mound, some adjustments out there,” Collins said. “We’ve got to get our left-handed bats in the lineup. Those guys have given us some good opportunities to win some games and they’re having [...]

The Binghamton Mets and New Britain Rock Cats played two on Tuesday night at NYSEG Stadium, with both teams taking one game of the doubleheader.  In game one, the B-Mets battled back from being down five to two to win nine to eight in walk off fashion.  Game two saw the Rock Cats score eight runs again, and this time the B-Mets were unable to come back as they dropped the nightcap by an eight [...]

St. Lucie 9, Palm Beach 1 Rafael Montero had a great day, exiting with a no-hitter and the St. Lucie offense came to play in the 9-1 drubbing of the Palm Beach Cardinals Key Players: Alonzo Harris – 4 for 4, 2 runs scored, 3 RBI, 1 home run, 1 double, 1 stolen base, 1 caught stealing/picked off Cesar Puello – 3 for 4, 2 runs, 2 stolen bases, 2 double, 1 RBI, 1 strikeout [...]

In all the drama, the peaks and valleys throughout this season, most of us have forgotten about Mike Pelfrey, and the fact that he is entering his final year of arbitration coming off Tommy John Surgery. We’ve seen the roller coaster career of Pelfrey, and now it has reached the point where his time with the Mets is in severe jeopardy, and rightfully so. Pelfrey is making $5.68 million for a season in which he made [...]

The Mets (53-57) lost to the Marlins (50-60) by the score of 4-2 tonight at Citi Field. It feels like this team is just without energy. I can not explain how or why but it just feels like a different team. The fight was once a fight for the wild-card … and now it is a fight to hit .500 again. I feel like every loss I write a recap for ends up feeling like a [...]
