According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, the Mets and the Marlins discussed a trade that would have sent Jason Bay to Miami for Heath Bell and John Buck before the trade deadline. Basically it’s a swap of bad contracts and underperforming players. Bell is 2-5 this season with a 5.66 ERA 41 1/3 innings pitched. He’s allowed 45 hits, 23 walks and struck out36 batters. Buck is batting .168 with a .287 on-base percentage [...]

July was a terrible month for Mets fans. After exiting the All Star break primed for a post season run, the season has spiraled out of control. Poor pitching, compounded by poorer execution at the plate and shotty defense have seen the Mets post season dreams, along with those of fans, shattered in short order.

Matt Harvey gave up three runs, only two earned, on four hits, three walks and seven strike outs in six innings pitched. After loading the bases in the second inning with nobody out, I [...]

What is the one thing aside from Jason Bay that really gets Mets fans in an uproar?  All the Mets fans are screaming “the bullpen!!!”  Well Mets fans, I have figured out what the Mets have to do to get this bullpen back on its feet. There is only one player that can save the Mets bullpen and bring us back to the glory and dominance that was experienced in the mid 1980s.  The following [...]
