On an almost perfect night weather wise for baseball at NYSEG Stadium the Binghamton Mets took game two of their series against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats by a score of one to nothing.  It was the first time in nineteen games between the two teams that the B-Mets defense was able to hold New Hampshire off of the scoreboard. Greg Peavey got the call for the B-Mets, his 23rd start of the season for [...]

Despite four consecutive years of bad baseball, I think most of us can agree that some things are more frustrating than losses.  What I’m talking about is insult to injury.  Its having your fandom dragged through the proverbial mud as a result of not just the team’s performance on the field, but their disastrous attempt at public relations off of it. Some highlights of the franchise’s ineptitude in recent years… There was Omar Minaya’s claim [...]

Fans of the Rocky movies know what I am referring to. After being retired for years, Rocky was asked why he was returning to the ring in the last Rocky installment, his response was “there’s still some stuff in the basement.” In other words, he couldn’t move on with his life until the fire burning inside him was completely out. That is the fire of competition, which all athletes have burning inside them. It causes [...]

The Mets (57-65) lost to the Rockies (47-73) by the score of 6-2 on Tuesday evening at Citi Field. “This was the worst ball game the Mets have played all year – fundamentally.” – Keith Hernandez That sums it up for you. Do you really want to read on? Well, alright, your pending high blood pressure. Chris Young started for the Mets and kept them in the game. He pitched the first five innings without allowing [...]

Updated Post 10:45 PM The Mets have added Triple-A starting pitcher Collin McHugh to their taxi squad for Thursday in the event Johan Santana is unable to make his scheduled start. The Mets have received the results of the MRI on Johan Santana’s back, but said they will not announce the results until Wednesday morning. It looks like Collin gets the nod over Mejia if the news on Santana is bad… Original Post 4:30 PM [...]

I received this interesting question yesterday from one of our readers, USMF. I have an idea on what to do with Santana next year and thought it could be a good debate question for the MMO staff. Seeing Johan’s recent struggles, I was wondering about moving Santana into the Closers Role next year similar to what the Braves did with John Smoltz. We know the pen has tons of problems, especially in the closers position and i don’t see [...]

Although the Bisons scored five runs and had ten hits, Buffalo went 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position as they were defeated by Scranton Wilkes Barre Monday night 7-5. In the top of the 2nd inning, Buffalo took an early lead with a two-run homer by Matt Tuiasosopo but let up a run in the 2nd, one in the 4th, two in the 5th, 2 in the 6th, and one in the eighth, which was [...]

Everybody knows the Mets need some serious help on the big league roster right? I think their problems go beyond just the roster, and I think now is the time to start fixing those problems. For the last two years, I’ve taken it easy on the Mets and their front office. Mostly because I feel none of us have any idea what the real story was as to the depths of the financial nightmare that [...]
