Curious? Yes I am bringing this up because I am tired of talking about the players too. Here it is so simply a child can understand it: People placed in power are afraid of their higher-ups. Did you catch that? No? I’ll say it again for you: People placed in power are afraid of their higher-ups. Why? Well think about it. A lot has happened over the past few days, other than the Oliver Perez [...]

The Sunday afternoon game between the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies has been postponed due to inclement weather. No makeup date has been announced.

Buffalo 4, Louisville 1 Brandon Knight had an outstanding start this afternoon, firing 7 innings of 5 hit shutout ball as the Bisons won for the 2nd time in 3 games, 4-1 over the Bats. Fernando Martinez had another huge day with 3 hits, including his 10th double and 3rd homer. Martinez has raised his average 54 points in the last 4 games (going 8 for 14 with 2 2b, 2 HR and 5 RBI [...]

Buffalo 5, Louisville 1 – Game 1 Oh. My. God. They winned. Dillon Gee, after seeing what happened to Jon Niese yesterday, took it upon himself to beat the Bats today, tossing a 7 inning CG for his first win of the season. Gee allowed a run on 6 hits, throwing 91 pitches for the minors first CG (of course, it gets a * being a 7 inning one). The offense was led by Fernando [...]

Carlos Delgado will not be in the lineup Friday night as the Mets take on the Philadelphia Phillies in Citizens Bank Park due to right hip soreness, according to rotoworld.com. Delgado received an anti-inflammatory injection earlier in the week, and was on track for a return to the lineup Friday. Delgado missed the entire series with the Marlins and has not played since Sunday. With a left-hander pitching Saturday in Jamie Moyer, the Mets may [...]

Kevin Burkhardt did a great piece on the telecast the other night comparing the new Homerun apple at Citi Field to the old one from Shea.  For those of you who missed it, the old apple is made out of papier mache and weighs practically nothing. It is 12 feet in diameter. The new apple is made completely out of fiberglass, weighing over 5,000 pounds. It measures 19 feet in diameter. The Homerun apple takes only [...]

As the Mets venture South to Philly this weekend following a less-than-stellar beginning to their season, I thought it might brighten some peoples’ day by pointing out what occurred last night in Chicago. The Cubs and Marlins were locked in a 2-2 tie going into the 10th. In walks Aaron Heilman.  Heilman did not record an out, and gave up three hits, two walks and six runs. Flashbacks anyone? Up until last night, Heilman was [...]

Buffalol 3, Louisville 4 in 7 innings *in that scary announcer dudes voice* Just when you thought it was going to end differently, it’s CARLOSSSSS MUNIZZZ! OH NO!!!!! LOL. Jon Niese has his first outstanding effort of the season, a 6 inning 3 hit gem, Carlos Muniz comes in and blows the save, giving up 3 in the 7th, sending Buffalo to their 400th loss of the season. The Bisons pounded out 10 hits and [...]

Have any of you read Jack Curry’s piece in today’s Times about the Sillies? Well penned analysis about our enemy’s well developed tendencies to bounce back in the late innings. Had you heard about this Philly proclivity? Our Mets decidedly don’t comeback as Curry painfully indicates given how we have lost games for a while now. Ah, to have our mid-80s Metsies around! Anyway, check out the piece if you have time. One thing that [...]

(Author’s note: This is just one man’s unbiased, impartial view of Citi Field. In no way am I implying that I am speaking for all Mets fans. Just my thoughts) After surviving a brutally cold winter in the northeast, last Sunday was one of those beautiful spring days that made it all worth it. Upon waking up, I decided that rather than doing the original productive things I had planned, namely sitting around and watching [...]

Binghamton 8, Portland 3 Emmanuel Garcia broke out of a 6 for 37 slump in a huge way, going 3 for 4 with 3 runs, leading the Mets to a convincing 8-3 win over the Sea Dogs today. Josh Thole, Shawn Bowman and Mark Kiger also had multi hit games for the Mets, while Ruben Tejada (0 for 3, BB, 2 Ks, .222), Lucas Duda (0 for 4, K, .292), and Carl Loadenthal (0 for [...]
