Catch Me If You Can
I’ve seen some amazing and memorable catches over the years, but this one definitely ranks up there with the best of them. Some of you may have already seen this, but for those of you who haven’t, sit back and enjoy.I wonder if we can sign her to replace Moises Alou?

Pedro Martinez Pulled In The Fourth Inning With Shoulder Tightness
Pedro Martinez did not come out to pitch the fifth inning after being pinch-hit for in the bottom of the fourth inning. According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX sports, when he made contact with Pedro Martinez in the dugout, he pointed to his groin and said it was precautionary. UPDATE: After initially thinking it was a groin problem, it is now being reported that Pedro was pulled because of a right shoulder strain. Yikes! Pedro [...]

Damion Easley: The Earned Confidence
Last night, Damion Easley belted a game winning homerun in the eight inning to break a 1-1 deadlock and put the Mets up 2-1. Immediately after the game, Kevin Burkhardt caught up with hiim and asked him what the feeling in the clubhouse is like lately. Easley had a great answer.

David Wright to Replace Soriano In All-Star Game!

David becomes the second Met on this year’s NL roster, joining Billy Wagner. Thanks to all who voted and supported [...]

Meet The New Boys, Not The Same As The Old Boys
There’s a new sheriff in town… and his name is Jerry Manuel. Maybe this current winning streak has more to do with Jerry Manuel than you think. After sweeping the San Francisco Giants, the Mets are now 14-9 since Jerry Manuel took over for Willie Randolph. Apparently when Willie was in charge, he ran the clubhouse more like a military barracks than a normal baseball clubhouse. No card playing, no music, no facial hair, no…. well you get the picture. [...]

Luis Castillo Is Second To None, I Mean One…
Are you guys ready for a second helping of Luis Castillo this season? Or are you like me and hoping he takes his sweet ass time returning from the disabled list? There may be some clues that Jerry Manuel feels the same way we do on the matter. You just can’t take Damion Easley out of the lineup! I mean like, come on… Why in the world should we take the one player who has literally [...]

Ramon Castro Deserves To Start Against ALL Lefties
Ramon Castro continues to make the most out of his opportunities. Whenever he is in the lineup, it changes the whole offensive dynamic of the team. Last night he built a strong case for additional playtime when he blasted a three-run homerun over the right-centerfield fence that put the Mets up 3-0 and made Johan Santana a winner. But despite another lefthander on the mound this afternoon (1 PM start) for the Giants, he will [...]

Mike Pelfrey Shuts Up All The Doubters
Where are all the Mets fans who couldn’t wait to unload Mike Pelfrey in the off season? I’ll tell you where they are… scratching their heads and staring at their TV’s every time he takes the mound and exclaiming "OMG, I’m so glad Omar didn’t trade him!" Don’t feel so bad, I used to be one of those impatient Mets fans myself! (Please forgive me Big Pelf!) Pelfrey’s meteoric rise has struck a cord into our [...]

Forget Lincecum, Beltran Belts Homerun Number 250
It may not have been the shot heard round’ the world, but it certainly was the shot heard round’ the bay. Last night, with arguably the best pitcher in the National League on the mound in Tim Lincecum, the Mets made short order of him in the first inning on this Carlos Beltran blast. It was the 250th homerun of Beltran’s career and it would provide all the scoring the Mets would need as they [...]

The Mets May Have Some Fight In Them, But The Phillies Have More?
You want to talk about fight… how about those Phightin’ Phillies?? Sure they lost last night… and sure they have seen their lead shring from 5 1/2 games to just 1 1/1 games… and sure they lost 3 out of 4 games to the Mighty Mets… but nobody can accuse them of not having any fight in them. Here is some rare footage of the Phillies who were in an all-out brawl last night! Sorry… [...]
