Frustrating… It’s the first word that jumps into my head whenever I hear the name of Moises Alou. All the good he does when he’s in the lineup is just washed away in one fell swoop whenever the injury bug strikes. I wonder if he’s even worth it… I wonder if we would be better served with a lesser accomplished hitter who at least can play everyday… Bart Hubbuch of the NY Post reports that [...]

The fact that the Mets have been playing uninspired baseball for almost a year may not be Willie’s undoing… The fact that the Mets have been a .500 team for almost a year may not be his undoing either. The truth of the matter is that  Willie’s own mouth may be what catapults him out of hi job as the manager of the New York Mets. There has been such a public outcry against comments [...]

It’s with some sadness and also great joy to report that Mike Piazza has announced his retirement today. In a statement released by his agent, Mike said the following… “After discussing my options with my wife, family and agent, I felt it was time to start a new chapter in my life. It has been an amazing journey, so today, I walk away with no regrets. I knew this day was coming and over the [...]

Today I read an interesting article penned by the talented Josh Curtis of the New York Observer. In the article, Josh conveys an interesting alternative as to why the Mets and the Yankees find themselves in the same quandary with regard to fan expectations versus team performance. He takes a rather interesting look at a players value in a way that makes it plain to see why so many teams who shell out the financial [...]

Who’s feeling good this morning? There’s nothing better than going to work or school with the glorious feeling that the Mets swept the shortened Subway Series and helped to bury the Yankees further in last place. Despite the drama that unfolded right after the disaster against the Nationals, Mets fans are quick to forget the bad, and quick to embrace the good. The only negative in an otherwise great weekend however, was that misplayed call [...]

He teases us with his speed, dazzles us with his defense, and sometimes astounds us with his power this season. And he hasn’t even gotten warmed up yet. Carlos Beltran’s recovery from off-season knee surgery hasn’t gone as quickly as all of us have hoped, but signs of his return to form are suddenly evident. The Mets anxiously await the arrival of the one player on their roster who can virtually carry this team much like he [...]

Before todays rained out contest, Omar Minaya reiterated his support for Willie Randolph during SNY’s pre game coverage. When asked if Randolph’s job was on the line he replied,  “Absolutely not, I am very supportive and will continue to support Willie Randolph.” Meanwhile, back at the ranch… Today we ran a poll to record our readers feelings on the matter of Willie Randolph. The results were shocking to say the least. I expected Willie’s approval rating to [...]

The Mets are floundering. They are a team that intimidates nobody. They are laughed at, joked about, pushed around, and chanted at by even the worst teams in the league. How can they possibly believe they can win a division title under these circumstances?   Yesterday, another great pitching performance was squandered and wasted by an offense that is mediocre at best and inept, inadequate and incredibly incompetent at worst. Actually check that… the latter [...]

Willie has it all wrong… He needs to wake up and smell the coffee… Yesterday, his excuse for bringing in Aaron Heilman, a move that cost the Mets a win, was that he wanted to get a couple of innings out of him, so the bullpen would be rested for the weekend. What’s he thinking? Why not worry about winning the game at hand first? Isn’t that the way it oughta’ be? To make matters [...]

Willie Randolph inherited the wrath of the fans tonight when he came out to take the ball from Aaron Heilman who had just allowed four Nationals to cross the plate and take the lead in the seventh inning. The boos were twice as loud and twice as thunderous than the ones that greeted Heilman as he walked back to the dugout. For some reason Willie keeps sending Heilman out in close games, only to take [...]
