Hey all. Fresh from the land of random information that matters to somebody out there, here are some notes from across the MLB in the past week. You might find some of this interesting. Aroldis Chapman may have had the most intriguing last few days of any MLB player – as he was involved in two seperate incidents with the law. He was arrested after being clocked at 93 MPH – driving, not pitching. Insert [...]

Dickey probably could have gone the entire game tonight the way he was dealing – 7 dominant innings led the Mets to a 3-2 victory. Summary I have come to the conclusion that I need to see as many of Tricky Dick’s games as I possibly can, because this man can seriously pitch. R.A. started tonight and was foolishly removed after 7 innings (I will get to that in a short while) after allowing 5 [...]

Sometimes, you just need to tip your cap… Our Mets lost 2-0 across the Northern border to the Jays on Saturday afternoon. Summary The last recap I penned had to do with Zack Greinke, and this game brought upon another great pitching talent in Brandon Morrow. Sometimes, there is absolutely nothing you can do. You can not win if you can not score. Simple as that. Brandon Morrow dominated the Mets with 8 K in [...]

Mets got beaten all-around tonight in an 8-0 Brewers victory. Summary Well, it was not Francisco tonight. There is no nice way to say this – we just did not have it tonight. The offense bit and Collins made one really intriguing decision… Oh, Dillon Gee was not on his game either. So the aforementioned Gee started tonight and pitched into the sixth ineffectively – allowing 8 H and 7 ER, with the main blows [...]

I know I am a little late on the issue and that most of you really do not want to read anything about Cole Hamels. That is fine by me. I still think he is a goddamn idiot for announcing to the world that he hit Harper on purpose. He basically went out of his way to say, “Suspend me! Or fine me, that would be ok too.” Of course, my only quibble here, is [...]

Mets took advantage of their opportunities tonight and pulled off a 7-4 win in Philadelphia , giving them back-to-back wins against their division rivals. Summary So you know that large majority of you that like defense? You should leave now. However, if you enjoy beating the Phillies, I permit you to stay. So… all of you, stay. Two errors for each team (and two wild pitches for Ramon Ramirez) made this an interesting contest. Miguel Batista [...]

You are going to see me complain about walks, but it was a rough start for Jon Niese that put us on the path to a 6-3 defeat to the Astros. Summary You all know I like pitching, right? Right. You all know I hate walks, right? Right. So you can imagine how much I screamed at my television when I saw the Mets walk a ridiculous eight players in the eight innings pitched Tuesday [...]

Jon Niese gave the Mets seven strong innings today and Captain Kirk put the exclamation point on a rally in the ninth for a Mets win this afternoon, 3-2. Summary Run support is key for starters, and for a while, it looked like today would be another wasted strong start by a Mets starter. Jon Niese started and pitched for seven effective innings, allowing only 4 hits and 2 ER over that span, striking out [...]
