In yesterday’s New York Times, Tyler Kepner, who once was that paper’s Mets beat reporter, writes a speculative and thought-provoking piece about the WIlpons either canning or retaining Minaya. Basically, their choice at season’s end will be telling. Wilpon has

My, my but the New York Post is full of fun Mets stories on this night when the Amazins fell to the Rox 6-2. First up, breaking news: K-Rod beats up father-in-law, sending him to hospital. I couldn’t stand that jerk either. Betcha he’ll think twice about mouthin’ off to Frankie.

Let’s speak bluntly, shall we? Everybody who has followed the columns and discussions on MMO this season knows I have wanted JMAN to be an ex-Mets manager since spring. We have been a total disaster since the All-Star break, and in an at least must-tie road trip, we went 2-4.

Don’t you think he’s giving Chipper Jones a run for his money in terms of being one of those fantastic ballplayers who just torments the Mets and their fans? Now, I wasn’t there tonight, but I am sure some group of Mets fans thought they could get in Pujols’ head as usual

From Hojo’s lips to God’s ears? Well, not exactly (there was no “couple of HRs”), but Jason Bay did hit the ball hard on three occasions with the best being reserved for his last AB of the night—a rocket gapper smacked into right center that cleared the base paths and put

Pelted only by the game’s second and third hitters, Mike Pelfrey threw perhaps his best game of the season. For the second time in a row, our number five man to start the season, looked Seaver-esque, almost always ahead of hitters in the count, he economized on his pitches magnificently

My guess is that if you find yourself in the market for a motivational speaker you probably will not give very serious consideration to hiring Charlie Manuel. On the other hand, I am kind of hoping he holds another closed-door meeting with his (by now) totally shell-shocked crew when

Okay, I admit it: from my redoubt here in Zurich, Switzerland I am pretty guilty of not having watched yesterday’s terrible loss to the Giants through any medium other than Gameday, and so some may feel I shouldn’t opine on what happened yesterday. Nevertheless, having

My hunch is that few to no Mets fans now miss Brian Schneider, last year’s non-entity of a backstop. Yeah, and the non-entity the year before that. After Fernando Nieve blew Maine’s 4-2 lead in the eighth inning (Mainey threw six above average innings in one of his best
