SNY and the Mets have finally fixed that annoying score bug that has led to so much confusion regarding the score during Mets telecasts. I don’t know if this bothered you as much as it did me, but on many occasions I found myself getting faked out with the score because my mind couldn’t get past the fact that the number in the middle was the inning. Here is the the one they started the [...]

From the comment thread on Hojo’s article today about Egbert’s recall. Metsie wrote something, and I started to respond, and then I said “what the hell.” This is a blog site. Post a blog. So here it is, with inspiration from the unsinkable Metsie, and of course Joe D. Metsie said: There are a lot of “Fans” who don’t know anything and go solely on the BA List of prospects! If BA doesn’t mention them [...]

A Day In Pictures  Jenrry Mejia follows through after delivering a pitch in the first inning. I had gotten to the ballpark in New Britain on Thursday morning at around 9am for a 10:35 start time. I really wanted to get some coffee and eat breakfast but that would have to wait until I went up to the press-box about 45 minutes before game time. In the meantime I snapped off a few pictures for [...]

According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, R.A. Dickey would like the front office to pick up his $5 million dollar option for 2013 and begin negotiating a contract extension, saying: “I like it here and I want to be here. I feel like the team is moving in the right direction, and I want to be a part of the solution. Now it’s up to them. If I’m in their plans, [a contract extension] is [...]

David Wright gets a good chunk of the credit for the Mets’ unexpectedly solid start to this season and deservedly so. New York doesn’t have a lot of run producers, and Wright is hitting a ML-leading .415 as June approaches. But credit is due also with the Mets’ pitching staff, particularly its starting rotation. Or, at least, the top two guys in the starting rotation. These two are definitely key elements that will be affecting [...]

Instead, Davis will lose significant playing time, but will be permitted to work out his problems at the Major League level. Collins said that he will start Davis based on favorable matchups.

Dickey pitched a gem on Tuesday night, going 7 innings giving up only one run, and striking out eleven Bucs. A [...]
