If you’re talking about his stature and his 6’7″ frame, than by all accounts Mike Pelfrey has earned the nickname of “Big Pelf”. However, if the word “big” is supposed to be indicative of his performance level when he takes the mound, well I’m not buying it. Not yet anyway. The Mets must have bought into the hype when they decided Pelfrey was big enough to be a number two starter on a team that [...]

Since 2006, it’s been said that “As Jose Reyes goes, so do the Mets.” So far, after a scant seven games into the season, the Mets find themselves sitting in 4th place with a 3-4 record. Jose Reyes hasn’t exactly lit things up at the plate or even on the basepaths. It was maddening to see him get called out at second base last night while trying to stretch a single into a double. It [...]

I had a different blog that I was going to do for my weekly piece but since last night was the first official game played at Citi Field and I attended the game I thought our readers would like an inside account of my experience at the new field.  For the last couple of years now we have been hearing from the Mets about the future home of the New York Mets.   I was very [...]

Here are just a few of things the Mets and New York have planned for tonight’s Home Opener at Citi Field. 1. The Empire State Building will be lit up in honor of the Mets tonight and feature the team colors, blue and orange, to mark the special occasion. Look for the awesome spectacle to begin just before game time and last until midnight. (heck yeah!) 2. Two of our all time greatest Mets will throw [...]

Opening Night is grand when it pertains to Broadway, but baseball is another story.Far be it from me to douse the flames of fervor, but the christening of Citi Field as the skies darken and the temps’ plummet is another in a long list of travesties perpetrated on the defenseless fans. We are treated more and more like sheep as time passes and we comply by following the shepherd off to slaughter. Nevertheless, I ask [...]

According to NJ.com, Tim Redding got a break from his rehab in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and was invited to Miami for Sunday’s game. It’s still uncertain how long it will be before he is invited to join the team on the active roster. He is scheduled to throw his third bullpen session today and then face hitters Wednesday, with a possibility of his first game action coming a week from today. As long as [...]

Mike Pelfrey will usher in a new era at Citi Field tonight as the Mets officially annoint their new ballpark. Pelfrey spoke to MLB Network about how he plans to adjust his pitching style for his new homefield surroundings. “There’s a 415 written out there on the wall,” Pelfrey said, referring to the fence in right-center field. “I might as well just throw the ball down the middle and let them hit it. They’re going to [...]
