According Adam Rubin of the Daily News, Brian Schneider will be activated from the disabled list on Saturday. So what does that mean for Omir Santos who has suddenly become a fan favorite and has proven to be a valuable asset for the Mets since originally being called up to replace Schneider in the first place? Does he get sent back down to Triple-A Buffalo or do the Mets elect to keep three catchers which is [...]

The more that Omar and Jerry deny that there is a rift between them and Ryan Church, the more apparent it becomes. The Associated Press is reporting that the Mets have acquired outfielder Emil Brown from the San Diego Padres for a player to be named later. Brown is 34-years old, and was currently playing for Triple-A Portland. He was hitting .260 with four homeruns and 22 RBI’s in 146 at-bats. Could this signal another possible move regarding Ryan Church? Being [...]

There has been a lot of talk about Fernando Martinez and his share of “boos” Wednesday night at Citi Field, after failing to run out a pop up that was ultimately dropped. Fellow Mets fan, friend and colleague, Tanya Mercado of citifieldofdreams.com was at the game and said that Martinez heard it from the crowd all night. Let me make one thing perfectly clear. I am not saying I am pleased with Fernando’s actions. Even Johan Santana knew to run [...]

After Gary Sheffield was nailed at the plate, at what he assumed was a home run by Daniel Murphy on Thursday night-assumed being the operative word, it might behoove all of the Mets to bust it on balls that carom off the quirky Citi Field walls. To be a home run, or not to be a home run. That is the question, that only television cameras can address. Yes, the Mets are five-for-five on the [...]

After David Wright struck out four times on Wednesday night and earned the first Golden Sombrero of his career, I couldn’t help but notice how different he looked from the Wright we saw on the recent West Coast swing. I decided to check out Baseball Reference and take a look at his home and road splits. The results were somewhat dramatic in several areas. The comparison gets off to a good start because the sample [...]

Carlos Beltran is listed as day-to-day and is due back from a bone bruise on his right knee tonight against the Marlins. On Wednesday, Beltran said he was feeling 100% better and that he would be ready to play on Friday. Manuel said Beltran will start in center field. Alex Cora is on the 15 day DL and is due back from a torn ligament in his right thumb on Tuesday. Cora began a three game rehab in [...]

Gary Sheffield is hitting .362 with 4 homeruns and 15 RBI’s this month. K-Rod has been incredible this month with a perfect 9 for 9 in saves, a win, and a 0.00 ERA!

Most of you know by now, about how the recently called-up Fernando Martinez failed to run out a fair popup in front of the plate. It was a stupid mistake and he should have been hauling ass. After the game Jerry Manuel explained, “That was really an unfortunate thing for him, but it was a mistake. I don’t see that as part of his regular behavior.” Martinez was clearly embarrassed and said, “I will say sorry [...]
