Injuries, poor performance, Jerry’s invisible dog house, and expectations that were way off, have shaped the current Mets into something nobody could have imagined on April 1st. Omar’s master plan had too many holes and much like last season, it’s success was hinging on a huge contribution from a soon to be 37-year old slugger in the middle of the lineup. Sound familiar? Carlos Delgado may have struck the biggest blow to the Mets this season, when [...]

As reported in the Buffalo News, The Buffalo Bisons put up 15 hits Monday afternoon to put together their first three-game winning streak of the season with an 8-7 win over the Lehigh Valley IronPigs at Coca-Cola Field. The IronPigs built a 4-0 lead through the first three innings before the Herd broke through in the fourth for five runs on six hits. Lehigh Valley regained the lead in the fifth when Miguel Cairo had [...]

Tonight the Mets return to Citi Field, banged up and bruised, but still only a game and a half behind the first place Phillies.  Their next 13 games are to be played exclusively against the Washington Nationals, Florida Marlins and Pittsburgh Pirates.  These opponents have a combined record of 53-79.  The Mets must take advantage of this opportunity so that the next time the Phillies come to Citi Field on June 9, it’ll be them [...]

Buffalo 8, Lehigh Valley 7 Dillon Gee had a rough outing today, snapping a streak of 3 good starts in his last 4 (those 3 good starts totalling 20.1 innings, 12 hits, 2 earned runs, 7 walks and 16 Ks). Today, he gave up 4 hits and 4 runs in 4 innings. Brandon Knight also had a bad outing, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits in 3.2 innings, but the Bisons overcame the poor [...]

When I got home from work this afternoon, I went to check my Facebook profile and I found this wall post from by best friend, who will remain nameless and happens to be a Red Sox fan: “Now I have gloating rights. Sox won 12-5.” Okay, so I rubbed it in when the Mets won on Friday…..and came back in the ninth to stun the Sox on Saturday but yesterday’s game was just pathetic for [...]

Once again it falls upon all Americans to take a pause from the daily grind in remembrance of all the brave men and women that have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country and gave their lives. We at Mets Merized Online honor their memories on this Memorial Day. We also take great pride in all the servicemen and women who continue to serve their country and defend the American way of life all over the [...]

I have to say that I was rather disappointed with this road trip. I know! I know! They lost one-fourth of their roster. Still, I feel the Mets should’ve really gotten on a winning streak here. They did well against the San Francisco Giants. I’ll take three out of four from them. They were up against a Dodgers team that was without Manny Ramirez. The Mets beat themselves during that series. There was no reason [...]

Buffalo 5, Columbus 3 Fernando Nieve had a second straight good outing in AAA, again giving up 2 runs in 6 innings, and again picking up the win. Elmer Dessens gave up a run in the 9th, but picked up his 4th save of the season. The Bison offense had 8 hits and 2 walks, and also took advantage of an error in scoring 5 runs. They were 3 for 10 with RISP and left [...]

After the Mets got a little help from technology to complete a late rally and win a second consecutive game, the Mets look to take game three and sweep the Red Sox at Fenway. The Mets will have their newly acquired Tim Redding who is getting his second start with a 0-0 record and a 3.00 ERA. The Mets will go up against the knuckleballer Tim Wakefield who is 5-2 with a 3.59 ERA. Let [...]
