Let me begin by saying that the Mets bullpen is one of the best in baseball right now and certainly the best in the National League. With that being said, this post might come off as being a little bit too nit-picky. I am somewhat befuddled by Jerry Manuel’s incessant overuse of Sean Green so far this season. Green is mired in the midst of a dreadful start that has seen his ERA swell to [...]

While reading a recap of yesterday’s game from Associated Press, I read something that caught me completely by surprise. Apparently, after the game Ian Snell spoke with reporters and pretty much accused Wright of somehow stealing signs. Here is the way AP tells it, “They hit some good pitches. I found out later they had our signs,” said Snell, who lost for the fifth time in seven starts. “That’s baseball – there’s nothing wrong with it.” [...]

Game Summary Livan Hernandez survived a shaky start, but settled down and gave the Mets six solid innings, as the Mets won their seventh straight and beat the Pirates 8-4 on Sunday. Carlos Beltran, Luis Castillo and Omir Santos each drove in a pair of runs for the Mets, who continued their offensive revival at the plate. The Mets are now all alone if first place. That’s right – take it all in Mets fans! [...]

I was feeling especially creative today. Maybe it was because of the wonderful winning streak the Mets are on, or maybe it was because I was relaxed and enjoying Mother’s Day. Either way, here are seven new creations featuring the seven players that, in my opinion, have been the most impactful so far this season. I definitely hope that the hard play and winning ways continue and I hope I am inspired even more by the [...]

Many of us are still feeling good after watching Jonathon Niese make his season debut and deliver a top notch performance, beating the Pirates and giving us something to get excited about. I don’t know what prompted the Mets to make the last minute switch and replace Ken Takahashi with Niese for that start, but I’m certainly glad they did. I have nothing against Takahashi and I didn’t mean to knock him when he was [...]

Gary Cohen just gave an update on Brian Schneider during the WB11 Mets broadcast. He said, “Brian Schneider isn’t even close to a return and in fact he hasn’t even done any running”. Schneider, was placed on the disabled list with a strained back on April 17, and was eligible to return on May 2nd. However, he is now experiencing problems with his calf muscle. It’s not know when he is expected to be ready [...]

Buffalo 1, Norfolk 3 Another game, another woeful offensive showing from the Bisons. This time, they managed just a run on 4 hits and 3 walks, going 1 for 11 with RISP and leaving 5 on base. Cory Sullivan (1 for 3, BB, K, .208), Argenis Reyes (white hot Argenis Reyes, 2 for 3, run, 2b, BB, .328 today; 10 for his last 20) and Mike Lamb (1 for 3, 2b, RBI, BB, .098) had [...]

Gary Cohen has embedded it into our brains… As Jose Reyes goes, so do the Mets. Lets face it, Reyes hasn’t exactly lit it up with his bat or on the bases this season. But, if you take a closer look you’ll find that his current .336 on-base percentage, matches his career total exactly. So, while he hasn’t exactly got on base via the hit, he has made up for it a little bit with increased walks. [...]

Game Summary The Mets finally got the idea and decided that the best way to play Citi Field was to stop swinging for the fences and start driving the ball toall fields. The results were astonishing as the launched a 17 hit attack and beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-1. Johan Maine started and continues to show signs that his problems are far behind him.  It was the Mets sixth straight victory, and it moved them into a [...]
