There are many question marks surrounding the Mets’ offense this season. Why isn’t Jose Reyes hitting? Why is David Wright striking out so much? Why can’t Jason Bay get a clutch hit? Where did Jeff Francoeur’s bat disappear to? Why isn’t Luis Castillo on crutches yet? It’s enough to make a Mets fan go crazy when the team puts men on base only to strand them by striking out, popping up or grounding into a [...]

I wanted to post something before the game and I had a choice to either write something about the trash at Citi Field or some non Mets news that smelled very Phishy. What a choice, huh? I decided to go with the latter, but before I do, I wanted to thank our friends at the uber-cool Real Dirty Mets Blog. for pointing me toward this phoul stench of a story. GravediggerHebner explains: According to many reports, including this one [...]

I’m tired of it. Sitting here and reading this site on a daily basis, I’ve had enough of the people calling each other racist and making comments about gender and anything else that falls into that category. I understand that everyone is allowed their own opinion, but I guess jokingly or not, the comments have become a little too much. I can take a joke and I don’t take offense to much, because nobody has [...]

It’s safe to say that David Wright has been in a real rut at the plate as of late. He’s back to pressing at the plate, his swing is way off kilter, and he’s even letting his emotions get the best of him. On the surface, you look at Wright’s numbers on the season and there’s really a lot to be encouraged about. He already has seven home runs to go with a .930 OPS that puts him [...]

Those of you who know me and follow my writing know that I have a unique nickname for Jose Reyes.  It’s “Junior”.  “Why Junior?”, you ask?  His initials are JR, which is the abbreviation for junior.  And right now, it couldn’t be more appropriate. Before everyone gets bent out of shape and calls for my head on a platter, let me stress one thing — I love Jose Reyes.  He is one of my all-time [...]

First off, I’d like to apologize for not being able to put this up last week. Lives outside baseball sometimes tend to clash with our lives that involve baseball. In any case, it wasn’t too bad of a bad of a week for the Mets. Taking two out of three from the Giants overshadowed the struggles we had in Cincinnati. I think it’s safe to assume that we shouldn’t panic over every single loss (take [...]

John Maine pitched well enough to win Monday night, but the Mets offense returned to their anemic ways in a 3-2 loss to the Washington Nationals at Citi Field. The Mets rallied for a run in the ninth inning when Angel Pagan hit a solo home run to the deepest part of the park. Alex Cora reached based with a two-out single, but Jason Bay’s struggles continued as he struck out against Miguel Batista to end the game. [...]

Coming into Spring Training there was a lot of positive buzz on Oliver Perez.  Besides new facial hair he had been working out in Arizona for months getting in shape and trying to work on his pitches.  Perez arrived in excellent shape, a complete 180 from the year before.  People who follow the team on a daily basis said that Ollie was more focused and ready to earn his 36 million dollar contract.  Then came [...]

Earlier today, Joe D. posted a blog saying that 1B/OF Chris Carter is very close to joining the Mets. In it he wrote, With the Mets’ continuing reluctance to take on additional payroll, they find themselves in the very fortunate (and envious) position of tapping into their minor league system for help that appears to be major league ready and ripe for promotions. The Mets have a lot of good baseball people in their ranks [...]
