Mets.com is reporting that the Mets dodged a bullet and that Jose Ryes will not require a stint on the DL. They write, The New York Mets got a little good news today regarding shortstop Jose Reyes. Or at least it wasn’t the bad news they may have been expecting.

According to Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse, the Mets have already been in contact with the Cleveland Indians about infielder Mark DeRosa. He writes, Even before Jose Reyes became the latest Met to suffer an injury, leaving Wednesday night’s game, the Mets had been talking with the Indians about acquiring Mark DeRosa to play first base in Carlos Delgado’s absence, an official from one of the teams confirmed to FanHouse. DeRosa could also help out [...]

Metsmerized Today is your daily dose of all the Mets news, quotes, and links that you need to know! Okay, okay so nobody expected that we would get swept in L.A. this week, except for Mike Francesa, but it wasn’t all bad news. Yes losing is never good, but losses sometimes lead to good things. To begin, a big hand of applause for how Dan Murphy played first base last night, he’s no Keith Hernandez, [...]

Mets shortstop Jose Reyes will be in New York today for tests and imaging on his sore right calf. Reyes took himself out of last night’s game after he aggravated the injury running hard to first base to beat out a grounder. I did some research and according to WebMD, calf strains may be minor or very severe and physician grade the injury according: Grade 1 Calf Strain : The muscle is stretched causing some [...]

According to a report on ESPN by Peter Gammons, The San Diego Padres have agreed to trade staff ace Jake Peavy to the Chicago White Sox and are waiting for Peavy to decide if he will waive his no-trade clause, sources tell ESPN. Peavy has a full no-trade clause [...]

As I watched the start of the game last night and got my first look at Dan Murphy manning his new digs at first base, I have to admit my expectations for success were very low. Based on what I had already seen of Murphy at leftfield, and how reluctant the Mets were to move him to first base, I could only surmise that he must be even worse as an infielder than he was as [...]

Binghamton 3, Connecticut 6 Jose Sanchez had another very bad outing for the Mets, giving up all 6 runs on 8 hits and 4 walks in 5 innings, ballooning his ERA to 6.59, and running his record to 1-5. The offense never really had a chance, they were down 6-0 after 3 innings. They did rally for 3 in the 6th, but couldn’t get much else. They had 10 hits and a walk, but were [...]

Ramon Martinez…The Joke’s On Us  I know, even if we had tied, who would then go on to play short in the bottom of the ninth? If that’s the rationale, we’re all in deep doo-doo. Nutty as it may be, I kind of thought the consensus was not to get swept in L.A.If I were to advise Jerry Manuel, I’d say, “Jerry, don’t you think it would be a great idea to put up Sheffield [...]
