Hi everyone, As you know we’ve completely revamped our site from top to bottom and launched it on Opening Day. We have continued working at it day in and day out because when we launched it was only 80% completed. Yesterday we were able to add the image modules for each post on our main page as many of you had asked us to. We also show more of the post on the main page [...]

This Mets team is struggling to get started this year. Not for a lack of production from its 4-5-6 hitters, or so the boxscore would have you imagine. Carlos Delgado has hit the ground running with a .343 BA and 3 dingers. Carlos Beltran is hitting .333. Ryan Church is batting a stellar .419 with 6 doubles!! How is it that the Mets are sitting in 4th place with a 4-5 record? Only a week into the season, and [...]

Fernando Tatis has been a godsend for the Mets from the moment he first arrived. Last season, Fernando Tatis had one of the highest batting averages on the Mets with runners in scoring position at .392. He batted .375 with the bases loaded, and .357 with runners on base. By driving in 47 runs and slugging 11 homers in just 273 at-bats last season, he was awarded with the Comeback Player of the Year award. [...]

The Mets have yet to make a decision regarding Mike Pelfrey and his upcoming start on Sunday. Pelfrey said yesterday, that he wants to pitch and that he’s not concerned about the forearm. Jerry Manuel remains non-committal either way, and most have surmised that the decision has already been made to skip his start on Sunday. Until an official announcement is made, it still can go either way. Can somebody please assure me that I [...]

During Wednesday night’s broadcast, Gary Cohen talked about some of the drives he felt would have been homers at Shea Stadium, specifically citing Wright and Beltran’s long outs. He went on to say how Jeff Wilpon mentioned that the Citi Field was setup so that if necessary they could bring in the fences next season if the park effected the Mets offense adversely. After many, many years of playing in a pitchers park like Shea [...]

The Mets lost the game and the series to the Padres tonight thanks to a poor outing by John Maine and a lack of situational hitting. The game began with Ramon Castro behind the plate because Brian Schneider was given the night off after complaining of back and leg pain. Castro would later homer in the game. Jake Peavy started and did everything he could to give the Mets the win in the first inning. After a [...]

Catcher, Brian Schneider is being given the night off from the series finale with the Padres this evening due to what the Mets are listing as back stiffness and a leg strain.  Ramon Castro is getting the start in Schneider’s place. It must have been an easy decision for the Mets to sit him as Schneider is only batting .143 so far this season. Fernando Tatis will be the Mets backup catcher while Schneider is [...]

Hopefully, the Mets are playing it safe and will allow Mike Pelfrey to rest rather than pitch on Sunday. In a post I made this morning, I suggested that the Mets call up Nelson Figueroa and let him pitch until Mike Pelfrey is 100% pain free and has no further soreness in his forearm. I wrote in a comment to Adam: The Mets should just shelve Pelfrey for 2 weeks, and use Nelson Figueroa for [...]

Mets fans are always worried, thats what makes us Mets fans. Of course you have the overly optimistic Mets fans who will always tell you, “it’s only April” or “relax, we have a seven game lead.” Those fans are the most vocal, but still make up the minority. We are all a hopeful bunch, but still “glass empty” type of fans for the most part. All of that said, we could always count on the [...]

Only two starts into his new role as the Mets number two starter, a role many warned might lead to a unwise workload in only his second full season, Mike Pelfrey is already ailing with what is being called forearm tendinitis. The Mets have long considered Mike Pelfrey, a former first round pick, a prized possession, but when Pelfrey complained of a stiff forearm in spring training, the Mets solution was to keep trotting him [...]
