We Were Bamboozled!

Going into the 2009 season hopes were high for the Mets.  Most people believed that once the Mets signed Francisco “K-Rod” Rodriguez that all the problems from last year were solved.  Last year the bullpen killed us in our race to the playoff’s but that was not the only reason why missed out of the playoff’s.  The offense was not getting it done towards the end of last...

Series Preview: Mets (59-72) @ Rockies (72-59)

If you are still watching most of the Mets games right now, I would have to consider you a hardcore fan.  There hasn’t been much to look forward to the past few weeks, as the team roster has been reduced to a Triple A squad.  The injuries never end, and the disabled list has become a black hole. The Mets start September with a three game series against the Colorado Rockies.  The start of...

MetsMerized Player Of The Week! 8/23-8/30

So pitching wise, I’d have to say we did not see a bad week for the Mets, with the Mets starters throwing out two Johan-esque performances (Misch, Figueroa), some decent ones (Redding, Figueroa), and some…bad ones (Parnell, Pelfrey, Parnell).
