I know I said I was going to discontinue posting lineups before each game near the end of last season. You can get the lineup at the pre-game show on SNY or MetsBlog, who posts it as soon as he gets it. But I had to make an exception today because as I read it this afternoon on MetsBlog, I couldn’t help thinking that this might be the best lineup Jerry Manuel has ever posted as manager of...
Read MoreMan, it has been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to do one of these. I apologize to anyone who takes the time out to read these; I’ve had a lack of internet for the majority of the past two weeks. The only thing that saved me was that I still had access to television.

In his last six starts, Pelfrey’s ERA has climbed from an NL East leading 2.39 to a season high of 4.01. His start last night in which he lasted just one and a third innings, was the shortest start of his career. What is...
Read MoreI really try to avoid the pitfalls of letting a game or two get to me. However in lieu of Sunday’s implosion of Frankie Rodriguez, his latest in a line of many, my jerking knee isn’t bothering my conscience quite as much as I thought it would. Earlier this year Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel fawned over minor league phenom pitcher, Jenrry Mejia. Somehow through that love affair the kid...
Read MoreIt looks like later today or possibly tomorrow Oliver Perez will be reactivated and be back with the big league team. The genius that Jerry Manuel is has reportedly decided to use him the bullpen as a second lefty. The fact that Oliver Perez is going to be back on this team just shows how bad the management of this team really is. Oliver Perez shouldn’t even be on this team anymore....
