What a difference a week and a half can make. Just ten days ago, we were all throwing stones, pointing fingers and placing blame. Omar should be fired. Wright should be traded. Delgado should be benched. Reyes should stop smiling so much. Things seemingly have changed almost overnight. The same team that was 10-13 and going nowhere has won 8 out of 9 games leaving the Phillies, Marlins and...
Read MoreHere is the complete video of the streaker from last night’s game at Citi Field. It was taken by the best friend of the streaker who is known as Craig Coakley. When he finished his performance which included sliding into second base, he was finally grabbed by security and the guards dragged him away through a tunnel on the third-base side. The Braves were leading 1-0 when the streaker,...
Read MoreWow, what a finish! The Mets just won a heck of game thanks to some clutch hits, clutch baserunning, and the biggest play of the game… a clutch walk! That’s right, a walk-of walk!!! Carlos Beltran was at the center of all the action, and Mike Pelfrey pitched a hell of a game holding Atlanta to just 2 runs in 7 innings. Frankie Rodriguez also came through with two solid innings in the...

If Delgado ends up on the DL, look for Murphy to begin getting playing time at first base. Manuel said the team will evaluate Delgado on Friday and will determine if he needs to be put on the disabled list. While a guest on WFAN, Manuel...
Read MoreBuffalo 4, Gwinnett 3 in 11 innings Tim McNab picked up a cheap win (it’s the theme of the night), giving up a pair in the top of the 11th, (1 earned, due to a Fernando Martinez error), only to see the Bisons score 3 in the bottom half of the inning for the win. Dillon Gee started the game and was excellent for the 2nd time in his last 3 starts (7 ip, 6 h, er, k on 5/2). Tonight, he gave...
Read MoreYou can’t win ’em all, it has been said, but last night’s defeat did sting a tad. For one, the Mets continue to squander sterling Johan Santana performances. He should hire a lawyer and sue the hitters for non-support. Why do the bats take a respite every time the fiery lefty storms the hill? The numbers don’t lie: 2.14 runs per game, worse for a starter (with 6 or more...
