Oh My Gado, What A Night!

I guess today is Carlos Delgado Day on Mets Merized Online. Well, why not? While some can say that this Mets resurgence lies squarely with Interim Manager Jerry Manuel, can anybody deny that he couldn’t have done it without Delgado? Not only is Delgado doing the right things at the plate, but he even has picked up his performance defensively, continues to provide veteran...

Big Pelf – The Magic Continues

What can you say about Mike Pelfrey that hasn’t been said already? I am running out of superlatives I can use to describe how special and how amazing his season continues to be. Last night’s performance may have been his best one yet… Nine solid innings of one run ball with eight strikeouts and no walks. A complete game three-hitter. The one run he gave up didn’t even...

Four Mets Relievers Lead League In Appearances

As Joel Sherman of the NY Post stated in his article this morning… There are many categories you want your players to be among the league leaders. This is not one of them. The New York Mets have four relievers in the top nine in the NL in appearances. Pedro Feliciano and Aaron Heilman (68 games) are tied for third. Luis Ayala (66) was really pushed in Washington’s pen before...
