And Now The Fun Part Of The Season Begins

Say what you want about last night’s stinker against the Nats, but I’m not ready to throw in the towel just yet. It’s become quite clear to me that this Mets team plays a heck of a lot better when they are doing the chasing rather than being chased. While last night’s loss represented a big blow to the confidence of a team that was already lacking the killer...

Is It Fair To Compare David Wright To Alex Rodriguez?

I came across an interesting blurb by Matt Cerrone as I was checking out MetsBlog this morning. While commenting on David Wright’s post game comments, Matt wrote… Wright better be careful, especially with his post-game comments, as, from what I can tell listening to other fans, he is walking dangerously close to being portrayed like Alex Rodriguez, i.e., a fat stat line,...

It’s Sink Or Swim

While the Mets were licking their wounds last night, Brett Myers pitched a two-hitter and the Phillies moved into a tie for the NL wild-card lead, sweeping a day-night doubleheader from Milwaukee by winning the second game 6-1 Sunday. Joe Blanton notched a 7-3 victory for the Phillies in the first game. For the Phillies it was a night to remember… for the Mets it was a day that brought...
