Today I am joined by Matt Cerrone of SNY’s Metsblog. We talk about Mickey Callaway’s job status, how the New York media treats the Mets vs. the Yankees, and if the league is tampering with the baseball to change the game for the next generation of fans. [iframe]<iframe...
I am joined by Matt Cerrone of Metsblog. We discuss his book “The New York Mets Fans Bucket List” and the current team. Hear our thoughts on Matt Harvey, David Wright’s progress, and the importance of the team’s response to the recent gut-wrenching defeats to the Nationals and Braves. [iframe]<iframe...
We all have the plan that is going to make the Mets successful in 2014–sign this guy, trade that guy–we’ve heard every possible combination out there, but does it ever really go as we plan? Every Mets fan goes through four phases during the off-season: excitement, heart break, anger, and eventually acceptance. The excitement comes with all the different scenarios regarding who the Mets could and...
Mets’ relievers Frank Francisco and Pedro Feliciano threw a simulated game in Port St. Lucie on Tuesday. Francisco continues to recover from off-season elbow surgery, and is currently on the disabled list, retroactive to March 22. The righty threw an inning of work, which consisted of 20 pitches. Mets lefty reliever Feliciano continues to work on his arm strength, and also threw one inning...
As the Mets look for ways to improve their roster heading into next year, its become apparent that their shoestring budget will force them into the trade market. There are a million ways that could play out, but some people have their ideas. For instance, I think the pertinent play would be for the Mets to shop RA Dickey in an effort to fill their outfield and/or catching needs. That,...

This has been due in part to injuries, but it has also been the product of the Mets organization’s unwillingness to deal with mediocrity. Jack Egbert, the “power-hitting” Jeremy Hefner, Chris Schwinden, Rob Johnson, Omar Quintanilla, Jordany Valdespin, Vinny Rottino and even Kirk Nieuwenhuis all started the...
Earlier today I had the pleasure of being joined by MetsBlog.com blogger, Michael Baron on my radio show “Mets Talk Live! Wright or Wrong?!? and he has a lot to say on the K-Rod trade as well as the Mets going forward in 2011 and beyond. Here is what Michael had to say on Sandy Alderson’s conference call earlier today regarding the K-Rod trade: JS: Hey Michael, I saw the news break...
I have to admit I didn’t really want to write this. Don’t get me wrong I appreciate every opportunity I’m given to write for MMO. I just tend to find it difficult to write about, well, nothing; or at least rehash what the general consensus is. Ok, that’s probably a bit harsh not to mention encroaching on mamby pamby land – especially considering the positive events of...
The Apologists and those looking for the silver lining in the clouds a day after the non-waiver trading deadline have all had there say. I’ve seen Matt Cerrone over on Metsblog say the Mets did the right thing. I’ve seen a few writers here comment and suggest that no one move would have put us over the top, or brought us a post season berth, Conjecture on some of the media’s part is that the...
