Sitting at my desk, I pondered over the Milledge exile. Well, I wasn’t excited about it at first. Actually, I’m still not excited about it. But, much like the Professor X trade, I guess we’re all going to have to move on. Then, I thought of something. We currently have three catchers, one of them is most likely gonna go. Sorry Estrada, but I don’t see you as a Met...
This will be my last blog for August, both ‘Orange Seats and the Minor League Report. I’m taking a two-week vacation with my family. So, yeah. I’ll be back the 26th. On with the blog!Sitting in front of a computer while watching some SNY made me think, what does the future hold for us? Well, I know we have the best left-infield in the NL East, if not the MLB, but what about the...
You are probably saying, why Manny? Well, it’s just Manny being Manny. Last year when Manny Acta was the third base coach, he was aggressive, and he knew what he was doing. I’m not saying that Sandy Sr. isn’t doing his job correctly, it’s just he’s not as enthusiastic as Acta. Manny fires up the team with his energy. I haven’t heard anything about any coach...

The All-Star Game isn’t just any interleague game; it’s like round one of the World Series, even though it’s not. The tagline for this year’s All-Star Game is,...
July seemed so promising for the Mets with a much anticipated winning streak, team spirit on the rise and players performing again. However, it might have just gone from easy cruising to hectic labor. From the injury-prone Moises Alou, to the latest DL stint of Oliver Perez, the Mets have some issues. Now, with four major players (Chavez, Alou, Sosa, and Perez) on the disabled...
Today is the final day for All Star voting! If you are a REAL Mets fan, than I implore you to vote today for Paul Lo Duca. He is the heart and soul of the New York Mets and we owe it to ourselves to show him how much we appreciate the impact he has made on our team.I’m sure there are those of you who think there are catchers more deserving for the All Star nod, but...
Man, what difference a week makes. From losing six straight series, to winning four games in a row, it appears to me that the Mets are back. When I think of the Mets, I think of winning series, clutch hits, and a good combo of pitching and hitting. Well, they got that right now. If you ask me, the Mets are evolving into the elite team everyone thought they would be. Jose Reyes is creating...
