Decisions, Decisions

It’s going to be an interesting next week or so for the Mets brass as they have alot of decisions to make. A couple of roster moves were made yesterday but they cloud the picture more than they clear it up. Kazuhisa Ishii was activated off of the 15-day disabled list to start tonight’s game […]



Benson Shuts Down Reds

Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Alot of people in the media and the blogs are refering to last night’s Mets victory over Cincinnati at Shea as revenge for the Reds season opening sweep of the Amazins’. Forget revenge.

The frequent refrain goes that Jackson wants to go to the team […]



Zambrano Has Good Outing

Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game. Víctor Zambrano had a good outing (6 IP, 3 H, 3 ER) with the exception of the second inning where he allowed all 3 of the runs scored against him. If he can take this through to his next outing then he’s going to back the Mets […]

Though this really isn’t Mets related I figured I’d share the details about this issue here as a public service to anyone else in the blogsphere […]
