General

No News

I noticed that it’s been several days since my last post and didn’t want to be away too long. But the problem is that there really isn’t anything going on. Sure with Oakland having traded Dan Haren to the Diamondbacks the rumors of a Joe Blanton trade have increased. But that’s just rumors. Nothing real […]



Noble Talks With Wagner

Marty Noble of MLB.com posted an article about a recent conversation he had with Mets closer Billy Wagner. As usual Wagner had a lot to say about the state of the Mets and he didn’t hold back. Read the article to get the full story but here are some teasers. On not re-signing Paul Lo […]



Minaya And Randolph Relationship

Looks like there may be some tension in Metsville between manger Willie Randolph and general manager Omar Minaya. While serving up food at the Bowery Mission yesterday Randolph was asked about the tams catching situation and Paul Lo Duca in particualr. His response: “I’m only the manager, not and the general manager and this is […]



Countdown Timer Bug Fix

No it wasn’t wishful thinking. A bug was responsible for the opening day countdown timer at the top of the page saying that there was 68 days to opening day when it should have said 168. I have fixed that bug now and the timer is as close to accurate as I can make it. […]

Countdown to Opening Day

I added an opening day countdown timer at the top of the page. It’s counting down to 8:05 pm on April 1 when the Mets are scheduled to kick off the 2006 season against the Cardinals in St. Louis. For the techies out there, it’s not the first time I’ve done a countdown on this […]



Almost There!

With the Phillies loss to the Atlanta tonight the Mets magic number is down to 1. This means that the Mets are almost asured of clinching the division and dethroning the Braves, who have won the division for the last 14 consecutive years, while they visit the Pirates in Pittsburgh this weekend. The only way […]



Catching Up

It seems like Mostly Mets should have had a name change to Mostly Absent over the last few weeks as pressures from my real job led me to put the blog a side for a while. I’m back now, at least part time. In the time that I didn’t post I got alot of questions […]



Get Back
