Mets Win 6-1
The Mets beat the Dodgers last night marking several milestones. Firstly they scored 6 runs. That’s a big deal for this team and hopefully is a sign that they are coming out of their collective hitting slump. Secondly, they scored their first series win since the first week of the season. If they can parlay […]
Bad News on the Injury Front
Jose Reyes took himself out of yesterday’s rehab game with St. Lucie. He tweaked his hammy trying to run out an infield single. Not much else is known. Cliff Floyd is not yet ready for a rehab game and is now not expected back until Tuesday in San Francisco at the earliest.
Another Day, Another Loss
In losing to the Dodgers 3-2 last night at least the Mets made a game of it. Kaz Matsui led the game off with a homer and got a hit in the 9th against Eric Gagne to keep the game alive (even though his team mates weren’t able to score against the closer who hasn’t […]

Excellent Article About Rick Peterson
Today’s Star-Ledger has an excellent piece by David Waldstein discussing Rick Peterson’s approach to the game.
Leiter Injured?
It’s been reported locally that Al Leiter is pitching with a sore shoulder. He refuses to get it looked at because at this point in his career he wouldn’t have surgery anyway. I respect his decision of not wanting surgery but if this is going to cost him innings and/or effectiveness then he owes it […]

I’ve seen some negative things written about Art Howe lately in the media as well as other blogs. I tend to be a bit on the patient side before jumping on the bandwagon especially early in the season. But it seems like now may be as good a time as any to saddle up. Why […]
