New Format

I hope you like the new 3 column format I implemented today. I changed to this format because it brings all the sidebar links higher up on the page making them easier to access. Also, with the old format these sidebar links were hidden when viewing archived items because of the color scheme. By putting […]



YM&TR on the Grant Roberts Situation

Vinny at Yankees, Mets & the Rest has written a post about Grant Roberts’s shoulder surgery with a cute punchline.



Time To Be Optimistic, Cautious

Based on the last few games you’d figure us fans would be on top of the world. And we are. Our team has won four out of the last five games capped with a dramatic finish on Sunday. They were expected to lose all five due to the level of the competition (Randy Johnson, Brandon […]



Can That Really Happen?

Sammy Sosa sat out yesterday’s game with back spasms brought on by sneezing. Go figure.



Today’s random Thoughts

Some things I wanted to catch up on: Ricky Gutierrez was designated for assignment (DFAed) to make room for Cliff Floyd who came back from the DL. Gutierrez did nothing to distinguish himself (in a positive way) in his short stay with the Mets. Couple that with the emergence of Danny Garcia and Gutierrez becomes […]



Shut Up, Michael Moore!

I know this isn’t a political blog but… I wish movie director Michael Moore would shut up already. He recently ripped into President Bush at the Cannes Film Festival. I’m not necessarily opposed to his opinions (sometimes I agree with him and sometimes I disagree with him) and he’s just as entitled to his opinions […]



Quick Post

Why is this so important? Because in those 5 games they faced Randy Johnson, Brandon Webb, Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte & Roger […]



Mets Notes

Pearlman Responds To My Post About “Bay Bay’s Kids”

I received an email from Jeff Pearlman, author of The Bad Guys Won this morning regarding the Bay Bay’s Kids vs. bebe’s kids question. He said I was right that it’s actually bebe’s kids. I’m pretty impressed with myself since I’m generally wrong about those kinds of things. I was thinking the reply would be […]



Good Game and Good News

Those of you who like pitchers duels got a dandy last night as the Mets won a 1-0 contest against the Diamondbacks. Those of you who like offense could have turned off your TVs after the second pitch of the game. That’s the pitch that Kaz Matsui blasted into the left field stands for the […]
