Palmeiro Redux
“I have never taken steroids. Ever!” Those are the words that Rafael Palmeiro said under oath to a Congressional committee earlier this year. This was said partially in response to the committees questions and partially as a rebuttal to Jose Canseco, who claimed in his book that he had personally injected steroids into Palmeiro while […]
Stepped In What?
Talk about stepping in it. Rafael Palmeiro became the biggest player so far to be suspended under MLB’s new steroids policy. This is the same Palmeiro who, after being fingered as a steroids user in Jose Canseco’s book, went in front of Congress and, under oath, claimed to have never taken steroids before. Whether or […]
Congratulations… Not!
The Mets beat the Astros yesterday 9-4 ending the ‘Stros 7 game win streak. Pardon my cynicism but bug deal. They score 4 runs in the first 3 games in a hitters park and I’m supposed to congratulate them for scoring 9 runs in the fourth game? I don’t think so. On the plus side […]
Don’t Blame Hernández
The Mets wre tied going into the 9th inning last night in Houston. That’s when Roberto Hernandez entered the game with the mission of preserving the tie so the Mets bats would have a chance to win it in the 10th (yeah, right). Hernandez ended up losing the game. It’s easy to be upset at […]
Mets Salvage One
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. The Mets salvaged one game from their series against the Rockies last night. To lose 2 out of 3 at Coors was not a good thing and the team should be ashamed of themselves. VÃctor Zambrano (7 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 5 SO) […]

FOXSports.com’s Dayn Perry has an article on 5 trades that need to happen by sunday’s trade deadline. One of thos 5 trades is the Mets acquisition of Mariners first baseman Richie Sexson.
Larry Freakin’ Brown
The latest rumors sound a lot more serious and an announcement appears imminent so it’s time I sounded off about the Larry Brown to the Knicks situation. My feelings here are not that complex and can probably be summed up in one word: history. History as in Pat Riley. When Riley took over the Knicks […]
Alfonso Soriano
With the production the Mets are getting at second base this year it’s no wonder they’ve come up as a possible landing point for former Yankee and current Texas Rangers second baseman Alfonso Soriano in recent trade rumors. The combination of Kazuo Matsui, Miguel Cairo, Chris Woodward, Marlon Anderson and whoever else the team has […]
Another Bad Loss
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Remember what I said yesterday about giving the Mets a pass on their loss to the Rockies the night before? Nevermind. They couldn’t get it done again last night against the worst team in the league. This is a team you must beat if you’re going […]
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. I’ve said many times in this space that one of the keys to the Mets becoming a better team is to not only be able to play the better teams well but also to be able to consitantly beat the worse teams. Last night they proved […]
