Ted Robinson Credits Art Howe
Over on MSG’s website Mets announcer Ted Robinson has posted a little article called “Credit Howe for recent resurgence“. This is a subject that I have wanted to write about for a little while but have not been able to gather up enough evidence to support the point. Robinson goes out on a limb here […]
Seo Good (or Getting Wiggy With It!)
A couple of bullet points on last night’s 4-1 win over the Marlins and a service note: Jae Seo pitched well continuing his great play against the Marlins. As I mentioned in a post yesterday, Seo was 2-1 with a 1.52 ERA in four outings against Florida in his career. Last night he went 6 […]
Marlins Come To Town
Jae Seo (2-4, 4.97 ERA) takes the mound against A.J. Burnett. This will be Burnett’s first start since April 25, 2003. Burnett underwent Tommy John surgery on April 29, 2003. Though winless in his last 2 starts, Seo has gone 2-1 with a 1.52 ERA in four outings against Florida. He pitched alright against the […]
Sunset At Dawn?
Today’s New York Post included the following ‘gem’ in it’s recap of last night’s Todd Zeile heroics: “If he keeps going like this, he’s going to have a hard time convincing me he’s walking into the sunset,” Art Howe said after Zeile’s incredible night delivered the Mets a dramatic 5-3, 10-inning win over the Phillies. […]
Zeile Does It Again!
Todd Zeile saved the day again hitting a homer in the 8th inning to tie the game and another one in the 10th to win it 5-3 and complete the sweep against the Phillies. Tom Glavine pitched well but didn’t figure into the decision. More comments later.
Glasses For Matsui?
I didn’t pay much attention to Peter Gammons the other day when he wrote the following in his ESPN.com column: Don’t be surprised if the Mets ask Kaz Matsui to switch places with Jose Reyes next year. But first they think they can address Matsui’s vision problems; part of his problem defensively is that he […]
Zeile Makes Like Hernandez
On the surface it would look like another frustrating start for a Mets pitcher. The starter only went 5 innings. But in this case it was alright since it was Al Leiter‘s first start since coming off the DL. The Senator allowed only 3 hits but walked 4. Overall Leiter looked good. The bullpen held […]
Another Minor Adjustment
An addendum to my previous post. I changed the background color and the text color that goes on that background. I was getting sick of the bright orange so I figured I’d try to mimic the black uniforms. Let me know what you think using the methods of contact listed in the previous post.
Minor Adjustments To The Blog
If you haven’t noticed I’ve made a few minor changes to the blog. I got rid of the calendar (bloglendar) on the left sidebar. It seemed redundant to have that now that Blogger supports a recent post list which I’ve been using. If you want to look up a posting from further back you can […]
Fielding Problems
The Mets have the second most errors in the game with 44 through yesterday’s action. Only the Detroit Tigers have more errors (48). Kaz Matsui leads all shortstops with 11. They also have the second worst fielding percentage in the league (just a shade above the Tigers again). So much for putting together a good […]
