Big Series Starts Tonight
A big series with the Phillies starts tonight and all eyes will be on Billy Wagner. The current Met and former Phillies closer had an MRI today after feeling some discomfort on Sunday. He’s been diagnosed with a muscle spasm and is considered day to day. Wagner is a big part of the Mets bullpen […]
Ready for the Second Half
The Mets had a tumultuous first half of the season that included a managerial change but ended it with a surge as they won their last 9 games to pull within a half game of the first place Phillies. The team obviously cannot continue to play at the level they have in the last 9 […]
Wright In All Star Game
David Wright didn’t win this week vote for the final spot on the National League All Star Team but he’s going to Yankee Stadium anyway courtesy of Alfonso Soriano‘s injury. Soriano is on the DL for the second time this season and will not be able to play so NL manager Clint Hurdle named Wright […]
Alou Out For Season
It turns out that the hamstring cramp that caused Moises Alou to leave a rehab game the other day is actually a tear. Doctors are recommending surgery and Alou is expected to miss the rest pf the season. There is some buzz that this could lead to retirement for him. The loss of Alou for […]
The Other Reyes Is In Today’s Lineup
Argenis Reyes is in the lineup today at second base. It’ll be his first start for the Mets. He’s played very well the last couple of days going 3 for 4 with 2 runs and an RBI coming off the bench. He had a heads up play advancing to second on an errant throw last […]
Mets Beginning To Meet Expectations, Even Alou
The Mets seem to be heading into the All Star break on a high note. They’re finally beginning to hit expectations. They’ve won six of their last seven games and have cut the Phillies lead to 1.5 games. They seem to be hitting on all cylinders right now despite their starting second baseman and corner […]
Vote Wright
Mets third baseman David Wright did not make the All-Star team but his chances aren’t dead yet. MLB is taking votes for the fans to name the last member of both teams and Wright is among the the 5 nominees for the National League. You can vote now on MLB’s site or use the handy […]
What’s Going On With Church’s Head?
Ryan Church left yesterday’s game with dizziness. The Mets have said that the dizziness was due to a migraine and that Church has a history of migraines. I’m curious how they draw the distinction between dizziness from a migraine and dizziness from post concussion syndrome. I’m not a medical person so I don’t have the […]
Shut Up, Hubbuch
What is New York Post Mets beat writer Bart Hubbuch’s problem? For the second time in less than a month he’s written a piece that seems aimed at causing trouble. On June 22 Hubbuch wrote a very negative piece on Mets Manager Jerry Manuel’s comments likening Mets fans to fertilizer. He took the fertilizer line […]
Glaus Walkoff Sinks Mets
Things were looking optimistic when I decided it was time to sleep last night at about 11:20. The 47 minute rain delay meant that at that hour it was still only the 7th inning and the Mets had taken the lead, 7-4. I didn’t know that Aaron Heilman, Pedro Feliciano and Carlos Muniz were about […]
