Notes From Last Night’s Game (7/25/2011)
R.A. Dickey had a good outing. Though he allowed 8 hits in his 6.2 innings of work he only allowed 2 runs while walking 1 and striking out 7. David Wright committed his third error in 4 games back from the DL. Four games is a small sample size and is no cause for alarm […]

Almost immediately after hearing the news I thought the Mets would move Daniel Murphy to third base and call up Nick Evans to play first base. Turns […]

The Mets have sent Ike Davis back to New York for an MRI on his ailing leg. Davis injured the leg last night in when he collided with David Wright while both were attempting to make a play on a popup in front of the mound. This is both bad news and good news. The […]
