Goodbye Cliff, Hello Moises
The Mets affectively cut Cliff Floyd loose with yesterday’s signing of Moises Alou. According to general manager Omar Minaya Alou will be the regular left fielder next season making Floyd, affectionately called ‘glass’ by fans, expendable.

No Replay for Jets
Everyone is up in arms over the non-review in the last seconds of the Jets game yesterday. Though I agree that the play should have been reviewed (if the rules state that it could not be reviewed then the rules need to be changed) I must say that the fact that the play was even […]
Game 7 Double Play
I posted video of Shawn Green‘s great double play in game 1 of the NLDS against the Dodgers so it’s only fair that I post video of Endy Chavez‘s even more exciting double play from game 7 of the NLCS against the Cardinals. The Mets may have lost the series but there are definitely several […]
Mets Strike Out Looking
The whole season came down to this. Down by two runs with two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning of game 7 and the bases were loaded. Who came to the plate? None other than the $119 million man: Carlos Beltran. When the Mets signed Beltran to that huge contract before the 2005 […]
Sour Grapes for Pujols
One down, 3 more to go. My favorite part of lasts nights 2-0 Mets win was when Carlos Beltran fired the ball to Carlos Delgado at first base after catching the ball in center field to double up Albert Pujols who made the baserunning error of moving too far away from the bag. Pujols was […]
R.I.P. Cory Lidle
By now anyone reading this knows about the incident in which former Mets and ‘current’ Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle was killed. The story has been all over the news in the last 24 plus hours. Nobody would confuse Lidle with Thurman Munson, the Yankees catcher and captain who lost his life in a place crash […]
Game 1 Double Play
For anyone who missed the big play of game 1 or if you just want to live it again. Enjoy.
Pedro Out of Post Season
It was fairly obvious after Wednesday night’s horrible start that Pedro Martinez would not be starting game 1 of the NLDS. He didn’t look good. He didn’t feel good. What wasn’t obvious was what would be announced late yesterday. That Pedro suffered a torn tendon in his left calf. That is not the calf that […]
Savannah Sand Gnats, er, I Mean Mets
For the second time in a week the Mets have made an announcement about their minor league affiliates for next season. Last week they announced that the New Orleans Zephyrs will replace the Norfolk Tides at the AAA level. This week they announced a two-year deal with the Savannah Sand Gnats to become the Mets’ […]
