Pelfrey Does Well in First Spring Outing
Mike Pelfrey pitched well yesterday. In two innings he allowed one hit, struck out one and faced the minimum 6 batters. It’s too early to prognosticate about Pelfrey’s spot on the 2008 team. He’s the Mets sixth starter which means he’s going to have to do a lot more of that to make the roster […]
Many Open Questions
With spring training starting this week it’s time to to ask some questions that the Mets will be facing this season. Here are some I came up with. Feel free to leave your own in the comments. Top of the rotation – This is what Mets fans have been dreaming of all off season. Johan […]
Non-Stories
In about a month pitchers and catchers report and we’ll start hearing news that is blog worthy. But for the last couple of months things have been very quiet. So I find it odd that some blogs still find a way to post several times a day. One blog in particular has been posting 52 […]
Mr. Met Trashes Willie Randolph
I’m a little slow posting this but the New York Post featured a cartoon by Sean Delonas on October 2 that summed up Mets fans feelings toward Willie Randolph after the clubs demise this past season. The cartoon, pictured below, was published before general manager Omar Minaya announced that Randolph would return next season. Cartoon […]
Minaya Tabs Randolph As Manager For 2008
Mets GM Omar Minaya announced yesterday that Willie Randolph will be back managing the Mets in 2008. Although the collapse of the team still stings it’s nice to see Minaya make a quick move here rather than let the issue languish into a controversy. Many fans are still calling for Randolph’s head but that’s because […]
Rollins Was Wrong: Mets Were Team To Beat, They Just Got Beat
Jimmy Rollins said before the season began that his Phillies were the team to beat. All Mets fandom scoffed at the comment. Today many people will give Rollins his due since his Phillies have prevailed to win the NL East. However despite the Mets dramatic fall (finishing a game out of first place after having […]
It’s Still Not Over
I haven’t written much this month and am not likely to write regularly for the next couple of weeks. And, though I’m not very superstitious, I felt I should write something in the hopes that it would break the horrid slump the team has been in since my last post. Since that post on September […]
Pedro Returns
Pedro Martinez‘s return from surgery has been widely reported in many venues since it was announced before Friday’s game but I thought I would mention it here anyway. Pedro will make the Labor Day start this afternoon against the Cincinnati Reds. It’s a pretty good time to get Pedro back. Though the Mets swept the […]
Sweep Proves Me Right
I wrote the other day criticizing Kevin Kernan‘s column in last Sunday’s New York Post in which he proclaimed the race in the NL East over. After the Mets got swept in a four game series in Philadelphia yesterday I now have the sad privilege of gloating. A 6 game lead has turned into a […]
The Race Is Not Over
New York Post columnist Kevin Kernan wrote a column for yesterday’s edition entitled “It’s Not Over Yet, But NL East Race is Over”. Kernan’s contention isn’t so much that the Mets have a big enough lead. after all, it’s still August and 6 game leads are still erasable. Instead he thinks that the Phillies and […]
