Game Comments
Santana Starts Season Wright
Johan Santana‘s first start as a Met lived up to all the hype as the Mets scored a 7-2 win over the Florida Marlins on opening day. The stud offseason pickup who will make more money this season than the whole Marlins team pitched 7 innings allowing 2 earned runs on 3 hits while walking […]
Bullpen Blows 300
The bullpen blew the game last night so Tom Glavine will have to wait another few days before trying for win number 300 again. Though the bullpen blew the game the offense must take some of the blame too. They simply must score more runs before they can be taken seriously as a championship contender.
Maine Can Hit Too
You knew things were going the Mets way last night when John Maine came to bat in the fourth inning with the Mets already leading 4-2. Maine just tried to make contact with the ball but ended up hitting a two run homer to left field. The blast had Mets broadcasters Gary Cohen and Keith […]
El Duque Deals and Steals

Queens is Burning
What a crazy day yesterday was. Rick Down was fired as hitting coach. Rickey Henderson was added to the coaching staff but to an unannounced position. He may be hitting coach but so may Howard Johnson who filled the duty last night as Henderson couldn’t get to New York from Oakland in time for the […]
Easley Plays Long Ball
The Mets offense got a boost from an unlikely source yesterday when Damion Easley hit a 3 run homer off of Arizona closer Jose Valverde to cap a Mets rally in the ninth and give New York a 9-4 victory over the Diamondbacks in the opener of a four game weekend series. David Wright also […]
The Oliver Pérez Conundrum
Click here for a recap of Wednesday’s game. I’m not one to panic. Especially this early in the season. But last night’s game brings a question to mind that the Mets will need to answer sooner or later. How long is too long to wait for potential to turn into consistent performance? I’m talking, of […]
A Loss and a Win
Click here for a recap of Sunday’s game. Click here for a recap of Monday’s game. Sunday’s game didn’t work out as I planned. I was feeling like the game was going to turn during Orlando Hernandez‘s last inning of work. I felt like he was running out of steam. But it was the bullpen […]
