Mets in the News
Reyes Not Going Anywhere
Get used to seeing Jose Reyes in a Mets uniform. The star shortstop signed an extension that will keep him in Flushing at least through the 2010 season with a club option for 2011. Congratulation, Jose.
Endy Chávez, Hero
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. What’s with Endy Chavez lately?

Reyes: Player of the Week… Again
I don’t think my praise of Jose Reyes yesterday had anything to do with this but Reyes was named NL Player of the Week yesterday. It was the second week in a row he won the award. The first time he shared it with teammate David Wright. Ths time he gets it solo and it’s […]

Gooden Feels Rock Bottom
The New York Post‘s Brian Costello did a jailhouse interview with Dwight Gooden. You can read about it in today’s edition. Among other things Costello relates that Gooden feels like he’s hit rock bottom and hopes that the experience of being in jail will get him back on track. I hope so too, Doc.
Hamels Out, Lieber In
