Clemens-McNamee: Just Plain Weird
I’ve been following the Roger Clemens story a little and am really amazed by how this is playing out. It’s just weird. For those who haven’t been following the story Clemens was named in the Mitchell report as someone who had taken performance enhancing drugs. The source for this information was his former trainer Brian […]
Mitchell Report Is Out
The Mitchell report was released a little earlier this afternoon. Several names familiar to Mets fans were included. One of those names is Todd Hundley. While with the Mets in 1996, a break out 41 homer year for the former catcher, Hundley bought steroids from Kirk Radomski on at least 3 occasions. Hundley was a […]
Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye
As expected the Mets non tendered Johnny Estrada yesterday. I’m not so sure that was the right move. But this officially makes the move of Guillermo Mota complete. The Mets essentially moved Mota and his salary to Milwaukee for nothing. Other Mets who were non tendered are Juan Padilla and Ben Johnson. The Mets did […]

The Mets have several players in this category including Oliver Perez, Aaron Heilman, Pedro Feliciano, Duaner Sanchez and the […]
Segui: I Took Steroids
The Baltimore Sun reported in this morning’s edition that former Met David Segui admitted to using steroids he purchased from former Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski. But Segui refused to talk with former Sen. George Mitchell because he didn’t want to rat out other players or get caught in speculation about other players. Radomski did […]
Schoeneweis Off The Hook
Mets reliever Scott Schoeneweis avoided suspension yesterday when MLB announced that Jose Guillen and Jay Gibbons would be suspended for the first 15 days of the 2008 season for receiving shipments of human growth hormone (HGH). MLB decided that there was insufficient evidence to suspend Schoeneweis.
Willis, Cabrera Go To Detroit
The Florida Marlins have traded Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera to the Detroit Tigers for 6 prospects. That’s good news for the Mets as they will not have to deal with the players anymore. However it means that the Mets have missed out on another good pitcher this off season. Though it seems like Omar […]
