More On Delgado’s Non-Curtain Call

Last night’s game was rained out so we suffer through another day of talk about Carlos Delgado‘s non curtain call. Yay! (That’s me being facetious.) I was happy to see Darryl Strawberry on SNY last night saying that Delgado was right. Strawberry said that Delgado owed the booing fans nothing and that he used to […]



Schneider Back

It looks like Brian Schneider‘s bruised forearm is well enough to let him play tonight.



Cox & His Cigar: Who Cares?

In the last couple of days I’ve seen probably about a dozen stories asking what will happen when it comes time for Atlanta manager Bobby Cox to light his traditional post game cigar when the Braves visit Shea Stadium this weekend.

Mets At Cubs Today

I’ve been away for a few days but I’m back and ready to go now. And so are the Mets. They’ll be playing the Cubs today with first pitch coming up in about 15 minutes. The Mets are starting some backups today in typical day game after night game fashion. Angel Pagan will start against […]

Willie Randolph was dissed by the New York Post this morning. The post published it’s 2008 season preview this morning and the cover featured the line “New York’s comeback call to Johan’s Mets and Girardi’s Yankees”. No offense to Johan Santana but Randolph should have been mentioned there if Girardi is mentioned in reference to […]



Reed Johnson Signs With Cubs

Count Reed Johnson out as an option for the Mets in left field. The outfielder, cut from Toronto on Sunday, has signed with the Cubs for 1 year. It’s looking more and more like Angel Pagan will be in left field on opening day.
