Roster
Santana Has Surgery
The Mets are set to have a press conference today presumed to be an announcement of Omar Minaya’s contract extension (3 years at $6 million?). But I think the questions asked by the press will be more centered around Johan Santana than they will around Minaya. It was surprisingly announced yesterday that Santana had arthroscopic […]
Tatis Done For Year
Despite their recent struggles you can’t stick a fork in the Mets quite yet. Fernando Tatis, on the other hand, is done. At least for the year. He suffered a separated right shoulder when he attempted to make a diving catch. Tatis hit .297 with 11 home runs and 47 RBIs and was a star […]
Wagner Done For Year
Look out Mets fans! The sky is falling! After feeling pain during a simulated game yesterday Billy Wagner is officially out for the season. He will have surgery to repair a torn MCL in his left elbow that will keep him on the shelf the rest of this season and probably well into next season. […]
Bullpen to the Rescue!
Who would have thought the bullpen would come to the rescue of a young rookie having a not so goo debut. That happened last night when Jonathon Niese suffered the worst start of his major league career. After being staked to a 5-1 lead Niese allowed Milwaukee to tie the game up before being lifted […]
Mets Will Probably Promote Niese
There are reports that the Mets will recall Jon Niese to replace John Maine in the rotation. Niese is 5-1 with a 3.65 ERA in six starts at AAA New Orleans. I’m pretty sure this will happen after rosters expand in September so Niese ill not be available in the post season. Oliver Perez is […]
Maine To DL
John Maine has been placed on the DL with bone spurs in his right shoulder. This is not good news for the Mets who need every arm they can get. There is no word yet weather this is the end of Maine’s season or not.
Mets Add Another Reyes
According to reports the Mets have decided that they will not stand pat in the bullpen following the news of Billy Wagner‘s continued convalescence. Instead they have signed a third Reyes, Al Reyes. Unlike anyone else on the Mets roster the new Reyes has previous regular closing experience, having served that role for Tampa Bay […]
Wagner Still Hurting
The word is in on Billy Wagner and it’s… non committal. The Mets released a statement saying that Wagner continues to have swelling and pain in the elbow and he’ll need more rest. There was no mention of any specific damage or a timetable for Wagner’s return. Although there was no mention of the possibility […]
Wagner To Be Examined Today
Billy Wagner will be examined again today after which I expect to hear an announcement about some sort of elbow injury that will require him to be out an extended period of time. Let see them prove me wrong.
Bullpen Cause For Alarm
The Mets bullpen proved again this afternoon that the best way to win a game is not call on them. Following Johan Santana‘s complete game shutout yesterday Brian Stokes came in in the 6th inning to relieve John Maine who had thrown 96 pitches already. Stokes gave up a 2 run homer to allow the […]
