Roster
Metsblog on Injury Status
I was going to post a piece about injury status but Matthew Cerrone already did over at Metsblog. Simply put there will be some roster changes for the weekend series in Arizona.
Tonight’s Lineup
Tonight’s lineup was posted a little while ago. As noted earlier Brian Schneider is back from an injury. Perhaps more notable is that Carlos Delgado is batting in the sixth slot in the order. Delgado has been horrific lately. I’m curious if this is in response to his .208 average with 1 home run or […]
Correction: Reyes To Play
Contrary to what I wrote in my last post Jose Reyes will be in the lineup tonight. Furthermore in contrast to what Willie Randolph said yesterday he has dropped Luis Castillo to the 8th slot in the order. Ryan Church will bat second. Moving Castillo down makes sense until he is healthy but I’d rather […]
Sanchez Activated, Reyes Still Sits
In injury news the Mets have activated Duaner Sanchez and optioned Frankie, I mean, Carlos Muniz. And Jose Reyes ran today but as of now is not in tonight’s lineup.
Pedro Could Be Out 8 Weeks
Thought an off day would bring no bad news? Then don’t continue reading. Omar Minaya said yesterday that Pedro Martinez will take a little longer to return to action. The original timetable of 4-6 weeks will actually end up being more like 6-8 weeks. That means more time with Nelson Figueroa and Mike Pelfrey in […]
Mets Sign Claudio Vargas
The Mets have signed Claudio Vargas to a minor league deal. Vargas will report to extended spring training in Port St. Lucie before going to AAA New Orleans. Given the state of the Mets rotation this is a good move. Depending on how long it takes Pedro Martinez to return and Orlando Hernandez to do […]
Phils Give One To Mets
The Mets won 8-2 last night. They beat the Phillies. Forgive me for not being more enthusiastic but Philadelphia was without their spark plug, Jimmy Rollins and committed 4 errors in the game which led to 6 unearned runs. This wasn’t so much the Mets winning as it was the Phillies losing. But as I […]
Shea Opener A Bust
Can somebody please tell me why Scott Schoeneweis is still pitching for the Mets? He blew another game yesterday. It was his first loss of the year but since he’s been with the team he has gone 0-3 with a 5.04 ERA. The obvious answer is that he’s under contract. But for what team? The […]
Castillo Leaves Game
Luis Castillo left today’s game in the fifth inning due to soreness in his right knee. Anyone surprised? Not me.
Wise DLed
The Mets have placed Matt Wise on the DL. Wise was not available for the Saturday and Sunday game of the Atlanta series due to soreness on his right forearm. The Mets are calling the injury a contusion. Carlos Muniz has been recalled to replace Wise. Muniz is a right hander with 2 years of […]
