And So The Injury List Begins
Twitter has been abuzz tonight with a rumor about bad Mets news. For over an hour Mets fans debated what the news may be. By 9:30 Sports Illustrated posted a story saying Carlos Beltran has had “minor” surgery on his knee and will miss 8-12 weeks. Shortly thereafter the Mets released a statement saying Beltran […]
My Thoughts On Bay Signing
Upon hearing the news that the Mets signed Jason Bay yesterday a friend of mine, who coincidentally is a Phillie fan, asked me via Facebook what my thoughts of Bay as a Met are. My response was as follows: I think the fourth year wasn’t necessary. He’s a good player and definitely adds some pop […]
Mets Sign Forever A Phillie Coste
Yesterday the Mets signed former Phillies and Astros catcher Chris Coste. The signing gives the Mets a veteran catcher to help out while Omir Santos and Josh Thole continue to develop. As always I want the players the Mets sign to excel (with the possible exception of the second time they signed Bobby Bonilla). It […]
Nice To Have Cora Back But What’s With This Contract?

Our Long Nightmare is Over: Takahashi Released

He pitched 27.1 innings allowing 23 hits, while striking out 23 and allowing 14 walks. His ERA was 2.96. Clearly this […]
Reyes To Have Surgery; Minaya To Blame?
The sad state of the Mets play as well as their injury list lead me to go dormant for a while but I saw a story this morning that infuriated me so that I needed to come out of hiding and discuss. It appears that Jose Reyes, who’s been on the DL since May, will […]
