Roster
Brown Replaces Ramon Martinez
Emil Brown was recalled from AAA Buffalo to replace Ramon Martinez on the active roster. Martinez was placed on the DL after dislocating his pinky sliding into home last night. Brown was acquired from the San Diego Padres on May 29 for a player to be named later.
Tonight’s Lineup vs. Pittsburgh 6/3/2009
This is the latest lineup for tonight’s game. Original lineup had Jeremy Reed in centerfield replacing Carlos Beltran but apparently beltran is feeling well enough to play so the order has been changed to accommodate. # Name Position 3 Alex Cora SS 1 Luis Castillo 2B 15 Carlos Beltran CF 10 Gary Sheffield RF 5 […]
Like Watching A Train Wreck
I can’t turn my back on this team for even a minute these days. On Monday I turned off the game to do some work when the Mets led 5-0 only to return in the 8th inning to see the tail end of J.J. Putz‘s meltdown. Then last night I had something to do during […]

Reyes, Church DLed; FMart Promoted
Jose Reyes was finally put on the disabled list yesterday, five days after I said he should be. It’s the right move but I still wonder why general manager Omar Minaya waited and kept manager Jerry Manuel shorthanded for those five extra days. Especially in light of Ryan Church‘s hamstring strain which kept him out […]
Reyes Not Going On DL But Should
After an MRI on his right leg today in New York the Mets announced that Jose Reyes has tendinitis behind his right calf. He’s listed as day-to-day and will not be put on the disabled list (DL). Given the Mets recent history handling injuries I have to wonder whether it would be a better idea […]
DeRosa Available?
Jon Heyman of si.com is reporting that the Cleveland Indians may be ready to trade versatile infielder Mark DeRosa. In light of the injury to Carlos Delgado this may be a good possibility for general manager Omar Minaya to investigate. Other possibilities that Minaya is reportedly interested in, such as Nick Johnson and Aubrey Huff, […]
Delgado Out 10 Weeks; Mets Out For Season?
Carlos Delgado‘s surgery went well and he’s expected to return to action in about 10 weeks. That would be the end of July. Will the Mets still be in the race by then? Probably not with their current solution in place at first base. The tag team of Fernando Tatis and Jeremy Reed would be […]
A Really Bad Day And Night For The Mets
One of the things I hate about the Mets playing on the west coast is that the games start too late for me to watch any appreciable amount of the game. From what I’ve read about last night’s game there wasn’t very much for Mets fans to appreciate. Let me count the ways: The Mets […]
