Mets Miss Wagner In Loss
I said yesterday that the Mets need Billy Wagner healthy. Last night was why. Manager Jerry Manuel was informed before the game that Wagner needed the night off to give his shoulder some rest and allow the spasms he’s ben diagnosed with to subside.

A big series with the Phillies starts tonight and all eyes will be on Billy Wagner. The current Met and former Phillies closer had an MRI today after feeling some discomfort on Sunday. He’s been diagnosed with a muscle spasm and is considered day to day. Wagner is a big part of the Mets bullpen […]
Mets Win In 13th
I sat down to watch the game last night at about 10 minutes to 8:00 pm. The game was already into the fourth inning. I saw Mike Pelfrey retire the last batter of the half inning then SNY cut to a commercial. When the bottom half of the inning started I got comfortable and was […]
Time To Panic?
I wrote yesterday that it’s too early to panic. But after yesterday’s horrific loss I’m beginning to think that maybe it’s not too early. Oliver Perez looked horrible and made me question whether I actually want this team to make the playoffs. can you imagine this guy taking the mound when a playoff series is […]
Easley Beats Nats in 14th

Noble Talks With Wagner

Last Week’s Missed Events
Looks like I took the wrong week to miss posting to the blog. Last Sunday, August 5, Tom Glavine won the 300th game of his career. Glavine allowed 6 hist and 2 earned runs in 6.1 innings en route to an 8-3 Mets victory. Two days later Barry Bonds hit his 756th career home run […]

Mota’s Apology Not Accepted
Guillermo Mota had been brought in to fill a hole in the bullpen when Duaner Sanchez was hurt in a cab accident in Miami just before last years trade deadline. Six months later he’s needed again to cover for a Sanchez injury but will not be able to answer the call because of his suspension. […]
