More On Opening Day
I mentioned Cliff Floyd‘s outfield assist in throwing Alfonso Soriano out at the plate yesterday without having seen the play or hearing the audio. (My only knowledge of the play was from Yahoo’s GameChannel which I was using to ‘watch’ the game from work.) What I didn’t know and wouldn’t learn until I watched the […]
One Down, 161 To Go
The Mets won 3-2 at Shea today to start the season off with a victory.
Spring Training Notes
Thinsg are mostly quiet around Mets camp. There’s mostly just the usual spring training fair going on. Exhibition games. Players getting into shape. The continuing story of Pedro Martinez‘s preperation for this season with his bad toe and new shoes. There’s not really very much to talk about beyond the following 2 points: Tom Glavine […]
Daily News Joins the Bashing Lloyd McClendon Bandwagon
It looks like I have some company on the bashing Lloyd McClendon bandwagon. Perhaps picking up on yesterday’s Game Comments Ian Begley has an article entitled “Lloyd dead wrong about Wright” in today’s New York Daily News. Here are the first 2 paragraphs of the article: Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon may wish to stop getting […]
Fate Says No-No to Pedro
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Pedro Martinez showed yesterday why he’s one of the best pitchers in the game. After getting rocked in his last outing he pitched a gem yesterday, taking a no hitter into the eighth inning and finnishing with a complete game 2-hitter (2 ER, 1 BB, 5 […]
Tough Day
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. As I predicted yesterday, Tom Glavine pitched well enough to win (7 IP, 9 H, 2 ER). Unfortunately fate had other plans. In the bottom of the 7th inning Carlos Beltran and Mike Cameron dived at the same ball in right center and collided with each […]

Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Last night I got to make a rare trip to Shea Stadium. I don’t go very often for myriad reasons. In fact I only go a few times a year. So when I go I like be treated to a good game. That’s what I got […]
Why Piazza is an All-Star
Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game. Mike Piazza proved yesterday why he was selected as the NL’s starting catcher in next week’s MLB All-Star game. With the score tied at 2 in the top of the 11th inning should be All-Star Cliff Floyd was intentionally walked because Washington manager Frank Robinson would rather […]
Lineup Change
The Mets lost 2 out of 3 to the Marlins over the weekend but then came back to beat the Nationals 5-2 yesterday… Alot has been made of Willie Randolph’s reshuffled lineup yesterday. The lineup saw Jose Reyes batting seventh for the first time in his major league career, Carlos Beltran batting second, Cliff Floyd […]

Jose Reyes triples (his league leading 9th of the season). Chris Woodward gets 2 hits and knocks in 2 runs from the 8th hole in the […]
