Davis Needs Fans Support
The Mets have pulled the trigger on the Ike Davis call up. He’s been pulled from the Buffalo Bison’s lineup this afternoon and will instead be traveling to CitiField where he will be on the roster for tonight’s game. Now comes the hard part. We all know Davis can play. He’s proven it at the […]
When Things Start Bad
We’re only 6 games into the season so it’s a little early to get too negative. But losing 4 out of 6 (including 2 of 3 from the lowly Washington Nationals) is not the way you want to start the season. So why am I so down on the Mets already? A few reason: Sean […]

Mt. Beltran Finally Blows

It’s an excellent book that breaks down different areas of statistical performance and tries to correlate which ones winning teams excel at. One of the things Perry discusses […]
