Mets Make Splash at Winter Meetings
It’s been a while since I posted and with all the action that went down during the winter meeting in Las Vegas last week I figured it’s time to post an update. The biggest news of the week occurred in the bullpen where the Mets made a splash with a couple of bold moves on […]
Glaus Walkoff Sinks Mets
Things were looking optimistic when I decided it was time to sleep last night at about 11:20. The 47 minute rain delay meant that at that hour it was still only the 7th inning and the Mets had taken the lead, 7-4. I didn’t know that Aaron Heilman, Pedro Feliciano and Carlos Muniz were about […]
Lifeless Mets Barely Beat Second Division Team
The Mets beat the Pirates last night thanks to one of the longest singles I’ve ever seen hit in my life. The hit came from the bat of David Wright in the 11th inning and scored Endy Chavez from third base. Usually when a team wins an extra innings game there are feelings of euphoria, […]

Alou Out 4-6 Weeks
That big grunt you heard from the south yesterday wasn’t a weather system working it’s way up the eastern seaboard. It was the collective reaction of everyone at Mets camp upon learning that Moises Alou is in need of hernia surgery and will be out 4-6 weeks. The surgery is scheduled to take place today […]
Arbitration Update
On Friday the Mets came to terms with Aaron Heilman on a one-year contract worth $1.2 million avoiding arbitration. That makes two arbitration eligible player signed (Duaner Sanchez is the other), five more to go. The team has exchanged numbers with the other five players (Endy Chavez, Ryan Church, Pedro Feliciano, Oliver Perez, Jorge Sosa). […]
Endy Hurts Other Hammy
It’s mid January. We’re heading down the home stretch of the off season with spring training starting next month. It’s been pretty much a quiet off season with the exception of the Lastings Milledge trade. From here on out we’ll start hearing about things that may or may not have ramifications on spring training. Look, […]
Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye
As expected the Mets non tendered Johnny Estrada yesterday. I’m not so sure that was the right move. But this officially makes the move of Guillermo Mota complete. The Mets essentially moved Mota and his salary to Milwaukee for nothing. Other Mets who were non tendered are Juan Padilla and Ben Johnson. The Mets did […]
Mets Entries in the 50 Greatest NLCS Moments
Over on ESPN.com they have posted their 50 greatest moments in LCS history. The Mets are represented nicely. Number 50 is Gary Carter’s home run in game 5 in 1986. Number 34 is Endy Chavez‘s stealing a home run from Scott Rolen in game 7 in 2006. Number 32 is the infamous Bud Harrelson vs. […]
Mets Wounded Update
Ramon Castro was placed on the DL over the weekend for his arthritic back. With Paul Lo Duca already on the shelf the Mets now ‘boast’ a catching tandem of Mike DiFelice and Sandy Alomar Jr. Endy Chavez played in his fourth rehab game in St. Lucie last night. He said he is ready to […]
