Quote of the Weekend
The quote of the weekend goes to manager Jerry Manuel. Commenting on Gary Sheffield‘s leg cramp after Friday nights game Manuel let loose with this missive: They’re calling it cramps… so, surgery on Thursday. Sometimes Manuel is a little too loose with his comments but this time he just said what everyone else was thinking.
Last Night: Perez, Santana, Sheffield
Johan Santana had 5 days of rest between his last start and the first game after the all star break. But for some reason the Mets chose to start Oliver Perez in last night’s game against the Atlanta Braves. Perez actually pitched a decent game allowing 5 hits and 3 runs in 6 innings. He […]
Gary Sheffield: To DL or Not To DL?
Gary Sheffield is out for tonight’s lineup. This will be the third game in a row. Though manager Jerry Manuel says he’s trying to keep Sheffield fresh it seems obvious that his knee is bothering him. The questions remains is it worth it to keep him on the roster in the hopes he’ll get better […]

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 […]

Stop Putz-ing Around
What a lousy way to lose a game and waste a good (but not great) start by Livan Hernandez. Hernandez followed up his complete game against Washington last week by holding the Pirates to 3 runs in 5.2 innings last night. It was not his best start of the year but it was enough to […]
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 […]
