Easley Beats Nats in 14th
With Carlos Beltran sitting out with a stiff neck the Mets pulled off a 14 inning 3-2 win over the Nationals last night. (As usual the extra inning games always seem to end one inning after I go to bed.) The winning run was scored when Damion Easley ran home on a wild pitch. Easley […]
Phils Give One To Mets
The Mets won 8-2 last night. They beat the Phillies. Forgive me for not being more enthusiastic but Philadelphia was without their spark plug, Jimmy Rollins and committed 4 errors in the game which led to 6 unearned runs. This wasn’t so much the Mets winning as it was the Phillies losing. But as I […]
El Duque Starting Slow
It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted but interestingly enough not much has happened. Carlos Beltran had a mini war of words through the media with Jimmy Rollins after Beltran said the Mets were the team to beat this year. Oliver Perez handed the Mets organization their first arbitration loss in 16 years. […]
Rollins Named NL MVP
One of the most hated players by Mets fans, Jimmy Rollins, was named National League MVP for the 2007 season. Rollins irked Mets fans by proclaiming the Phillies to be the team to beat in the NL East before the season started. He went on to hit .296 with 30 home runes, 96 RBIs, 139 […]

Rollins Was Wrong: Mets Were Team To Beat, They Just Got Beat
Jimmy Rollins said before the season began that his Phillies were the team to beat. All Mets fandom scoffed at the comment. Today many people will give Rollins his due since his Phillies have prevailed to win the NL East. However despite the Mets dramatic fall (finishing a game out of first place after having […]
Wright is a Deity
The more I see of David Wright the more I like him. Wright is quickly ascending the ladder to sainthood in my mind. His game last night added some brownie points in his favor. I turned on the game in the third inning and watched as Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado homered to give the […]
Heilman Throws One Away
Yesterday the Mets announced that the starting rotation for the Milwaukee series this weekend will be Jeremi Gonzalez, Jose Lima and Pedro Martinez. One has to wonder if that affected Aaron Heilman‘s performance last night.
