Mets Bullpen Loses Another One
There’s nothing positive to take from yesterday’s game except that at least the bullpen is treating other starters the same way they treat Johan Santana. Yesterday’s victim was Pedro Martinez who pitched 6 innings of 3 hit ball only to be undone by the bullpen who collectively allowed 5 hits and 6 runs over 3 […]
Mets Win
The Mets ended up pulling off a win after the lousy bullpen blew another Johan Santana win. It took a walk off homer by David Wright to get it done but at least they won.
This Bullpen Sucks
Right around now you know what Johan Santana is thinking: “You’ve got to be kidding me!” For the sixth time this season Santana left the game with a lead that was lost by the bullpen. The game isn’t over yet (it’s still in the top of the 9th) but you know Santana has to be […]
Mets Miss Wagner In Loss
I said yesterday that the Mets need Billy Wagner healthy. Last night was why. Manager Jerry Manuel was informed before the game that Wagner needed the night off to give his shoulder some rest and allow the spasms he’s ben diagnosed with to subside. Due to a very good start by Johan Santana in which […]
Big Series Starts Tonight
A big series with the Phillies starts tonight and all eyes will be on Billy Wagner. The current Met and former Phillies closer had an MRI today after feeling some discomfort on Sunday. He’s been diagnosed with a muscle spasm and is considered day to day. Wagner is a big part of the Mets bullpen […]
Alou Out For Season
It turns out that the hamstring cramp that caused Moises Alou to leave a rehab game the other day is actually a tear. Doctors are recommending surgery and Alou is expected to miss the rest pf the season. There is some buzz that this could lead to retirement for him. The loss of Alou for […]
Mets Beginning To Meet Expectations, Even Alou
The Mets seem to be heading into the All Star break on a high note. They’re finally beginning to hit expectations. They’ve won six of their last seven games and have cut the Phillies lead to 1.5 games. They seem to be hitting on all cylinders right now despite their starting second baseman and corner […]
Mets Lose Manuel Debut
Looks like the managerial change didn’t spark the Mets. In the first game since Jerry Manuel took the managers reins from Willie Randolph the Mets lost 6-1 to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Team could field behind Johan Santana. They couldn’t support him with runs either. On other bad news Jose Reyes hurt […]
Fired: Randolph, Peterson, Nieto
It finally happened. After the beating the Angels 9-6 general manager Omar Minaya finally dropped the ax on manager Willie Randolph. The win was the fourth in six games so one has to believe that there was something else going on. Either Randolph was resistant to suggested changes from ownership or Minaya was just waiting […]
Tonight’s Lineup
Tonight’s lineup was posted a little while ago. As noted earlier Brian Schneider is back from an injury. Perhaps more notable is that Carlos Delgado is batting in the sixth slot in the order. Delgado has been horrific lately. I’m curious if this is in response to his .208 average with 1 home run or […]
