Where Are All These Runs Coming From?
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. In the last two games the Mets have scored 32 runs. That’s the most runs they have scored since 1990. Pretty cool but I’d gladly trade a few of those runs for 1 or 2 where they would count more. Like the time Pedro Martinez pitched […]
Pedro Gets Rocked
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Pedro Martinez suffered his worst outing of the year in last night’s 8-3 loss to the Padres. San Diego is leading the NL West but has an identical record to the Mets. They are one of the teams the Mets must play better against if they […]
A Nice Night for a Game
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Last night I got to make a rare trip to Shea Stadium. I don’t go very often for myriad reasons. In fact I only go a few times a year. So when I go I like be treated to a good game. That’s what I got […]
Alfonso Soriano
With the production the Mets are getting at second base this year it’s no wonder they’ve come up as a possible landing point for former Yankee and current Texas Rangers second baseman Alfonso Soriano in recent trade rumors. The combination of Kazuo Matsui, Miguel Cairo, Chris Woodward, Marlon Anderson and whoever else the team has […]
Off Day Transactions
Omar Minaya used the off day to make some moves. Nothing earth shattering but just enough to rattle the roster. The first of the moves was the release of veteran right handed reliver Mike DeJean. DeJean had allowed 36 hits and 18 walks in 25 2/3 innings this season. The nail in the coffin for […]
Wake Up, Doug Mientkiewicz
Doug Mientkiewicz is about to get a wakeup call. Brian Daubach was called up from AAA Norfolk to take Miguel Cairo‘s roster spot after Cairo was placed on the DL. Daubach is a first baseman and outfielder with some pop. Like Mientkiewicz, Daubach doesn’t hit for good average but he’s agressive and has a little […]
What Was Willie Thinking?
Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game 1. Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game 2. I didn’t get to see much of either of the games yesterday but what I did see disgusted me. Needless to say that the little I saw was in the 6-3 opening loss and not the 12-1 […]
Robinson Got It Wrong Again
“A Cockeyed Optimist” has a post criticizing Mets announcer Ted Robinson for his anti-Matsui sentiment. I’m not a big fan of any of the Mets broadcast ‘talent’ nor am I a great Kazuo Matsui supporter. But this is a fair critique of Robinson.
Mets Thrown for a Loop-er
The Mets played a very good game yesterday. The bullet points are as follows: Pedro Martinez was shaky for the first few batters but then settled down and had a great outing the rest of the way. Carlos Beltran showed us why he’s making the big bucks by hitting a homer in his Mets debut. […]
Minor Acquisitions
In addition to signing Kelly Stinnett yesterday the Mets made a few other acquisitions. Infielder Benji Gil was acquired from the Seattle Mariners as infield insurance. Gil has major league experience but will be assigned to AAA Norfolk as insurance in case Jose Reyes or Kazuo Matsui gets hurt. Catcher Fernando Lunar was acquired to […]
