Where have you gone Andy Van Slyke?, a Pirates blog, sounds off on Anna Benson’s recent comments. He has some less than politically correct thoughts on Kris Benson as well.
Anna Benson Speaks
Anna Benson’s been speaking to the press. The wife of Mets pitcher Kris Benson‘s comments have been in many venues today but here’s one: ESPN.
Benson Baltimore Bound?
An intersting story broke in this morning’s New York Post reporting that the Mets are talking to the Baltimore Orioles about trading Kris Benson for Jorge Julio. The Mets have a large number of starting pitchers in the fold and certainly trading one for someone who can set up Billy Wagner is a good idea. […]
Parting Shot at Lloyd McClendon
I didn’t have time to gloat about this when it happened last week but Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon is no former Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon. Regular readers may remember my criticism of McClendon in the wake of the latest chapter of his war of words with former Pirate and current Met pitcher Kris Benson. The […]
Trachsel Joins Six Man Rotation
Steve Trachsel was activated from the DL yesterday ending what seemed to be an endless rehab assignment. It was also announced that he will be part of a six man rotation getting his first start Friday night between Pedro Martinez and Kris Benson. The six man rotation is not a bad idea this time of […]

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 […]
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. I’ve said many times in this space that one of the keys to the Mets becoming a better team is to not only be able to play the better teams well but also to be able to consitantly beat the worse teams. Last night they proved […]
