Pitching Matchups Vs. Phillies

Chase Utley has been held out of two of the last three games for the Phillies and apparently is day to day with a hip injury. When Phillies manager Charlie Manuel was asked about Utley’s availability against the Mets tonight he said “We’ll have to wait and see.” Tonight – Chan Ho Park (0-1, 8.57) […]



Come On Manuel, Light Their Fire

I was looking through some of the Philadelphia papers this morning to see what the Philly sports writer’s there are saying about the Mets. I was actually surprised to see considerably less venom than anticipated. In fact, aside from a John Gonzalez column in the Philadelphia Inquirer, there was no derision at all. So much […]

The Sad Case of Nelson Figueroa

On Sunday Nelson Figueroa started for the Mets in place of Mike Pelfrey. He pitched pretty well allowing 5 hits and 3 runs in 6 innings. Many, including me, thought that the Mets would keep him on in a long relief role at least until Tim Redding was able to return. We thought wrong. On […]



Citi Opener Ends Badly

The Mets had a great comeback last night capped with a David Wright home run, his first of the season and the first regular season home run for a Met at CitiField. The problem is that the comeback came in the 5th inning and only tied the game. The Mets would not score another run […]
