Be Patient, A Big Move Will Come
It’s been a long offseason for Mets fans as the team has not yet made a major move. If my Twitter feed is any indication it looks like Mets fans are getting increasingly antsy as they wait for Omar Minaya to pull the trigger on a big deal. It’s times like these that I feel […]
Ten Mets Free Agents
The number of Mets players who have filed for free agency has now reached 10. They are: Moises Alou, Tony Armas Jr., Luis Ayala, Damion Easley, Orlando Hernandez, Pedro Martinez, Ramon Martinez, Oliver Perez, Ricardo Rincon and Matt Wise. The Mets Free Agency Tracker page will continue to track players who have filed for free […]
What a Shea-me
For the second straight year the Mets were eliminated on the last day of the season. It was a really sad way to say goodbye to Shea Stadium. Though you can’t say this years end was worse than last year’s it doesn’t make it any easier. The same things killed them yesterday that killed them […]
Wagner Still Hurting
The word is in on Billy Wagner and it’s… non committal. The Mets released a statement saying that Wagner continues to have swelling and pain in the elbow and he’ll need more rest. There was no mention of any specific damage or a timetable for Wagner’s return. Although there was no mention of the possibility […]
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 […]
Alou To Have MRI
Moises Alou will not be in the lineup tonight. That’s right. Two at bats after coming off the DL Alou will be undergoing an MRI instead. Alou was never expected to play every game but this is ridiculous.
Willie Not Only One Who Needs To Go
Looks like Willie Randolph survived the weekend and even got lukewarm votes of confidence from GM Omar Minaya and ownership. That should buy him at least a little time. I’m sure he knows that a vote of confidence with the current feelings around Shea are not much more than a momentary thing. He knows it […]
Alou DLed Again
In what could hardly be called a shocker Moises Alou was placed on the disabled list. An MRI yesterday showed he has a strained left calf. Catcher Raul Casanova was called up to take Alou’s space on the roster. Ideally the Mets would have called up an outfielder but in another display of their astounding […]
Notes From A Day Off
The Mets have some tough decisions to make today. It looks like Moises Alou is ready to begin his season. The scare with his foot (where they thought he may have a fracture) has passed. But how will the team make room for Alou? Common thinking is that if Brian Schneider is ready to return […]
