Davis Hiding Injury Irksome
I root for Ike Davis. Like any other member of the Mets I want him to succeed. But then the New York Post breaks a story about how Davis hid an injury and it upsets me. The injury, to his oblique, occurred while he was struggling early last season and was on the verge of […]
Don’t Expect Too Much From Wheeler
In today’s New York Post columnist Steve Serby discusses Zack Wheeler‘s first start, scheduled for the second game of today’s day-nigh doubleheader with the Atlanta Braves, with Mets great Tom Seaver. In it Seaver warns Mets fans not to judge Wheeler too quickly. Seaver said the following (directed more toward Wheeler than to fans: “It’s […]
Return of the JET-I
This could be the best New York Post cover ever marrying Star Wars with this week’s showdown between the New York Jets and New England Patriots. They even incorporated Michelle Ryan, wife of Jets head coach Rex, as Princess Leia and Joe Namath as Yoda.
Fred Wilpon Is An Ass
Fred Wilpon is an ass. When asked today if Omar Minaya will be the Mets GM next season Wilpon responded “Is the sun going to come up tomorrow?”. Oh, he’s not an ass for keeping Minaya as GM (or maybe he is, but that’s a different rant). It’s the way he answered the question. While […]
Phillips Front Page News Again And I Don’t Care
On a morning where the big story of the day should be the Yankees coming within one win of yet another World Series appearance the New York Post decided to run a front page story on former Mets general manager Steve Phillips.

On April 1 it looked like it would be a big season for Nick Evans. He had earned a spot on the Mets opening day roster after batting .263 with 3HRs and 12 RBIs in spring training and was headed to New York for the Mets last 2 exhibition games against the Red Sox at […]
Kernan’s Odd Comment
I wrote a post last August regarding a column that Kevin Kernan had written in the New York Post on Sunday August 26. At the time the Mets had a 6 game lead on the Phillies with 34 games left to play. The Mets were playing good baseball and had what appeared to be a […]
Shut Up, Hubbuch
What is New York Post Mets beat writer Bart Hubbuch’s problem? For the second time in less than a month he’s written a piece that seems aimed at causing trouble. On June 22 Hubbuch wrote a very negative piece on Mets Manager Jerry Manuel’s comments likening Mets fans to fertilizer. He took the fertilizer line […]
Sherman: What If Torre Was A Met?
In his blog for the New York Post Joel Sherman writes about Joe Torre managing the Mets instead of the Dodger.
Lifeless Mets Barely Beat Second Division Team
The Mets beat the Pirates last night thanks to one of the longest singles I’ve ever seen hit in my life. The hit came from the bat of David Wright in the 11th inning and scored Endy Chavez from third base. Usually when a team wins an extra innings game there are feelings of euphoria, […]
