Heilman Throws One Away
Yesterday the Mets announced that the starting rotation for the Milwaukee series this weekend will be Jeremi Gonzalez, Jose Lima and Pedro Martinez. One has to wonder if that affected Aaron Heilman‘s performance last night.
Banny’s Hammy
Brian Bannister‘s MRI yesterday showed a grade 1 hamstring straing. He is being listed as day-to-day. The DL hasn’t been ruled out but I expect him to miss a start and be replaced by Darren Oliver. If he goes on the DL then I think it’ll be either Jose Lima or John Maine. If I […]
I Can See (Second Base) Clearly Now
Kazuo Matsui has been placed on the disabled list. Jeff Keppinger has been sent to the minors. Bret Boone has retired. And the last man standing is Anderson Hernandez. What started out as a four man race to start at second base for the Mets has ended with rookie Hernandez getting the nod. This is […]
Willie’s Take on Looper
Willie Randolph went on the defensive yesterday about Braden Looper‘s status on the team. Here’s what Randolph responded to the question of if he would use someone else as the closer. At this point in the season, no. He’s my closer. He’s been my closer. He’s got the most saves of anybody on my team. […]
Graves Still Not Quite A Met – But Almost
Danny Graves wore a Mets uniform (no. 32), pitched batting practice (to batter Ramon Castro) and received a hug from Pedro Martinez but is still not officially a Met. Graves agents and the Mets are still working out the particulars of the 2006 portion of his contract. As soon as those details are worked out […]

Mike Piazza was hit by a foul ball in the top of the first and was out of the game when his turn came up in the batting order at the bottom of the inning. Ramon Castro replaced him and hit a double (his first extra base hit of the season) in the bottom of […]
Graves Not Quite A Met Yet
Marty Noble at mlb.com reports that Danny Graves worked out for the Mets at Shea today. Noble says that Graves has not yet signed but can be expected to be in uniform by the end of the week.
Graves Signs With Mets?
According to a report on ESPN.com the Mets have signed Danny Graves. I’ll have more on this when there’s official confirmation.
D-Day for Graves
According to a report by Ken Rosenthal the Atlanta Braves have dropped out of the Danny Graves sweepstakes. That leaves the Mets and the Florida Marlins the last two teams in the race. Rosenthal says Graves will sign with one of the two teams today. I think it would be great if the Mets got […]
Koo Goes On The DL
Dae-Sung Koo has been placed on the DL with a contusion on his left rotator cuff. The injury occurred when he jammed his pitching shoulder sliding headfirst into homeplate against the Yankees May 21. Despite a report in yesterday’s Daily News Steve Colyer was not recalled to replace Koo on the major league roster. Royce […]
