Profiles From An Off Day
With the day off yesterday and nothing real in the news there’s really not much for me to write about. However, there are several good articles in the newspapers today about the boys from Shea so here’s a sampling: Mets’ Wright Has It All Except an Attitude – Lee Jenkins, NY Times Mets: Randolph feels […]
What Was Willie Thinking?
Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game 1. Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game 2. I didn’t get to see much of either of the games yesterday but what I did see disgusted me. Needless to say that the little I saw was in the 6-3 opening loss and not the 12-1 […]
Koo, Koo, Ka-choo
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. I haven’t had a chance to read very much today but I’m sure that many people are questioning Willie Randolph’s call to have Dae-Sung Koo come in to pitch the 9th inning instead of Braden Looper. I actually have no problem with this call outside of […]
Cameron in Center?
According to Lee Jenkins in this morning’s New York Times former Mets center fielder and current Mets right fielder Mike Cameron offered his center field services to Willie Randolph should Randlph choose to give current center fielder Carlos Beltran a day off. Randolph commented about this by saying “What Mike did says a lot about […]
Decisions, Decisions
It’s going to be an interesting next week or so for the Mets brass as they have alot of decisions to make. A couple of roster moves were made yesterday but they cloud the picture more than they clear it up. Kazuhisa Ishii was activated off of the 15-day disabled list to start tonight’s game […]
DÃaz Replaces Hot Floyd
Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game. Imagine yourself a major league manager. Your team is playing well, you have injured players returning to active duty and your team seems poised to turn the corner and make some noise. Today you will see your number 3 starter pitch his first game of the season […]
Ramón Castro: Pedro’s Personal Catcher?
Ramon Castro got the start last night at catcher in place of Mike Piazza. This is getting to be a habit for Willie Randolph when Pedro Martinez starts and the media has been taking every opportunity to point this out. Castro is starting to be called Pedro’s personal catcher by the media. I don’t understand […]
Quote of the Day
“I can’t say enough about my bench. They’ve been doing a good job all year. That’s why I like to get them in the game. I’m always surprised every time I make a change, everyone wants to know, ‘Why?’ They’re a part of my team. These guys are ready to contribute, ready to play.” – […]
Floyd Still Made of Glass?
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Another character builder last night. Kazuhisa Ishii matched Roger Clemens as both pitched 7 innings allowing only 2 hits each. Jose Reyes eventually knocked in the game winning run in the 11th inning for a 1-0 victory. Cliff Floyd sat out the game with a strained […]
Robinson & Healy Getting It Wrong?
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. In the eighth inning of the game Willie Randolph made a double switch that took Doug Mientkiewicz out of the game and inserted pitcher Mike DeJean in his slot in the order while putting Chris Woodward in at first base to bat in the pitcher’s slot […]
