Minor moves. Major problem. That sentiment is essentially what the Mets hinted towards their fans this week when they demoted Ike Davis, Mike Baxter and Robert Carson to Las Vegas while designating Rick Ankiel for assignment. The constant underperforming and lackluster baseball finally caught the wrath of GM Sandy Alderson. No more will there be [...]
For the second straight year, David Wright is in line to be snubbed from the starting NL lineup in the All-Star game. And for the second straight year, the public outrage ensues. But who’s to blame for this fiasco and what can be done to fix it? When this first happened last year, fans took [...]
Generally speaking, if we have a large enough sample, we can make pretty good judgments on a player based on his statistics. If you never saw them play, it would be easy to look at numbers and determine that Dave Kingman had great power, John Olerud had a great eye and Jose Reyes was a [...]
It took the Mets thirty innings, ten hours and one rainout to lose two more games to the Miami Marlins over the weekend. That makes five straight losses to Miami, over successive weekends. Let that sink in for a minute. The Miami. Marlins. The Marlins, who have won just 18 of their 63 games. The [...]
With 40 Rounds and the Mets selecting players between 11th overall and 1196th overall, the draft can seem daunting. This is a cheat sheet for Met fans who want to know about their draft picks without doing hours of research. 11th: Dominic Smith Position – He’s a solid first baseman and could be the first [...]
The following story is respectfully offered for your consideration. It concerns two people—Ike Davis and Lucas Duda —but they are from another galaxy and another time. They live quite simply in the Twilight Zone. Okay so they’re not from another galaxy and another time. But after hearing Sandy Alderson’s comments on WFAN Monday, it’s quite [...]
The Mets are 58 games into the 2013 season. A miserable season so far, to be sure, highlighted by their dreadful outfield. Much has already been said about the Mets terrible outfield this year. It's very bad, in case you hadn't noticed. Not only is the outfield a point of poor performance for the team, [...]
By now you have most likely heard the news that the Mets plan to demote Mike Baxter, Robert Carson and Ike Davis, with an official announcement coming Monday morning. If it took being embarrassed by the last-place Marlins for these very necessary steps to happen then that seems like a small price to pay to [...]
Usually Terry Collins never misses a chance to use a lefty reliever. If you recall, he spent much of the previous two seasons bellyaching about not having a second lefty to utilize out of the bullpen. So it was a bit surprising in a game that lasted 20 innings and one in which the Mets [...]

For the last two days the Mets have been rained out. Two consecutive days without baseball could be considered a long time. For Juan Lagares, it may seem like an eternity. You see, Lagares rarely plays (he’s appeared in only 26 games this year while only making 56 plate appearances since his debut on April [...]
