"Outside of the traffic, I feel like it's a great place for me," he said after yesterday's gem. "And that's the honest answer. I enjoy the culture. I enjoy the people. The fans, they're tough fans, but they just like to win. And I get that. As a Tennessee Titan fan, I feel the same [...]
Editor's Note: The chart listed below is not the same as the one on the original site because I could not get it to copy over. All of the numbers are the same - the layout is different. "Below is a comparison between Santana’s season and CC Sabathia‘s season, who earned his 18th win of [...]
With a little over a month left in the 2010 season, Mike Pelfrey is closing in on a feat last accomplished in 2003. He has a legitimate chance to be the team leader in wins on a pitching staff that includes Johan Santana. Pelfrey turned in eight scoreless innings on Friday night to match a [...]
"As an aside, sacrifice flies don't count as a turn at bat and therefore don't negatively affect a hitter's batting average, but they're almost always just regular fly outs with the singular and fortunate (from the batter's perspective) distinction that a runner happened to be on third base (or second!) at the time. Occasionally a [...]
That's a huge percentage, because they sit in the middle of the order," Manuel said. "It puts pressure on the complementary pieces in the order. When you don't get that production there, and then the complementary pieces aren't living up to the expectations you have for them, it makes it tough. But you can get [...]
Ask any Mets fan to describe 2009 in one word and the answer is: injuries. Ask the same fan to describe 2010 and you are likely to get a bunch of different answers. But the lineup turnover has been just as dramatic this year as it was in the cursed 2009 season. Here is the [...]
When David Wright took Florida Marlins closer Leo Nunez deep in the ninth inning on Wednesday night, it marked the Mets' 95th home run of the season. Why is that number significant? With 36 games left to play, the Mets already have equaled their homer total from last year. When home run number is 96 [...]
We touch on that kind of stuff all the time, but we haven't really sat down and put anything in ink," Manuel said. "I think a lot depends on if we see a diminished product, if we see fatigue. Then I think we'll probably visit it with some sincerity. Jerry Manuel summing up his views [...]
The question on who should close for the Mets is twofold. The first being, is manager Jerry Manuel making the right call with having Hisanori Takahashi close games for the rest of the season instead of Bobby Parnell? Second, with Francisco Rodriguez’s Mets career in limbo, should the Mets look elsewhere for a closer in [...]
I really needed to see them. I was struggling. When I see my daughters everything goes away. If I go 0-for-10, I forget about everything," said Pagan. "I needed to go to my house, see my daughters, so I could start fresh. It was a good trip. It was great to have [time] with them, [...]
The Mets figured to have a good chance to win Tuesday night against the Marlins because R.A. Dickey was on the mound. At Citi Field this year, Dickey entered the night with a 5-1 record and a 1.22 ERA. So, things looked bleak when Dickey allowed a 3-run homer to Gaby Sanchez in the seventh [...]
With Rod Barajas clearing waivers and being traded to the Dodgers over the weekend, the Mets made a statement about their catching plans going forward. That is, it’s time to think about the future, and the future at the position is obviously rookie Josh Thole. It took a while, but the Mets finally got it [...]
