As if his tenure with the Mets hasn’t been rough enough, Terry Collins, according to Andy Martino of the Daily News, is toying with the idea of putting Jason Bay in center field for the 2012 season. Well, that has disaster written all over it doesn’t it? While Jason Bay is a good defensive left [...]
A lot has been made this week about David Wright being placed on waivers. The thing is many players-and even stars- go through waivers to see how they are “valued” throughout the league. It didn’t stop many in the mainstream media from declaring that Wright was persona non grata with the Mets, and that the [...]
As injuries continue to ravage the Mets, and with the team flailing as the season comes to a close, many players will get an opportunity to make their case for future inclusion with the Mets. Enter Nick Evans. Evans has really turned a corner late in the summer and is in the midst of an [...]
In a season marred by injuries, inconsistencies, major trades and financial troubles there haven’t been many constants for the Mets in 2011. Although David Wright had his share of the injury bug (missing 58 games due to a stress fracture in his back), his presence on the team has been a constant. Wright has been [...]
Lately there hasn’t been much to get excited about when it comes to the play of the Mets. They continue to be ravaged by injuries and are seemingly dead in the playoff hunt. That doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to look forward to down the stretch. Although a lot will happen between now and next [...]
As fans, we always like to propose trades as if we’re acting GM’s. We love flooding airwaves, posting on blogs and message boards about potential trade possibilities. This week a caller phoned into WFAN (The Mets flagship and all-sports radio station) and proposed a unique trade that might benefit both New York squads: A.J. Burnett [...]
With Jose Reyes going on the DL yet again with a strained hamstring, Ruben Tejada was recalled to play shortstop in his place. So far, Tejada has gone 4-12 with two doubles and an RBI in his most recent promotion. So, this begs the question: Is Ruben Tejada up for good with the Mets? Well, [...]
Another game, yet another tough luck loss for R.A. Dickey. The man can’t catch a break. After limiting the Braves on Friday night to just two runs in seven innings pitched, the Mets couldn’t muster any more offense than a David Wright RBI double and lost another anaemic outing. Friday’s defeat now puts Dickey’s record [...]
Maybe the baseball gods made sure it rained in Queens on Wednesday night, as if to not let the Mets embarrass themselves against a team they just can’t seem to beat in the Florida Marlins (16-30 since 2009). With each excruciating and almost comical loss, the truth is becoming more apparent by the day. The [...]
If you haven’t noticed, Lucas Duda is in quite the zone lately. Since July 20, Duda is batting .405 with seven RBI’s while finally delivering on some of his power potential by slugging two home runs in the past week. Are we ready to see the new Lucas Duda? With the highly anticipated departure of Carlos [...]
After weeks of speculation, the Mets finally pulled the trigger and traded Carlos Beltran to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for pitching prospect Zack Wheeler. (This, of course, is contingent on the legalities of the deal which should become final by Thursday afternoon.) While we wax nostalgic of the memories Beltran’s made in Queens, [...]
Although many have their doubts, the Mets' front office stated this week that journeyman reliever Jason Isringhausen will be part of the team until at least the remainder of the 2011 season. This was mostly done so Isringhausen could be Bobby Parnell’s mentor as Parnell tries to grasp what it takes to be a big-league [...]
