Does anyone want this guy pitching in relief in lieu of what we have now? No, we won’t get that far, but at this point it has been becoming comical, hence the reason for the placement of a picture of third-string catcher Rob Johnson in this headline. Heck, Johnson does have the best numbers in [...]

The Mets have looked awful the last six games. No sense being coy about it. Since the glorious Fourth, the Amazin’s have looked decidedly less so. In fact, four of the six games were a horror show. Listless hitting, shoddy defense, sub-par starting pitching, bad medical news, possible mishandling of a prized prospect – this [...]

There is no doubt that is a sub-optimal way to do things. But to me there is something even more revolting and that is [...]
In case you haven’t met him, here’s Logan’s Twitter Account: @lverrett4 The Mets drafted Verrett back in the 4th round of the 2011 draft. Verrett’s stuff… is and was average. He throws in the high 80s and low 90s and he has been known to top at 95. Nothing to sneeze at and nothing to [...]
The Mets are on their heels after getting swept in Atlanta even with aces R.A. Dickey and Johan Santana taking the hill.
