I’ve decided I want the Fred and Jeff Wilpon to sell the Mets. I’m at the end of my rope with these guys. Maybe 32 years is too long to hang onto something, just for the sake of hanging onto something. It’s almost as if they’re trying to prove a point: see? You can have [...]

LUCIE, FLA- The Florida State League announced that St. Lucie Mets manager Ryan Ellis has been named Florida State League’s Manager of the Year.

1970 TOPPS TOMMIE AGEE The 1970 set is one of my favorite Topps sets. Yeah, I know, the gray borders are kind of bland. But the set was packed with good photos, the different color lettering of the various team names made it excellent for matching games and the yellow and blue backs are perhaps [...]
Zack Wheeler: I’ve written about Wheeler and you’ve read about Wheeler and by now, you are eagerly anticipating buying your very own Wheeler Met jersey some time during the 2013 or 2014 season. First, before I get into talking about all the good things he’s doing, let me mention that he’s not YET ready for [...]
For a guy who was waived twice following the 2011 season, Jeremy Hefner has been quite a productive pitcher in 2012 for the Mets. Sunday, Hefner pitched into the ninth inning and ended up with a no-decision in a game where he pitched well enough to win. His final line was 8 IP, 5 H, [...]

Darin Gorski is quietly turning in a fine season in Double-A. You might recall that Gorski had a breakout year in 2011, where he went 11-3 with a 2.08 ERA. Many were skeptical because he was not highly touted and he dominated at an advanced age for his league. The conventional wisdom coming into this [...]

This is just is getting downright depressing. Yes, the Mets yet again lost again last night (3-1), this time to the hapless Houston Astros, a team that has dropped 36 out of their last 43 games prior to Friday. The Mets are now currently riding a six-game losing streak. There appears to be no end [...]

Why the hype? Wilfredo Tovar, SS: Tovar is the type of prospect that divides minor league followers. Some think he will be a great defensive shortstop who will hit enough to play every day while some think he will be a great defensive shortstop and that is it. At least most everyone will agree his [...]
Before the season started, I dismissed those who claimed the Mets could lose 100 games in 2012. But after getting swept in a four-game series at home by a beat-up Rockies team, I am no longer so sure. The Mets still need to win six games the rest of the way and at this point, [...]
