Can the Mets ever beat the Nats? Their best chance may come tonight with Jonathon Niese on the mound for the 7:05 start Peter Hyatt August 18, 2012 - 6:49 pm I'd love to see us put together a winning streak. Brian Joura August 18, 2012 - 6:51 pm Hey Peter - I'll settle for [...]
Zach Lutz – A right-handed bat with power… go figure! Who would have thought the Mets had one? Well, there’s a caveat: Lutz doesn’t play in the outfield and probably can’t. Because of this, all Lutz can really do is pinch hit and take some starts from Ike Davis. His: .298/.406/.497 triple slash and his [...]
The title of this post begs to be asked. Considering that Frank Francisco’s last two outings were-to put it mildly-disastrous, and the fact that he had to be bailed out by Jon Rauch on both occasions, Terry Collins could be leaning towards making Rauch his new closer. Ever since he came off the DL, Francisco [...]
Johan Santana looks to put the ugliness of last start behind him as he takes the mound for the Mets tonight versus the Nationals Name August 17, 2012 - 8:17 pm First time thru: 0-9, second time:4-4 Name August 17, 2012 - 8:18 pm This may turn out to be a Jon Niese kind of [...]
It has been a streaky season for Ike Davis here in 2012. The Mets hope that his 2-for-4 performance Thursday night which featured a double and a homer is an indication that Davis is about to go on another tear. On a team struggling to find power, the Mets need Davis to be a threat [...]

Fred Wilpon is approached at Citi Field, asked about next year’s payroll and says “Ask Sandy.” Sandy Alderson is approached a couple of days later with the same question and says “I haven’t discussed it with ownership yet.” Which way does the wind blow? Will the player personnel budget increase or decrease further in 2013? [...]
What’s not to like about the Pride of Whitestone, Mike Baxter? The man could never play another single game again in his life and he’ll still be a celebrated Met for his lunging catch (which would knock him out of commission for a few weeks) that preserved the Mets’ first no-hitter thrown by Johan Santana. [...]

I reached out to friends in the Mets blogosphere recently to ask the following question: How should the Mets handle Jordany Valdespin for the remainder of 2012 and what is his role for the 2013 team? These people all do great work and their names are hyperlinked to their blogs so please go ahead and [...]
1993 TOPPS FINEST EDDIE MURRAY Eddie Murray is one of four players in baseball history to have 3,000 hits and 500 home runs. Yet I think it’s fair to say that while active Murray’s reputation was based much more on being an “RBI man.” Murray came up in 1977 and won the Rookie of the [...]
