Although small in stature, Ruben Tejada (5-11, 187), Ronny Cedeno (6-0, 190) and Andres Torres (5-9, 198) have all been making some big contributions of late and have played a key part in the Mets winning five out of their last nine games (after the team dropped 12 out of their last 13). These diminutive, [...]

On Thursday, Chris Young rebounded from a poor performance in his previous start with a fine outing, as he hurled 7 IP, allowed 1 ER and earned a game score of 69, his highest mark in 11 starts this year. Young has come back from a shoulder injury to be a stabilizing influence in the [...]
When I was a small child, the Mets were contenders every year. From age four through age eleven – with the slight blip of 1974 – the Mets were always in the hunt for the division, almost guaranteed to finish over .500. Everyone knew why: pitching, of course.

I just came back from an eerie, parking garage meeting with my sources and they inform me that Domingo Tapia, Starter for the Savannah Sand Gnats, is being groomed for a role as the future Mets closer. Take this news for what it is worth, as we’ve certainly heard the same thing about Parnell, Mejia [...]

They say that one of the definitions of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while anticipating different results. Davis swinging at [...]
KIRIN METS COLA I'm in Japan currently, 6,000 miles from my collection, so I don't have any cards to share this week. However, I did come across this copyright-skirting bottle of cola in the local convenience store. The selling point for this soda is not only its zero calories, but also the claim that it [...]
