We made our second trip of the season out to Shea last night. It will be the last cold night at Shea we’ll ever spend. Since today’s game is about to start, we’ll just give you quick hits about last night: -It was cold. -Ryan Church can’t be THIS good, can he? -Watching the Mets [...] more... 
There’s been a video of Joe Smith getting into it with fans sitting in the Wrigley Field bleachers during the Mets visit to Chicago. It’s never good when players get into shouting matches with fans. It shows the player has rabbit ears, and makes them look petty. But one can’t applaud Joe Smith for actually [...] more... 
In the Bergen Record Bob Klapisch paints a bleak picture of the front office situation at Shea Stadium, saying that if the things don’t improve soon ownership may make changes- its patience exhausted. The stakes are high enough that the Wilpon family is starting to pay close attention. The Mets have another month’s rope, maximum, [...] more...

What’s that you asked for? One serving of gopher ball coming right up! Here’s an interesting question. Of the two pictured, who’s hurt the Mets more this season? more...

It was as if Willie Randolph himself read our previous post and started hitting and running. Meanwhile, the guy who hit the ball as hard and ran as fast as anybody tonight was . [...] more... 
At the end of last season the Mets held a press conference to say that Willie Randolph would return as manager for the 2008 season. Nothing tells you more about the tenuousness of the situation Randolph is in than that. Usually when a boss feels the need to reassure you that you’re his guy it’s [...] more... 
This isn’t last year. This isn’t last year. This isn’t last year. This isn’t last year. Carlos Delgado will hit again. Carlos Delgado will hit again. Carlos Delgado will hit again. Carlod Delgado will hit again. Willie Randolph knows what he’s doing. Willie Randolph know what he’s doing. Willie Randolph know what he’s doing. (Repeat [...] more...
