We Traded Brian Bannister for This?

Prosecutors say former New York Mets pitcher Ambiorix Burgos has been sentenced to 9 months in jail for throwing his girlfriend against a wall and pummeling her in a hotel near Shea Stadium. The 24-year-old reliever was sentenced after a jury convicted him of assault last month in the Sept. 8 attack, during which he [...] more...

Pitchers and Catchers: Pedro Feliciano

Who is Pedro Feliciano? Does anyone know? In the pic on the right he looks like a pimp, of sorts. He’s seemingly innocuous and soft-spoken enough that dude could be the criminal kingpin when The Wire comes back for another season to explore baseball. Like a Puerto Rican “The Greek” from Season 2, he blends [...] more...

Jerry’s Angels

It’s a good sign that time has passed, because I forget. But then you come across some article that reminds you of “the horror, the horror” that was the 2008 Mets bullpen.

When we signed Wagner, we paid top dollar for a high caliber rack. When Billy went down, it was [...] more...

Who Is More Stacked: Phils or Mets?

Omar Minaya conceded recently that he’s been watching the Phillies road to the World Series very closely, and he expects their core group of good, controllable players to continue to play at a high level through 2009. And he mentions names citing, “Joe Blanton, Cole Hamels, Ryan Howard, Brad Lidge, Ryan Madson, Brett Myers, Jimmy [...] more...

Mets Trade Rolodex: Baltimore Orioles

Where we look at potential off-season trade partners for the Mets I think the Baltimore Orioles should be one of our first calls. Even if they didn’t have players that fit our needs, in the past you would call them anyways just in case Jim Duquette picked up and decided to throw-in John Maine for [...] more...
