We Need Sexy

In 2006 the trio of Pedro, Moises Alous, and El Duque were key components of our division winning season. They were question marks because of age and/or health concerns, but all three of those guys could perform like All-Stars when stakes were high. They were our Undercover Studs (Pedro not so undercover). But this year [...] more...

Remember Me?

According to Adam Rubin, Moises Alou will bat 5th tonight in Arizona. Yeah! Watching Alou play is kind of like watching car racing. When will the next injury come? Let’s find out. The flash bulb pop from when the above picture was taken may or may not have injured Alou’s retinas. Alou in left, batting [...] more...

Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number, Or Is It?

Before anything, we just want to say what a tremendous job Jorge Sosa has done the past two days. Sosa has been as good as Matt Wise has been bad. And Wise has looked pretty bad. Sosa most likely will get moved to the starting rotation(or at least he should be) with Pedro going down. [...] more...

The Tough Innings

We know we have been spotty with posts during the offseason, but unlike other blogs we just couldn’t bring ourselves to care or comment on offseason happenings such as the acquisitions of Steve Register and Matt Wise, Moises Alou’s injury(shocker!), if Angel Pagan or Brady Clark are both necessary, if Duaner Sanchez will pitch before [...] more...

Relax . . . It Will All Work Out In The End, Right?

Relax. It will be okay. It will all work out in the end. At least that’s what Willie Randolph continues to say. Last night, after the Mets lost again, Randolph said to reporters something like, “This feels normal to me, this feels right. It will make sipping that champagne at the end taste better.” So [...] more...

Watching It All Slip Away

Is there a photograph that encapsulates the Mets season better than this one? Seriously. Three Mets standing around waiting for something to happen, but it never does. Why has this season left such a bitter taste in the mouth of so many fans? Even with losing 3 in a row the Mets are 73-59, 14 [...] more...

More Braves, More Broccoli

What more is there to say? Another game against the Atlanta Braves, another disheartening, disgusting, pitiful Met loss. We’ve already talked about Mets-Braves games. The Mets play the Braves. The Mets lose. But they’re not just your standard, run of the mill losses. They’re horrible. They’re your Kyle Davies, Chuck James, Buddy Carlyle type losses. [...] more...

The Recurring Nightmare Of A Head-First Slide

There is a recurring nightmare I’ve been having. It’s one where a Mets player slides into a base head first, and breaks his face. Ok, maybe not his face. But the player breaks a finger, or one of the many bones in the hand, or hurts his shoulder, or neck, or something else horrible. Last [...] more...

See The Ball, Be The Ball, Hit The Ball

Look at the swing. Look at the concentration. Eyes on the ball, going the other way with a pitch on the outside part of the plate. If only Shawn Green could play every game against the Dodgers. The Mets are currently 2-2 on this seven game west coast trip. That’s .500 ball. Gotta love it. [...] more...
