David Wright is now THE man. In years past, the Mets 3rd basemen has been accompanied by other star players such as Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, and Carlos Delgado. But now, with the departure of the aforementioned stars, David stands alone as undoubtedly the face of a fallen franchise. Just six short years ago, the [...] more... 
The Mets are gearing up for opening day and they should be excited, if not for the upcoming season, at least for game number 1. That’s because the Mets are a remarkable 32-17 in their team history on opening day. That’s amazing, considering they haven’t exactly been perennial contenders and the fact that they lost [...] more... 
Dear Luis, So you asked to be released? You weren’t given a fair chance for the starting job at second base? Well you got your wish—the Mets released you. Talk about a win-win situation: you get to move on to greener pastures, while still collecting $6 million from the Wilpons, and we get to watch [...] more... 
This is a repost of something we put up back in February. It’s scary how right we are sometimes. Stuff about battling for first place notwithstanding. As many of you know the Mets made the biggest acquisition of any team in baseball this off season when they traded for Johan Santana. As with any big-time [...] more... 
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... 
As many of you know the Mets made the biggest acquisition of any team in baseball this off season when they traded for Johan Santana. As with any big-time player who comes to New York, Johan Santana is expected to be the second coming of the Messiah(or for my Jewish folks, the second coming of [...] more... 
You’ve probably alreay heard this, but in case you haven’t the Mets are raising ticket prices for the coming season by 20%. Yeah, that’s right . . . 20%. Not 4%, 5%, or even 10%. Twenty percent! So after serving up a big crap sandwich to end the regular season, followed by an off-season which [...] more... 
In an interview with Marty Noble, Billy Wagner talks about the state of the Mets and he isn’t happy. Not with Willie. Not with Omar. Not with anybody. Wagner is concerned about how the Mets will fill the void left by Tom Glavine’s departure: “Someone asked me what I thought of our team,” Wagner said [...] more... 
Lo Duca and Wright share a handshake In watching SNY’s Mets Hot Stove Report tonight they showed a clip of Paul Lo Duca from over the weekend(when the Yorvit Torrealba deal seemed a lock) talking about his time with the Mets. Lo Duca looked like he damn near wanted to cry. He was sad that [...] more... 
You see the above guy. That’s Carlos Silva. He sucks. He has the body of Guillermo Mota, yet the stuff of Tom Glavine. It’s really a remarkable combination. Silva is a mediocre pitcher who puts more runners on base than Oliver Perez on a bad day. Okay, maybe he’s not that bad. But think of [...] more...
