After the events of the past few weeks, Mets fans are genuinely concerned about the 2009 season. Injuries have decimated the team, key players have been out for some time now, and their return is questionable at best. Many of the doomsayers are already getting the other teams’ rosters and trying to figure just how [...] more... 
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... 
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... 
The Atlanta Braves added another piece to the puzzle this offseason, trading for Mark Kotsay. Kotsay will replace Andruw Jones in centerfield for the Braves. Kotsay hasn’t been good since he was a utility player on the Marlins, but this is a solid, solid move for the Braves. Why? Because Mark Kotsay is married to [...] more... 
Dear Mets Management, Let me get this straight, we trade Lastings Milledge to Washington to acquire Ryan Church and his 100+ strikeouts along with that defensive wizard Brian Schneider. A guy who is such a defensive prodigy that the Nationals decided to get rid of him, and replace him with . . . Paul Lo [...] more... 
I think we should make a Pedro/Beltran aggressive move for Johan Santana. i.e. overpay, before even getting to overpay on the contract. Consider this: Mets: Hi, Minnesota? Minny: Hi, Mets? Mets: yeah, how you doing? Minny: Ok. Could use some more money. And a heatwave right about now. But it’s all good. You see Adrian [...] more... 
So Heath Bell looks like he’s getting a shot at being the A#1 setup man for Trevor Hoffman (last night he went 1 1/3 scoreless to get a win in relief). Heath Bell you’ll remember was the Mets “extra” guy in the pen last season. And deservedly so, Heath Bell always seemed to “look good,” [...] more... 
Talk about taking lemons and making Jessica Biel’s ass, with John Maine winning NL pitcher of the month for April it seems an appropriate time to remember how Minaya took Kris Benson (and his wife Anna, the perfect marriage of mediocrity) and spun them to the Orioles for Jorge Julio and John Maine (as a [...] more... 
The Mets didn’t do a whole lot during the offseason, but one move they did make was trading two right-handed relievers — Henry Owen and Matt Lindstrom — to the Marlins for Jason Vargas (fine, AND Adam Bostick). I know it’s only spring training, and nobody cares, but here’s the latest from spring training: Henry [...] more...
