Another Season Down The Drain And No Real Answers For Next Year.
Posted on 16 Sep 2012 by James Beck.
Sandy preachers 2013-2014 but what will be there in 2013-2014 or is he just counting his days down until his contract get's terminated. As Mets fans are forced to be the laughing stock of New York and most of the league what do we have hope for? Really what do we have to look forward to Wheeler, Mejia, Familia and Harvey. Ok let's get this straight your hoping for two starters and two bullpen p...

MLB Looking Out For The New York Yankees
Posted on 3 Aug 2012 by James Beck.
As a blogger I have to be fair to all teams. All because I have to be doesn't mean M LB thinks that way. The New York Yankees are the perfect example. The Yankees have been protected for years from the early 90′s to the present day. From the pitching staff getting all the calls to all other pitching staffs. To a certain pitcher throwing a bat at another player and didn't get suspende...

Today Begins To Shape The New York Mets
Posted on 31 Jul 2012 by James Beck.
It is time to stop shopping bargain basement for Sandy Alderson. It's time for the Mets to make a move for a real big time player. No more 2013-2014, start building now show David Wright there's a reason to stay. And get this straight I'm not talk about no relief pitcher. I'm talking about a big time bat or even a center fielder. A real lead off man that moves Tejada into the 2...

From The Stretch: NL All-Star Picks
Posted on 21 Jun 2012 by Connor Callaghan.
Last week I came up with a list of who I thought deserved to be in the All-Star Game for the American League which you can find here: http://www.prosportsblogging.com/2012/06/15/from-the-stretch-al-all-star-picks/. Now it's time for the National League: Catcher, Buster Posey, Giants: The former Rookie of the Year winner adds a little star power and raw hitting power that Yadier Molina and Car...

Handling David’s contract status the WRIGHT way.
Posted on 31 May 2012 by Jimmy Forgione.
He has played over 1,000 games for your franchise, all nine solid years of his career belong to your team, the fans love him, his teammates seem to love him, and the kid can flat-out rake. If you're Sandy Alderson why haven't you made a contract offer to David Wright yet? Up until last week he was hitting over .400, yes it's only May, but even where he stands now hitting .365 is still worth me...

Angels bring out the heavy Met-al today in New York
Posted on 20 Jun 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I said I expected the Angels to sweep the Mets. They did take two of three, and that ain't bad. Did I say that, or did Meat Loaf say it? They don't do it much, but the Angels got good pitching and good hitting on the same day. Being a rookie, Tyler Chatwood can't say anything, but I bet he was frustrated that the Angels couldn't score any runs for him of late. How many runs have the Halos put ...

Have the Angels Met their match?
Posted on 19 Jun 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I actually thought the Angels would sweep the Mets. I am actually not a very bright guy. With Joel Pineiro, Dan Haren and Tyler Chatwood pitching in the 3 games, I shot for the moon. I missed. The Halos looked pretty good on Friday, hitting around Chris Capuano on their way to a 4-3 victory. I interviewed Capuano when he pitched for the Brewers once upon a time. He is Graduate of Duke Universi...

loss, win, loss, win, loss, win, loss, win, loss… *sigh
Posted on 25 Apr 2011 by Paul Jackson.
A tough series against the Dodgers puts the Cubs in a pickle trying to finish out this home stand with a decent record. Los Angeles took two of three from the Cubs over the weekend. Terrible starting pitching spelled doom for Chicago in this series that included a thrilling win on Saturday, overcoming blowing a five to one lead and an eight to five deficit, late. Game 1 was all L.A. The Dodgers...

The Mets Can Be Addicting
Posted on 13 Apr 2011 by Jim Mancari.
I have an addiction. Unfortunately, many young men my age have bigger problems than I do. Some have fallen to drug or alcohol addictions, which is always a sad situation. They have their whole lives ahead of them, but they succumb to their addiction. I have an addiction. The first part of dealing with an addiction is to admit you have one. Just this past week, I came to the conclusion that ...

New Humbler Mets Trying Harder
Posted on 7 Apr 2011 by Mark Reichman.
Who's gonna let a little 7-run deficit to the Phillies slow them down? Not the 2011 Mets, who showed plenty of fight in battling back last night, even if they didn't win… Meanwhile Ike Davis has quietly gotten off to a nice start in his sophomore campaign. He's got that average at ,368 and perhaps more importantly, has shown the ability to get hits with men on base, shortening his swi...

Searching for Optimism in Queens
Posted on 5 Mar 2011 by Mark Reichman.
Pelfrey, Dickey and Niese. Not exactly a trio to strike fear in an opponent's heart, except maybe a defendant in a legal case who might think it sounds like an intimidating law firm. And yet that's the best the Mets can send to the mound to start the season with Johan Santana sidelined. An over-the-hill knuckleballer (Dickey), a very green Niese and the sometimes head case that is Mike Pe...

Oberkfell and Backman are Mets Best Choices
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by Mark Reichman.
Talk to any Mets fan about the managerial vacancy and the words “Wally Backman” will undoubtedly pepper the conversation. ”Toughness”, “aggressiveness” and “hustle” are the words associated with Backman's playing tenure in Flushing, words which sound great in the context of a manager, particularly coming off the reactive and often backpedaling s...
