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...

Marlins Net Back-to-Back Losses to Cubs
Posted on 21 May 2011 by Jon Melton.
Òðè áîãàòûðÿ íà äàëüíèõ áåðåãàõ 2012 With a chance this week to take series wins from two of the lower-echelon teams in the NL, the Fish floundered. The Marlins came out of back-to-back two game sets against the Mets and Cubs with only one win to show for it. The backdrop for the first two game set was Citi Field, a billion dollar latrine fittingly located in Flushing...

Mets Need to Bounce Back from Tough Losses
Posted on 17 May 2011 by Jim Mancari.
I am happier than anyone with how the Mets have been playing lately. The team is getting offensive production from unlikely sources, the bullpen has been miraculous and Mike Pelfrey seems to be getting back on track. However, all of a sudden, shades of the 2009 injury plague have crept back to the team. David Wright and Ike Davis are out, forcing the team to reach into its minor league syst...

Not the Injury Bug Again
Posted on 5 May 2011 by Jim Mancari.
Shades of the 2009 Mets are already apparent here this season. Though that team was more talented on paper, it was ravaged by the injury bug which gave Jerry Manuel very little to work with on a day-to-day basis. Well, it seems that injuries already have played a role this season. Last year's breakout player, Angel Pagan, is on the disabled list, though he will hopefully return shortly. The M...

How About We Throw Some Strikes?
Posted on 14 Apr 2011 by Jim Mancari.
On the whole, baseball is a simple game. The pitcher takes the ball and throws it over the plate, while the batter either watches it go by, puts the ball in play or swings and misses. Pretty simple, right? Well, our beloved Mets have of course found a way to skew the most basic facet of the game: throwing strikes. Both the Mets' starters and relievers have struggled with walks in the early g...

SNY Airs Family Guy Clip Mocking Mets on Opening Day
Posted on 4 Apr 2011 by Jim Mancari.
I’m sure most Mets fans are familiar with the Family Guy clip mocking the Mets. Stewie and Brian are out trick-or-treating for Halloween, and Stewie says that Halloween is as bad as being a Mets’ fans. The scene shifts to a baseball stadium where the announcer claims the season is over after the first pitch. I’ll admit, I got a brief chuckle out of that clip. I enjoy watching Family Guy...

Five Players that Will Make or Break Mets Season
Posted on 25 Jan 2011 by Jim Mancari.
While basically every player on the 25-man roster will have to play well for the Mets to be competitive, five players in particular will hold major keys to the team's success in 2011. In no particular order, Jose Reyes, Jon Niese, Jason Bay, Ike Davis and Frankie Rodriguez will need to bring their A-game to the ballpark every night. Of course, players like David Wright, Carlos Beltran, Mike...

Young’s In, Who’s Out?
Posted on 18 Jan 2011 by Jim Mancari.
Finally, the Mets have signed Chris Young to a one-year deal. Rumors of the Mets' interest had been circulating for much of the offseason, but the deal is done. So with the addition of Young, that begs the question: What should we expect the pitching rotation to look like? In my last post, I gave my predictions on how the roster may be shaped, including the pitching rotation. It seems as tho...

Breaking Up the Core: Is It the Right Option?
Posted on 7 Nov 2010 by Jim Mancari.
One of the initial challenges that Sandy Alderson will face as the news Mets GM will involve the decision to either hold tight with the talent the Mets have or break up the core of players and basically start fresh. Right now, the Mets core centers around David Wright, Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran and Johan Santana. They have a solid supporting cast which includes Angel Pagan, Ike Davis, Mik...

2010 at a Glance
Posted on 3 Oct 2010 by Jim Mancari.
Well, Mets fans, we did it. We endured another long season of Mets baseball, only to see our boys play to an 79-83 record (fourth in the NL East) and miss the playoffs for the fourth straight year. Though we will now turn our attention to football, hockey, or basketball, let’s take a look at some of the memorable moments of this season. The Mets looked great on opening day with Johan ...

Dillon Gee: A Possible Rotation Option in 2011
Posted on 26 Sep 2010 by Jim Mancari.
Dillon Gee completed the fourth start of his career tonight. He pitched seven innings and surrendered only five hits and two runs to earn his second victory. Through these four starts, Gee has thrown four quality starts, giving up only six runs in 27 innings of work (a 2.00 ERA). Though his first two starts were against the lowly Nationals and Pirates, the last two were against the potent ...

Are the Mets Leaderless?
Posted on 19 May 2009 by Mark Reichman.
Mike Pelfrey goes into his windup and. Oh wait I just balked. That's right I interrupted my delivery to switch to another topic. Do the Mets lack a leader? Is David Wright mad that I'm asking this question? And does it matter? Last night's ESPN Sunday Night Baseball gave this Mets fan the chance to hear Jon Miller, Joe Morgan and Steve Phillips go off for at least an hour o...
