Mets Card of the Week: 1970 Tom Seaver box
1970 TOPPS TOM SEAVER CELLO BOX
The dominant pack configuration for Topps baseball cards throughout the ’50s and ’60s was the 5-cent wax pack: five cards and a stick of gum for your hard-earned nickel.
Topps also offered less-common 1-cent wax packs through until the mid ’60s– these change-makers gave you gum and one card for a penny.
In addition, the company...

Wright-Collins flap marks Mets loss
David Wright was ready to take one for the team. Terry Collins was not going to let that happen.
So the Mets manager pulled his star third baseman.
''In this game there are unwritten rules and one of the unwritten rules is you hit my guy, I'm hitting your guy. They're not hitting my guy tonight,'' Collins said following the Mets' 8-0 loss to the Milwaukee...

Terry Collins pulls David Wright and what ensued was AWESOME
The New York Mets caught a good ol’ fashion butt kicking at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night, but all of that was just a footnote to what occurred during the seventh inning. Following a solo blast by Rickie Weeks, Mets reliever DJ Carrasco drilled Brewers slugger and last years NL MVP on the next pitch with a “sinker” in the upper part of his...

From Left Field: What About Left Field?
How great has the Mets team chemistry been this season?
Maybe it has to do with the fact that the team’s biggest headache—Jason Bay—has been sidelined for nearly three weeks with a broken rib.
Bay has been cleared to resume baseball activities and will be heading to Port St. Lucie this Thursday. Terry Collins told reporters after last night’s game that Bay will play in minor...

Miguel Batista has delivered for Mets as a starting pitcher
Most of the talk around the Mets is centered around if Chris Young or Jenrry Mejia should be the team’s fifth starter after Chris Schwinden failed miserably in his brief audition for the role. Young was terrific in four starts with the club last year while Mejia in one of The Queens Quads that fans are eager to see perform in Citi Field.
But lost in the shuffle is the ancient...

Murphy and Wright are scorching in May
New York Mets third basemen David Wright has been leading the teams charge all season long, but in the month of May, he’s not the only player on the squad hitting over .400. Daniel Murphy is flat out raking of late and his .403 average in May is just behind that of Wright’s .413 mark.
Wright’s numbers should hardly come as a surprise as he’s been hot right...

Francisco Was A Bad Idea
As I said yesterday, a team is only as strong as its bullpen. The Mets have exceeded most expectations save one: The bullpen remains a concern. It is the Mets’ weakest link.
Frank Francisco blew his second save in three games, meaning in a perfect world they would have swept the Marlins this weekend and gone 6-0 on their road trip.. However, baseball, as we know, is an imperfect...

Like it or not, Jason Bay’s return is looming
New York Mets left fielder Jason Bay has missed the teams past 19 games, but after being examined by doctors on Monday, a return date may soon be mapped out. According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com:

Bay To Start Baseball Activities Soon? Francisco Still The Closer...For Now: Mets Lineup V. Brewers - May 14, 2012
The Mets return home after two brutal losses at the Hands of the Miami Reyes'. The Mets had a respectable road trip, going 4-2, but should have gone 6-0, thanks to two blown saves by Mets closer Frank Francisco.
Speaking of Francisco, after yesterdays' melt down, Collins said he is still staying with the big righthander as his closer...for now. Collins also is trying to...

If someone has to replace Francisco, it’s gotta be Parnell
Based on the events of the past three days (and some other events before then), it might be time for Terry Collins to make some changes in the Mets bullpen. Frank Francisco has done a terrible job in the ninth inning so far, but that doesn’t mean that moving him to the seventh or eighth will automatically straighten him out.
Just leaving him in the ninth would almost definitely...
