Prior to the season, if you told me that we would lose Carlos Delgado, Jose Reyes, Oliver Perez, Ryan Church, and Carlos Beltran for portions of the season and the Mets would be only three games out and five games over 500, I would take it in a minute.In fact, coming into this series all I wanted was a win. So with a win on Tuesday and taking the Phillies into the 11th on Wednesday...

Before Tuesday's demi-classic took flight, I was slightly amused to read of the significant impact one of the Mets' off-season acquisitions was having on the team. No, not Mr. Perfect, Francisco Rodriguez, but erstwhile afterthought Alex Cora. Yessir, Ben Shpigel wrote in the Times, Alex Cora has been quite the addition and a heckuva teammate. He's exactly what the Mets...

Around here, in early Spring, it’s pretty common to overhear Mets fans contemplating the keys to the season. From the team’s temperament to the bigger ballpark, from the new closer to the old first baseman, everyone’s got a theory. And yet, in all those discussions, I wonder how many times Pedro Feliciano’s name was mentioned this Spring as being a vital piece of the puzzle...

Last night featured a disappointing loss for the Phillies. They hit four dingers off the Mets’ ace Johan Santana, got a free run and a big out from the home plate umpire, then turn a lead over to the ‘pen- and lose. Just brutal. Tonight is not a must win game by any stretch- but they are only a narrow favorite in Vegas- and a loss means the Mets are just about even in National...
