But in his very next start he wowed us with an [...]

"Some of you people oughta go find another way of living." -Bobby Knight, January 18th, 2000I think Russ Ortiz would be wise to listen to Coach Knight.Seriously, Ortiz is a pitcher that the Mets have owned recently. But even I wasn't naive enough to start getting excited on Saturday because of Ortiz's recent history against the Mets, since the recent injuries heaved...

I was looking on Mets.com and I noticed Marty Noble's mailbag that it had some interesting Q/A's from fans.
Here are some of them:
Let's be realistic, the 2009 Mets should become Trade Deadline sellers. Contending teams like the Rays and Cardinals may be interested in bullpen help like Pedro Feliciano, Brian Stokes or Sean Green for much-needed prospects.

The gist of this article can be had in the headline, but let me expand a little more. The 2009 Mets season, as I see it right now, is a lost one. Outside of some magical run the team would have to make with mostly the parts they currently have, the season is going to be a wash. Jose Reyes, John Maine, Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado and the rest of the Mets disabled should be...

Since he became the Mets GM in 2005, Omar Minaya became one of my favorite GMs in baseball. This is not just some blatant homerism; I genuinely enjoyed the way Minaya handled his business.
I admired Minaya's ability to find low cost players off the scrapheap that every other team seemingly passed on. Between Fernando Tatis, Endy Chavez, Orlando Hernandez, John Maine, Oliver Perez...

As is always true around this time of year, the news feeds are full of trade rumors saying this player is going to that team, etc. The Mets have found themselves in the middle of these talks for the past few years, but seem to be keeping quiet this season. Maybe they feel like they're too far out already.
Maybe I agree with them.
There were some rumors...

MLB.com's Anthony DiComo says not to assume Gary Sheffield will be traded. Sheff is currently on the disabled list, but may have been attractive to contenders in need of a bat because he can still produce (.286-.388-.481 in 245 PA) and the Tigers are paying pretty much his entire salary.
