Sure, the Mets can't hit in scoring position to save my life, but wow, these guys can hit .300! As of last night's game against the Cardinals, each position player on the Mets was hitting at least .300 with the exception of Ramon Castro (and Castro only has 20 at bats this season). Think about that: the Mets entire infield and outfield is hitting at least .300 right now.

If I had to sum up in one play, what's wrong with the New York Mets, it would be Carlos Beltran's play at the plate. No; I'm not one of those Beltran bashers, in fact, I think he's probably the best all-a-round player on the team.Unfortunately, for Beltran, that one play serves as a perfect example, on so many levels, how a team with the best pen in the league and...

I think because of his versatility Robinson Cancel might have come north with the team if Ramon Castro was placed on the DL. Cancel is not only a catcher but he can also play 1B and LF. Raul Casanova would have better served the team in AAA developing the young pitchers as Mike DiFelice did the last ...
