Upon Further Review examines Brian Bannister’s extreme day/night split. He’s a Cy Young winner under the sun, a replacement player at night. A reverse vampire, if you will. They don’t offer an explanation, but suggest the Royals find a way to pitch him during the day as much as possible. I think [...]

FELICE NIEVE-DAD

Nice bounce bacDDk by the Mets with Fernando Nieve throwing another gem. I would have liked to see him come out for the 7th inning last night but apparently he was suffering form a stomach aliment that had him tossing his cookie or soup in this instance. If I’m Ed Wade I’d make my self scares over at Minute Maid Park. How could let this guy Nieve get away for nothing...

LIVE: Mets take on Rays

Is Johan Santana hurt, or isn't he? We'll certainly know more during Saturday's start vs. the Rays. Follow every pitch LIVE.

How to explain Brian Bannister: Part II

Brian's ButtonYesterday, I discussed the extreme difference between Bannister as a day pitcher versus a night pitcher. Later this afternoon, he will pitch. That should bode well since he’s 15-4 during the day. Of course, after my recent post about how the Royals had only allowed 10 runs in 6 games, I clearly jinxed them. In the three games since, they have allowed 12, 12...

John Maine and Oliver Perez will make rehab starts Monday at Port St. Lucie

Yeah, I Think The Mets Can Trade For Aubrey Huff Now

So what if he occasionally drops a pop-up.Big deal if he's more and more a DH every day.And who cares if sometimes he blasts the city he plays for.He giveth, but he taketh twice as much away. That's good enough for me. And let's get Matt Wieters in the deal too (get off the drugs, blogger.)And it's a shame too. Because while there's no good time to blow a save...

Despite Mets Struggles, Some Phils Fans Still in Fear

I came across this commentary from Phils Nation (good find by the guys at Amazin Avenue). You could replace the team and players names and you would think this was a column about the New York Mets. Things may not be well in Flushing, but, despite the championship banner, paranoia and fear of failure seem [...]

Mets LHP Perez throws 3 shutout innings in rehab

Sunken season makes players more tradable

NEW YORK | With nearly 100 games to go in the season, the Washington Nationals' hope of anything but abject failure is already slim. That's not just a present reality, though. It's also a possible mandate for a trading strategy this summer. For a team that entered Wednesday challenging the 1962 New York Mets for the worst record in a 162-game season, the Nationals have...

Johan Santana shines, but New York Mets offense stumbles in 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay Rays

NEW YORK - Johan Santana is back to his old self. But so is the lack of offensive support behind him. Six days after the Yankees knocked Santana around for nine runs in three-pus innings, a bounce-back performance by Santana...

Adam Dunn: Big Donkey is one big but (or butt)

There is a reason why Adam Dunn is shopped every off-season and every trading deadline. It’s not his defensive struggles. It’s not his extreme strikeout numbers (holds the major league single-season record, 195).

Francisco Rodriguez blows save, New York Mets lose 5-4 to Baltimore Orioles

BALTIMORE -- For all that has gone wrong for the Mets this season, for all the injuries and surprises, they could still count on one sure thing: Francisco Rodriguez. No more. K-Rod gave up two runs in the bottom of...
