In case you slept through it, Chris Coste's surefire fly ball beat the Mets in a 13-inning thriller, an incredible game that ended with the Phils atop the National League East again. (...)

The 2000 Mets were a lovable bunch led by Bobby Valentine. And they made it all the way to the World Series with Benny Agbayani, Jay Payton and Timo Perez in the outfield. It was a miracle. See how much you remember about this team. The answers will be posted tomorrow.
1. How many games did the Mets win in 2000?
2. How many players hit more than 20 home runs...

Delgado is the new "Batman"
Everyone wrote off Carlos Delgado including me. But now his has become a everyday super hero and has given the Mets that power they needed.
Just take a look at his numbers through the months:
G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB K SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS
March 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 .000 .250 .000 .250

Mets Stat: Delgado Multi Homers
DELGADO: 11 TIMES 30, JOINS 12 OTHERS
For the second time in three days, Carlos Delgado belted a pair of home runs in a Mets victory, and his second homer on Wednesday at Philadelphia tied the score in the eighth inning.
That was his 30th home run this season, and he became only the 13th player in major-league history to reach the 30 marked in as many as 11 seasons. Hank Aaron...

The Mets placed Ramon Castro on the 15 day DL with a right Quad strain and recalled Robinson Cancel. I know Castro is a rare power threat catcher but he just proves every season he can't stay healthy and the Mets should really consider whether they should re-sign him. Cancel hit .233 in 30 ABs as the third catcher, he can also play 1B and LF if necessary for a big man he is actually...

"Take That Twinkie Out Your Mouth" And The Rest Of LL Cool J's Perplexing Interview On Sports Center
I can almost understand when Sports Center promotes a Disney movie like "The Gameplan". It makes synergistic sense for the company and it's even somewhat Sports related. I can also understand when ESPN uses new music for intros and outros, ala 3 Doors Down and the MNF bumper music. They need something there and why not a CD coming out the next day? Sure they'...
Kevin Duckworth dies at 44; did the Mitchell Report provide forewarning?
With the news that Kevin Duckworth has passed away at the young age of 44, I happened to think of when his name found its way into the Mitchell Report. There was a cashed check that Duckworth made out to former New York Mets clubhouse guy Kirk Radomski, but Duckworth himself was never implicated...probably because he was a former NBA player and had nothing to do with baseball. From...
My Apologies
Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated…
Thanks to a day job that has suddenly doubled as a night job, and a list of "ASAP" responsibilities longer than my credit report, the Amazins have been forced to the back seat for the time being. And to both of my loyal readers, I apologize. I'll be [...]
Will The Mets Put Jon Niese In A Position To Succeed?
One of the ways to judge the effectiveness of a manager is to see if he puts his players in a position to succeed. Reliever Scott Schoeneweis is murder against lefty batters but can't get out righty batters. A good manager would put Schoeneweis in the game against a lefty batter that his manager won't pitch hit for in a crucial situation.
Welcome Back, Carl; Now Pack Your Crap
Just a week after returning from the 3 year DL, Carl Pavano has been placed on waivers. Do I need to even ask Yankees fans if they'd be happy to be rid of him?
Mets Pitchers vs Phillies : 2008 Edition
If you want to get sick, take a look at the Mets vs the Phillies in 2008. Even though the Mets own a 9-5 record against them they still manage to do some damage against us. I highlighted the players who have ERA over 4.00 against the Phillies and guess what?, It's most of our bullpen.....

Manuel, Mets exercise 'the demons'
In Jerry Manuel's brief two-month tenure as Mets manager, he lost his closer (Billy Wagner), two starters (John Maine), second baseman (Luis Castillo) and a pinch hitter/utility man (Marlon Anderson).
He also adopted a (un)healthy list of injured troops including Ryan Church, Pedro Martinez, Moises Alou, Angel Pagan, Orlando Hernandez and Matt Wise.
A Day of Rest for the Mets and their Fans.....
Today will be the first day off for the Mets in 23 days (August 4th)...The Mets went 16-7 in those 23 days and it's been a tipsy-turnsy ride to say the least. In those 23 games in 23 days the Mets had a 3 game win streak, a 6 game win streak, and a 4 game win streak.. Mets last 10 games showed that they were tiring, going 6-4.
The Mets players will probably sleep in late...

Now that it's official, John Maine is on the DL and the rest of his season is in jeopardy, the Mets need to find another starter. Brian Stokes can spot start and I know alot of people will be clamouring for Jon Niese or Bobby Parnell, but I'd go with a more conservative approach, Claudio Vargas. John Maine's spot has approximately five starts left which means the team...
