With Oliver Perez, Brian Schneider, Carlos Delgado, [...]

Oh yeah, give it up for the big guy Livan Hernandez.
We’ll never know if he’s really 34 years old or 38 years old, but as long as he continues to pitch this effectivelly does it really matter?
Livan was in complete control last night, baffling Nationals hitters, keeping them off balance, and saving his best stuff [...]

When the Mets signed Gary Sheffield on April 3, most of the talk was about him having a limited playing schedule. “Limited” would not be the word to describe Sheffield’s impact for the Mets. The veteran outfielder has become the everyday cleanup hitter, filling the void left by the injured Carlos Delgado.
Sheffield cranked his fifth home [...]

So what does that mean for Omir Santos who has suddenly become a fan favorite and has proven to be a valuable asset for the Mets since originally being called up to replace Schneider in the first place?
Does he [...]

May 28, 2009
With Brian Schneider on the cusp of returning, there is a heated competition for the back-up catchers position.Many believe that Ramon Castro is sharing space with Ryan Chruch in Jerry Manuel's doghouse, whether Manuel actually has a doghouse or not, Castro isn't helping his cause...Castro is hitting .253 compared to Omir Santos who is hitting .268, for most of the season...

OF COURSE I’M HAPPY, CAN’T YOU TELL?
Obviously I’m extremely happy with the win last night especially with Livan Hernandez pitching like a prehistoric pitcher actually finishing a game, who does he thinks he is Roy Halliday? But we all need to remember that the opponent was one of the worst baseball teams to call it’s self a major league team since the Mets played in the Polo Grounds. I really didn’t want to piss...

After giving up a two-run home run to Mets’ backup catcher Omir Santos in New York’s 3-2 victory over Boston on Saturday night, Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon screamed and hurled a towel at a photographer trying to capture Papelbon’s utter failure.
Papelbon screamed, “Don’t take my f- - -ing picture,” according to Causi, before throwing [...]

Next Phenomenon: Starters Going Deeper in Games?
Phil Hughes demanding to pitch the ninth, Johan Santana throwing 120 pitches back to back, and Livan Hernandez complete game are examples this week of how we may see the starting pitchers revert back to throwing innings. We kept hearing while the Yankees were in Texas how Nolan Ryan has eliminated pitch counts in order [...]
Mr Mets Daily - A night of first's at Citi Field....
Last night's 6-1 victory by the Mets over the Nationals at Citi Field was a night of first's in many ways; Livan Hernandez pitched the first ever complete game at the new digs, top prospect Fernando Martinez made his MLB debut, it was the first game in the last four the Mets didn't need video replay---and, least importantly, it was my first game at Citi Field.
Let me...

- If I gave you the following two stat lines in the spring:
1-2, 9.97 ERA
4-1, 4.28 ERA
How many of you would pick Livan Hernandez for his actual record? How many would say that Oliver Perez would have the first line? Doesn’t it seem funny that we all thought Freddy Garcia would beat him out for [...]

It was noted during a recent Mets game that somebody was writing a book about the bizarre game that took place on July 4th of '85. Surely you remember it as the 19 inning debacle that ended near 4AM down in Atlanta.If I were to write a book about a particular baseball game, I might choose Livan Hernandez's complete game from Monday night.Seriously.First off, all the really...

- The pie returned at Yankee Stadium. This time, not only hitting Melky Cabrera, the walk off hero, but Suzyn Waldman as well. What would you pay to see John Sterling or Michael Kay get hit with the next pie?
