PLAYERS: David Wright,  Oliver Perez

In order of least controversial to most controversial, they are: David Wright can’t get a clutch hit, Oliver Perez and Chien-Ming Wang are “frustrating”, new Yankee Stadium will yield 7,000 homeruns this season, and [...]

Putz Breaks Our Hearts For The First Time

Via MostlyMets  |  April 22, 2009
Last night was the first opportunity I had to watch a game from start to finish. And an interesting game it was. Oliver Perez sucked. Even before the 5th inning explosion that knocked him out of the game Perez did not have very good stuff. I don’t care how many times Gary Cohen [...]

The Uninspiring Mets Drop Back Under .500

Via Mike's Mets  |  April 21, 2009
Game 13: Cardinals 6 - Mets 4 Several things have contributed to the light posting by me the last couple of weeks. One is ongoing personal health issues, another is related to my Mom's health problems, and I've also been extremely busy at work. The work backlog is slowly clearing up, so I hope to be posting more frequently by the end of this week or early next week. The...

Ryan Zimmerman Extension: Good or Bad?

Via Jorge Says No  |  April 20, 2009
Lots of Nationals talk here lately, and I for one, am loving it. There is nothing better than a 1-11 club getting all the pub.Anyway, for those who missed it, the Nationals have locked up third baseman Ryan Zimmerman to a 5 year/$45 million dollar extension.The fantastic David Pinto, from baseballmusings.com, weighs in:Washington may be stuck with him, too. I?m just not that high...

Met Musings

Via Brooklyn Viola  |  January 27, 2008
Bobby Cox looked so sad sitting in the dugout watching his Braves embrace the offseason at the beginning of September at Shea Stadium. What a change from years past for the Mets. Rather than go to the ballpark ("I'm not paying money to sit in the rain and watch Dave Williams and Oliver Perez pitch"),...

Mets Let Down By Their Leadership

Via FullCountPitch.com  |  April 23, 2009
By Gary Armida The New York Mets entered the season with high hopes as they addressed their most severe deficiency of a year ago by adding JJ Putz and Francisco Rodriguez to the back of the bullpen. But, suddenly, the additions stopped as GM Omar Minaya and the ownership simply re-signed Oliver Perez and added Livan [...]

Beltran Batting Third, Wright Fifth… Finally

Via Mets Merized Online  |  April 21, 2009
Carlos Beltran will be batting third tonight and David Wright drops down to the fifth spot in the lineup. Let me be the first to applaud this move and I hope it’s not just a temporary move either. For a long time, I’ve felt that Wright has never looked comfortable batting in the three hole. Despite Dan [...]

Via Mets Merized Online  |  December 22, 2008

Mets Keep Finding Ways to Lose

Via Hot Stove New York  |  April 23, 2009
The Mets may not have to worry about a September swoon this season if they keep playing the way they are now. They’re collapsing in April. The starting rotation, with the obvious exception of Johan Santana, is absolutely atrocious. John Maine and Oliver Perez welcomed Livan Hernandez to the 7.00 ERA club today. And when [...]

Fundamentally Flawed...

Via Mets Fever  |  April 22, 2009
I might look back at this post tomorrow and feel that it was a bit strong and that I possibly over reacted but this has always been an op/ed blog from a fans point of view. I can't think of a better way to vent after an absolutely horrible loss then to blog.It seems that my two biggest concerns this off-season are coming to fruition, I was consistent that I felt the bullpen wasn...

New Years Resolution For Mets Fans

Via Mets Merized Online  |  January 04, 2009
This previous Wednesday we bid farewell to 2008 with the usual revelry and fanfare. Safe to say, most Mets fans are happy to see 2008 placed in the 'last year' category. We all welcomed the New Year with the usual resolutions: Getting out of debt, quitting smoking, losing weight, etc...However, I would like to propose all Mets fans band together and share the same simple...
