While I try to decide what I’d rather do than listen to the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball announcing team (repeatedly stab myself in the neck with a flathead screwdriver? Take a bubble bath with Rosie O’Donnell? Quit drinking?) - were they calling a baseball game or pyschoanalyzing Carlos Beltran (or is it Bel-TRAN?) - let’s looks [...]

May 19, 2009
Angel Pagan returned to the team and had quite an eventful game, in his first start off the disabled list.At the plate, Pagan went 4-6 with a run, a double and what should have been a game winning triple.Of course; Pagan caused the error, that created the situation in which the game was lost.On an easy fly ball into the gap, Pagan failed to give way to Carlos Beltran, resulting in...

Believe It Or Not, David Wright Is Leading

May 17, 2009
If there was any doubt who the true catalyst of the Mets engine is, David Wright has answered the debate with a resounding ME, the last three games against the Giants.
Besides collecting three hits in each of the last three games, and hitting a robust .692, he now has pulled even with Carlos Beltran for [...]

Turnpike Series - The Anatomy of a Loser: The New York Mets
Good teams have good leadership. In baseball more than most sports, good leadership is essential to winning championships. 162 games is a long grind and team chemistry and an unwavering belief in yourself and your teammates is needed to win a division championship. Much of this leadership needs to be fostered by the manager.The New York Mets just do not have that type of leadership...
Mr Mets Daily - Mets doing the little things "Wright"!!!
I had a sales manager years ago who would start off every meeting by insisting that it was doing the little things right that made the difference between a successful career and a mediocre one. He was right. It is the same in baseball. You do the little things right; make productive outs, work the pitch count, hit the cutoff man, etc,etc, and that is the difference between winning...
Bearded
First, the good news: The Mets at least bounced back with a little fight after Monday night's brutal loss ... which is very much unlike the last time they needed to bounce back from a bad loss.The bad news? Of course they still lost.I was looking more beyond the result, which was sealed by Casey Blake and his gargantuan, yet gritty beard (gee, maybe if Carlos Beltran grew a beard...
Grit, It's Not Just For Kissin' Anymore
While watching the Mets on ESPN might be about as frustrating as watching Oliver Perez pitch, it reminds me how thankful I am that Steve Phillips is no longer the Mets GM.I have to admit I missed the first part of his diatribe during Sunday night's loss to Matt Cain and the Giants, but basically it ended something like this (paraphrasing):"If the Mets lose again this season, they...
Team Inconsistency

May 18, 2009
We are just about two months into the 2009 season and the Mets have proven so far to be just as maddingly inconsistent as they've been since Carlos Beltran left the bat on his shoulder in '06. I must say I was proud of the team (and understandbly shocked) by the moxie they showed in winning the first three games of their series against the Giants, including some late night heroics...

ESPN Sunday Night Baseball; Thumbs Down
I have been quiet lately with regard to my New York Mets. My last articles talked about the rivalry with the Phillies and prior to that looking at the pitching staff after 10 games. I'm not one who wants to write about re-caps simply because I watch every game and frankly when they lose I don't need any reminders.I'm going to LA Tuesday and will watch the Mets and the...
Luckily, The New York Press Is So Forgiving
Clayton Kershaw dunks on Orlando Hudson, blinding Mark Loretta in the process, while Carlos Beltran looks for a rock under which to hide.

Mr Mets Daily - Mets drop another ugly one....
I will say this about the NY Mets; they are not boring. They always seem to flip flop from one extreme to another. After winning the first three in San Francisco and getting Mets fans hopes up, they turn right around and prove they can give it right back in the blink of an eye after three straight error filled losses.
John Maine was not effective last night during the Mets 5...
