Mets activate Maine
The Mets New York Mets activated John Maine John Maine from the disabled list today.
Maine will work out of the bullpen, and though what he can offer is a question mark, his return at least provides intrigue.
Suffering from a bone spur in his right shoulder, Maine hasn't pitched since Aug. 23. But with the relief corps in deplorable shape, the Mets could turn to Maine for...
It's just not right to think this way, but.....
A lot has been written in past couple of days like this was going to be a piece of cake. For one , I thought the Mets would not do this again but you have to look at the team as a whole. The bullpen was one reason why we got there in 2006 and in 2007 it was the reason why we did not get there. The 2008 season has had it's ups and downs, but the bullpen is in shambles. The bats...

Many have questioned Carlos Beltran's toughness, while I will admit his percentage assessments of his health ( by the way he says he's 80-90% now) are comical and he seems to be slow to recover especially for someone in such great shape, last night Beltran showed he's not soft. Clearly his knee and ribs are bothering him from the crash into the wall on Monday night but...

Former ‘washed up’ minor leaguer killed girlfriend’s cat out of jealousy (plus creepy videos)
How sad is the world we live in? You know you're way past your prime in the game of life when you revert to killing your girlfriend's cat because you're jealous of it.
That's right, a prosecutor said Monday that Joseph Petcka, who pitched in the New York Mets' minor league system in 1992, was a "washed-up, [...]

Certainly didn't seem like it, but it was there at Miller Park.-The bottom of the first and top of the second were perfect indications of this. The leadoff man for the Brewers reached on a Nyjer Morgan error. After an out, Ryan Braun hit a liner that Nate McLouth dove for and missed. Nate got up and threw the ball in wildly, Braun ended up at HOME PLATE, and Nate ended up with...

Shea Stadium: The Final Week
The New York Mets are celebrating their final week of regular season games. Our friends at ReelSportsFan.com have dug up this video highlight of Shea Stadium being built …
Believe or Don’t Believe. But Don’t Pretend.
One hundred and sixty-two games. That's a lot of baseball.
Yet the previous 158 matter about as much as the empty promises we hear every offseason.
For the Mets, this is now a four game season. In these four games, they can win the division, the wild card, or simply go home early for the second [...]
NY Mets: Situation Dire on Bonnie Brae
With a sinking feeling, I watched last night's action unfurl at Shea Stadium knowing full well that the Mets were hellbent on losing to the Chicago Cubs. Little did I know they would lose 9-6 in the 10th inning. Even when the Mets had the bases loaded, with one out in the bottom of the ninth, in a 6-6 tie, I could not overcome the dark doubt in the far recesses of my mind that...

You just can't put too much stock into any of the games the Cubs play this week, even if they're against potential playoff opponents playing for everything as the Cubs play for nothing. But if you consider them the practice tests before the Cubs have to take the ACT's next week, I think a few members of the Cubs need to do a cram session this weekend.
