For those of you who follow the rule, younger is always better and every farmhand would be a major leaguer if the organization would just stop signing veterans, you'll have to bare with me on this one. I usually find one veteran reclamation project to root for each spring, most of the time they ...

Francesa vs. the Mets
According to Adam Rubin, Mike Francesa has arrived in Port St Lucie. It doesn?t appear that either David Wright or Ryan Church will appear as guests. Good for them, why should the Mets accommodate one of the most biased and uninformed talk show hosts, when it comes to baseball, in the country. ...
Francesa Rips Wright and Church After They Snub Him
"Wright is not a clutch player, he can't handle pressure, maybe the Mets should have thought about breaking up the core; Reyes, Wright and Beltran. Wright won't make it in New York because he can't handle the pressure, and he is very immature."
Burkhardt A Pleasure To Listen To
Since its inception, SNY has been known for its top-notch broadcasting team of Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling. There might not be a better team in the business. The addition of Kevin Burkhardt, (the Mets? clubhouse/field reporter since the 2007 season), has made them even better. ...
Start Praying...
Today is a big day Mets fans. Not big in terms of a potential make or break game... It's too early for that.
However, depending on how Santana feels after his bullpen session it could be a big day in what could become a make or break
In a little while, Johan Santana will take one of ...

Memo to Mets: Extra Caution with Johan
By now we've all heard the reports that triceps tendinitis is the culprit behind Johan's tender throwing elbow.
The news is enough to send Met nation into a tizzy, and rightfully so.
As reported on...
NY Sports Dog--a Place for Mets Fans
Johan Santana has a history of elbow issues
First of all, great work by Phil Allard for bringing the much more problematic Johan Santana elbow problem to the readers of NY Baseball Digest, almost a full hour before WFAN had it in one of their updates.
The recent information about Johan Santana having even bigger problems with his pitching elbow has caused quite a [...]
Wright and Church Stand Up to Bully Francesa
Great job by David Wright and Ryan Church for not going on Mike Francesa?s show today. The Francesa rant afterwards also was uncalled for. Mike can say all he wants that it ?doesn?t matter? if Wright or Church go on his show - in reality it does. The list of individuals who are tired of ...
Breaking News: Santana May Not Be Ready To Start Season
Now I'm really starting to worry... The Mets are the most notorious team in baseball for downplaying injuries or misreporting the true extent of injuries to their players.
Tim Redding Bullpen Session Scratched
Mets pitcher, Tim Redding has been on the shelf with what's being called a minor sore

Hot or Not: Grapefruit Edition!

So far this spring, we've had the good, the bad, and the Freddy Garcia.The Good*Jose Reyes looked really good coming out of ...
Mets Prospect #15: RHP Eddie Kunz
Last year Eddie Kunz was in my top 10 prospects, now he barely cracks the top 15 getting #15. Kunz is a big right hander that the Mets drafted in the supplemental first round of the 2007 draft(their first pick of the draft) out of Oregon State University. He pitched poorly for Brooklyn in his [...]
This line-up might not last but it looks good...
Well Dan Warthen may look like the mad scientist ( I mean that with affection) but Jerry Manuel might be winning the actual title. Even Jerry admitted that his unusual line-up changes might not make it out of spring training but after the second exhibition game they sure look effective.Luis ...
Randy Jones
Hear former Cy Young Award winner Randy Jones. Fans remember Randy as the crafty left hander that would complete his games in record time. He finished second in the Cy Young Award to Tom Seaver in 1975, and won it in 1976. Randy is also one of the few pitchers that can lay claim to [...]
The Mets Are 2-0 Also
The Mets are 2-0 Also
I forgot to touch on this yesterday but the Mets won their opener yesterday and also came back today and won in their grapefruit league opener. Luis Castillo has been the leadoff hitter and looks very good so far, having 5 rbi yesterday and a single, stolen base and 2 walks today. Jose Reyes batting third had 2 hrs, maybe Manuel is right batting...
