Mets acquire Brian Stokes from the Rays
The New York Mets announced today that they have acquired right-handed relief pitcher Brian Stokes from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for cash considerations. Stokes will be added to New York's 40-man roster, which now stands at 36.
Stokes, 28, went 2-7 with a 7.07 ERA in 59 games for Tampa Bay last year. In 62.1 innings, the 6-1, 210-pounder allowed 90 hits, 49 runs, earned...
Ye of the Slanty-Straight Brim: One of Baseball's Great Mysteries

It's one of baseballs' great mysteries. The examples are few and far between. But they are there, and they are unmistakable.
No doubt you've seen one. During tonight's All-Star Game, it was Edinson Volquez. My most memorable was Mike Cameron, as a member of the New York Mets. No matter where these men travel, their distinctive and completely inexplicable style...

I admit that if Marlon Anderson looked like the player who hit .210 in 2008 I was the first in line to cut him. I think players leave themselves vulnerable to criticism when they down play their injuries, everybody loves a gritty player who fights through injuries but a player who says he's fine ...

It's a bit of a double standard, aside from Johan Santana who hasn't taken the mound as of yet the Mets starters who are guaranteed spots have been less then impressive. But all we've heard about is the fifth starters spot and how bad the candidates have been; Livan's been ok, Freddy awful, ...

Here we are once again in a painfully all too familiar scenario. For the second consecutive year we are spending September looking over our shoulder. Yet again as October approaches, the Mets can not seem to do anything right. The hot breath we feel on the back of our neck is that of the Phillies. The team 90 miles to the south is threatening to thwart our post-season dreams for...

Delmon Young/Matt Garza Trade Discussion
Could this finally be "The Year of the Ray"? In this post from FIO's Free For All writers' blog, staff writer Tim Hays discusses how the addition of another young arm to a rotation could help put Tampa Bay into the mix in the AL East this coming season. Sure, they lost a five-star stud, but the Devil Rays woes have always centered around pitching - now if only...
Santana had to go
The Twins tried to make a last-minute offer to Johan Santana by offering him a five-year, $100 million offer. Santana and his agent, Peter Greenberg, rejected it so therefore, the team had no choice, but to trade their ace.
Santana was sent to the New York Mets for pitchers Kevin Mulvey, Phil Humber ...

Was Delmon Young Traded For Being (Too) Black?
In the wake of the blockbuster Twins trade, one Tampa paper proclaimed there was a 50% chance of Delmon Young turning into Elijah Dukes, while a Tampa TV station's blog said the chance was 100%. Somebody had to take issue with that and invoke the images of Gary Sheffield, Al Davis and Jackie Robinson. All to keep the dream of a more perfect Devil Rays alive.
Seagulls drop in on Mets-Tigers game
Dozens of seagulls dropped in on the Detroit Tigers-New York Mets game Sunday in Detroit. They interrupted play at least once, and some of them hung around the entire game. At least none of them were killed, not like some of the unlucky birds in the video below.
Random Thoughts??????
- Is it me, or does Pedro Martinez at the 2009 bargain price of a John Smoltz, Brad Penny or Bartolo Colon make a lot of sense as the Mets? fifth
- The way JOBA Chamberlain is pitching right now, he?d probably walk WILT Chamberlain, even with his expanded strike
- With all due ...
