Tatis sits, sore hand......

I've said all winter that I thought it was a risk for the Mets to rely on Murphy/Tatis for left field. With just two months of major league experience under his belt Murphy has been anointed the full time left fielder but as much as Manuel likes his hitting and work ethic it might be as much ...

The Mets Are All In On Dan Murphy... So Am I...

Renney Fired

Rangers Report is stating that Tom Renney and Perry Pearn have been fired. Whether it's the right move, whether it's Renney's fault or that of GM Glen Sather, none of it matters anymore. The truth is, this was an ongoing story that distracted the team big-time. Simply put, this HAD to happen. And, quite frankly, it should have happened at least two weeks ago.The question...

Church Says He Is The Rightfielder... Period.

I was waiting to hear what Church would say after Jerry Manuel proclaimed Dan Murphy the starting left fielder, and then hinting that Fernando Tatis would most likely take playing time away from Church against The wait is David Lennon of Newsday In the wake of ...

Good signs cont. from Louie...

He hasn't just shed 17 lbs and felt that's enough, Of Course; there's public relations spin behind this but it's still refreshing to hear nothing but positive things about Luis Castillo. Whether it's the bounce in his step, smile on his face, interaction in the field with Reyes or hitting in the ...

Evans never played 2B

I completed a post the other day, I might add purely speculation in which I pondered whether the Mets were considering moving Nick Evans to 2B. Jose Reyes and David Wright will anchor the left side of the infield for several years to come and there has been some talk of Dan Murphy moving to 1B ...

Murphy’s the man in left: why it makes the Mets better

New York Mets 2009 Rundown: Ramon Castro

A first round pick in the 1994 amateur draft by the Houston Astros, Ramon Castro has become a mainstay in New York as a Met. Twice he has seen himself become the front-runner to become the Mets' starting catcher, but both times Omar Minaya has traded to bring in a catcher from another organization (Lo Duca, Schneider). Castro is now considered one of the best backup catchers...

So When Exactly Can I Buy Yankee or Mets Tickets

Today we are officially 6 weeks away from the start of the baseball season. I'm obviously geared up to start purchasing some tickets and to figure out when I will be making my first trips to the new NYC ball parks.
