Church and Wagner coming along...., Wagner sooner - Church Later!

Church Factor: The seemingly endless Ryan Church Ryan Church saga took a positive turn yesterday when he made his first game appearance of any kind in nearly six weeks. Serving as the designated hitter, Church went 1-for-3 with an RBI single against the Cardinals' Gulf Coast League affiliate in Florida. He will play DH again today if he shows no symptoms of the post...

Parnell started strong but faded in the end.....

The Mets second best pitching prospect is trying to dispel the label of reliever. Robert Parnell has been projected as a top reliever but the pitching prospect has been starting since selected by the Mets in 2005. His first year wasn't very note worthy in 2006 but in 2007 he started 29 games going 8-8 with a 4.19 ERA between FSL and Binghamton. This year he started 24 games for...

Wagner to pitch simulated game Saturday

Mets closer Billy Wagner is in Pittsburgh and will throw a simulated game Saturday afternoon. He was originally scheduled to pitch for Class-A Brooklyn Saturday.

Wagner pitches perfect inning for Binghamton

Billy Wagner threw a perfect 7th inning for the Binghamton Mets. He threw 16 pitches 11 for strikes,,, sr_adspace_id = 3734407; sr_adspace_width = 300; sr_adspace_height = 250; sr_adspace_type = "graphic"; sr_ad_new_window = true;

Wagner will get rehab start for Binghamton

Now the Mets' world has really turned upside down. In his first rehab appearance, Billy Wagner will start for Double-A Binghamton Thursday night and throw 15-20 pitches. While it's a typical move for injured relievers to begin games to ensure they'll get their work in, it's hard to ignore the irony of the situation, because the Mets are mulling whether to push...

Pelfrey under the microscope

In the eighth inning of last night's game, my e-mail inbox started filling up with messages from from Mets fans. Friends and fans asked, "Why did Manuel pull Pelfrey? He's only thrown 98 pitches. The bullpen is going to blow this … again … blah, blah, blah …"

Church & Nixon returning do we need anyone else......

I've been a big advocate of the Mets obtaining another bat but now with the injured moving closer to returning I'm not sure if we need one. It's ironic to bring this up on a night when we win 2-1 against the struggling Pirates but the Mets found away to win without three of their projected starters. Because of the nature of Ryan Church's injury I have never expected...

Stokes saves bullpen, then game

Brian Stokes may be in the spotlight, but the Mets bullpen reaped the benefits on Wednesday night's 12-0 win.

inGame: Mets 9, Nationals 3

The New York Mets (65-56) completed a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals (44-78) with a 9-3 win on Thursday.

Bizarro Bullpen

Over at Metsblog, the always-entertaining Joe Janish (also of Mets Today) wrote a brief but interesting opinion piece about how the Mets' bullpen woes could be largely resolved by using the staff "in reverse." It was written in response to Jerry Manuel's claims of "anything goes" regarding his bullpen, and is mostly done in jest, [...]

Pedro: 'I haven't pitched enough for these people'

Pedro Martinez, the alleged offender, has pled guilty. The charge: underperformance. In Gordon Edes Yahoo! Sports baseball column Thursday, Martinez said, "I haven't pitched enough for these people. I don't know if I'm going to end up doing what I'm supposed to do, like I did in Boston in the last year."

Vidro a free agent, would he make sense for the Mets.....

On August 5 the Mariners placed Jose Vidro on outright waivers ( not trade waivers) meaning they had 10 days to trade him or grant his release. After being unsuccessful in trade attempts Seattle has granted him his outright release. The Mariners are now on the hook for his 8.5mil. salary while another team can sign him at league minimum without it costing any prospects. Back when...

Mets sweep Nationals by the score of 9-3!

Oliver Perez continues to pitch well. He pitch 6.2 innings, gave up 3 runs and struck out 8. The bullpen pitched 2.1 innings, even though Joe Smith managed to walk 2. Carlos Delgado Hit his 26th HR, Schneider hit his 3rd.... Box Score: NEW YORK (65-56) ...
