Sheffield Out For The Season

Carlos Beltran returns to the Mets starting lineup tonight for the first time in more than two months, reports Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post. While his return will not help the Mets avoid missing the playoffs for the third straight year, Beltran’s return should bring some legitimacy to the Mets lineup. Finally some upbeat news [...]

Not so much a recap this morning, but instead an anatomy of one single at-bat… An at-bat that almost was… Last night, with the Mets down 4-2 and the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh, Carlos Beltran made his way from the batting circle to the plate. “Could this really be happening?”, I thought to [...]

Any Met fans still holding their breath to see Gary Sheffield or Carlos Delgado back in the middle of the lineup should stop. Jerry Manuel is doubtful either injured slugger will play again this season.

Carlos Beltran becomes the first Mets superstar to return from a long-term injury: Both The New York Post and The Daily News are reporting that Carlos Beltran will likely take the field tonight as the Mets play the Marlins at 7:10 p.m. His willingness to start playing again even though the Mets are clearly out of [...]

Carlos Beltran made his return to the Mets tonight after missing 70 games and just missed out on being the hero in the 7th inning. With the bases loaded and two outs, Beltran came to the plate and hit a deep drive to right field.  Rightfielder Cody Ross turned and chased the ball to the track as Beltran’s ball fell a few feet short of the wall.  The Mets fell to the Marlins...

Despite the injury-riddled season the big club has had this year, there is a silver lining for 2009. It's hard to imagine the farm system having a better season than it did this year. Many prospects took a huge step forward. Despite what media members might write, the mets farm is looking up at the end of 2009.The bad news for Fernando Martinez was it turned out to be another...

Outfielder Carlos Beltran came within a few feet of a grand slam in the seventh inning Tuesday night. He finished 1-for-4 in his first game since June 21 as the Mets lost to the Marlins, 4-2.

The Mets' 4-2 victory over the Cubs was marred by yet another incident of another incident involving another water leak that turned into a tidal wave in the locker room. John Maine, who made his return to the clubhouse recently from injury, never had a chance. Maine, unfortunately, drowned as a result of the latest mishap. He's day to day. The damage to the state of the art...

John Maine hasn't pitched since June 6 after being put on the disabled list retroactive to the next day with what the Mets termed "weakness" in his right shoulder. But he could be back by Sunday, starting the second game of a doubleheader in Philad...

I was thinking of some players on the Mets current roster that intrigue me for 2010. My criteria for these players are that they are inexpensive, yet could play a role with the big league ballclub. Josh Thole/Omir Santos – Thole is the most obvious name that comes to mind. It’s great that he is 4-9 [...]

Hanley Ramirez and Cameron Maybin each hit a long two-run homer, and the Florida Marlins beat the New York Mets 4-2 on Tuesday night to keep up their surprising playoff push.

If the first relief pitcher in place of a starter blows a game for a starting pitcher and ends up getting the win, the credited victory should not go to the relief pitcher who blew the lead.
