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. ...

The Mets chose Mike Pelfrey with the ninth overall pick in the 2005 MLB Draft. ?Big Pelf? quickly worked his way through the minor league system and a little over a year later found himself on the mound for the big league club. In 2007, Pelfrey was given the role of the team?s fifth starter. All season, Pelfrey struggled and could not master his command. He finished the year with...
Lefties sound desperate....
A few months ago these guys were supposedly turning down two year deals, holding out for contracts similar to what Scott Schoeneweis got two years ago. It sounded like the Mets were very interested in Will Ohman and he wanted to play for an east coast, NL contender. But after the rumors became ...

Live Baseball for a Change...
The exhibition games kick off in a few minutes and the Orioles take on the Mets in Fort Lauderdale this afternoon to finally start some live baseball. The game will be on MLB.tv, there should be a radio feed available; however, there's no video online. I think 105.7 should also have a stream of ...
