Pence could make his debut this evening in the third portion of a four-game series versus the New York Mets at AT&T Park and was acquired before Tuesday's trade deadline from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for a trio of players. The Giants parted ways with right fielder Nate Schierholtz, catching prospect Tommy Joseph and minor league pitcher Seth Rosin. "Walking into the stadium was amazing," Pence said.

All Quiet On The Flushing Front: Trade Deadline Passes As Mets Stay Idle

Via Long Island Met Fan  |  July 31, 2012
The trade deadline ended at 4:00 PM EDT and while the Mets Eastern Division rival were saying 'No Mas' in dealing away 2/3 of their outfield, the Mets stood idly by and didn't make a move. Surprised? I'm not. The Mets don't have much to deal from in the way of trades. Scott Hairston has had a good year, but would not garner the type of player that would make...

Mets 2, Giants 1

Via AP on Fox  |  August 02, 2012
Jonathon Niese scattered three hits over seven innings and Ruben Tejada homered for the first time in almost two years and singled twice, leading the New York Mets past the San Francisco Giants 2-1 on Wednesday night. All San Francisco could squeeze out of Niese (8-5) was a two-out homer by Buster Posey in the sixth, the All-Star catcher's 14th long ball this season. Niese struck...

Mets Make The Right Move, Do Nothing At The Deadline

Via Mets Merized Online  |  August 01, 2012
July was a terrible month for Mets fans. After exiting the All Star break primed for a post season run, the season has spiraled out of control. Poor pitching, compounded by poorer execution at the plate and shotty defense have seen the Mets post season dreams, along with those of fans, shattered in short order. Understandably this has left the roster frustrated and the fanbase angry...

Locked In: Mets Earn Win despite Leaving Flood Gates Closed

Via NY Sports Nut  |  August 02, 2012
In an already wild series in the Bay Area, things got even more bizarre on Wednesday night. It all started in the first inning when Ruben Tejada led off the game with a home run to deep left field. It was his first home run in his last 629 at bats. The Mets would later add to their lead in the second when Jordany Valdespin grounded to Marko Scutaro for the force out at third. Josh...

With season down the tubes, makes no sense for Mets to make a trade, or does it?

Via Baseball Reflections  |  July 31, 2012
Logo taken from Google Images Coming into the season, it seemed like the New York Mets were a step behind a lot of organizations in baseball, particularly in their own division. The Phillies and Marlins were supposed to be among the best in the league (LOL) and the Braves and Nationals were still considered better than the Mets. During the first half of the season (like the past...

O'Donnell was right after all, Pence to Giants

Via The Dodgerhater  |  July 31, 2012
A couple nights ago, Dennis O'Donnell of KPIX twittered about that the Giants "have acquired Hunter Pence". It started a wildfire of retweets (re-posts for you old people not on Twitter), by everyone and their mother, including Andy Baggarly of CSN.  With fans going nuts over this apparent news, KPIX ran the story even after Baggarly had confirmed with Bobby...

The Giants have lost five in a row, all at home. They lead the NL West by one percentage point over the Dodgers. Hairston hit two-run homer in the eighth as the Mets scored four times for a 6-4 lead.

One of the more underrated disappointments, the Carlos Baerga trade

Via Baseball Reflections  |  August 02, 2012
On this date in 1996, the New York Mets traded 2B Jeff Kent and SS Jose Vizcaino to the Cleveland Indians for All Star 2B Carlos Baerga and SS Alvaro Espinosa. It was the second of three trades the Mets made for All Star 2Bs that did not work out. In 1989, the Mets traded OF Lenny Dykstra and RHP Roger McDowell to the Philadelphia Phillies for Juan Samuel and prior to the 2002...
