Mets right-hander Jenrry Mejia (1-0 2.45) stepped in to make a rehab start Monday night in St. Lucie’s game against the Bradenton Marauders. It was Mejia’s second rehab start in his attempt to come back from last year’s Tommy John Surgery. In his first game on May 9th against Brevard County, Mejia went five innings giving up two earned runs on four hits and two walks, with one strikeout.
In his start tonight Mejia went the first six innings while giving up just one run on three hits with no walks, and seven strikeouts. The one run he gave up was a solo home run to ex-Met farmhand Stef Welch. After Mejia pitched, St. Lucie went on to win the game with three innings of lock-down relief by righty Johan Almonte. The 4-1 victory was the first W for Mejia since April 13th, 2011.
When I spoke with Wally Backman at the end of April, I asked him if he was going to get Mejia there with the Bisons, once the young righty is deemed healthy and ready to go. Wally said simply, “we’ll get him.” We...

May 14, 2012
As the Mets try to recuperate from their second ninth inning meltdown in the last three days, Monday morning started out with a dose of good news — the Mets are preparing a formal offer to retain David Wright.
Whether you want to or not, it’s very easy to think about how the whole Jose Reyes situation panned out when thinking about Wright’s future in the orange and blue, but...

The New York Mets caught a good ol’ fashion butt kicking at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night, but all of that was just a footnote to what occurred during the seventh inning. Following a solo blast by Rickie Weeks, Mets reliever DJ Carrasco drilled Brewers slugger and last years NL MVP on the next pitch with a “sinker” in the upper part of his left shoulder...

To be clear, I mean that as an actual question, not a rhetorical one. It’s a question with lots of reasonable, subjective answers. The Mets have been lucky, because David Wright has rediscovered his stardom, and Kirk Nieuwenhuis has unexpectedly settled right into the Major League lineup, and Johan Santana‘s left arm is not only still attached to his body seven starts into...

Recap:
Despite a valiant effort by Jon Niese and the New York Mets, who have scratched and clawed for every win this year, the bullpen for the second time this series could not hold it together, dropping the rubber game on a walk-off grand slam by Mike Giancarlo Stanton, 8-4.

Tonight the Mets got excellent performances from Miguel Batista, Daniel Murphy and a perfectly executed squeeze bunt from Ronny Cedeno to lead the team to a 3-1 win in the first of two against the Brewers. Also note-worthy, is that Frank Francisco was able to record his 9th save of the season, although it wasn’t easy.

Morning Grind: Why The Negativity Towards Wright?

May 14, 2012
I have noticed a theme both here and across the entire Mets fanbase of an increasing percentage of people who look at David Wright in a bad light. They put him down no matter how well he is performing and are the first to jump on him when he makes an error or strikes out in a key spot; and that’s just not right. If you are a true fan of your team, you should root FOR the longest...

New York Mets closer Frank Francisco has blown a lot of games this season but yesterday he blew his top and it may have cost him his job.
Francisco didn't even retire a batter in the top of the ninth against the Miami Marlins before he was pulled from the game, walked towards home plate and started to unload a barrage of expletives at home plate umpire Todd Tichenor.

NEW YORK -- Frank Francisco heard the boos in the ninth inning at Citi Field on Monday, as he threatened to blow his second straight save. Earlier, the New York Mets had used a suicide squeeze play, an error and an RBI single to build a three-run lead while starter Miguel Batista and a pair of relievers shut out the Milwaukee Brewers for the first eight innings.
