I just went to Mets.com to pick up some Mets shirts for the season. In addition to wearing MetsOnline.com gear from the MetsOnline Store and shirts from other unofficial Mets clothing distributers like The 7 Line, I like to wear official player tees. I figured this season I’d like to get a Lucas Duda shirt. So I did some searching at the Mets store online to try and find myself a Duda shirt. Well, what do I find? A Carlos Beltran shirt, a Jose Reyes shirt, a Francisco Rodriguez shirt AND a K-Rod shirt (yes, two separate items), and no Lucas Duda shirt. I search some more and I find a Gary Sheffield Mets shirt. Yes, I’m walking about the shirt in the picture to the right. Here’s the link if you want to buy it (kidding). Sheffield did hit pretty well for the Mets, and he hit his 500th career homerun with the team too. He hit .276 (.372 OBP) with hit 10 homeruns in 268 at bats with the Mets in 2009. But that was it… He is a baseball star. But, not a Mets star. He was a guy who played ...

Via Mets Merized Online  |  April 01, 2012
With the Mets first game under a week away, fans and analysts write this season as a disappointment already without it even starting. Realistically  the 2012 New York Mets wont be playing in any games of relevance deep into the summer and to the early parts of the fall.

Pelfrey Strong Again, I’m Hallucinating, And Ike Davis Walks Off For The Mets In A 7-6 Win

Via Mets Merized Online  |  April 03, 2012
Kudos to Mike Pelfrey who looked sharp in his last spring tune-up on the route to a walk-off victory for the Mets over the Skankees, 7-6. Summary Either I am going crazy or Mike Pelfrey has actually been pitching better since the last time I yelled at him in a recap. Much appreciated Big Pelf – I will be sure to keep you in line during the season. On a serious note, Pelfrey pitched...

Bay Losing His Grip On Starting Job

Via Mets Merized Online  |  April 02, 2012
Here is a followup to a post I wrote last week on Jason Bay AKA The 500 Pound Gorilla In The Corner Outfield. Mike Puma of the  NY Post writes this morning: A club official yesterday floated the possibility that if Bay is struggling six or seven weeks into the season, the Mets could explore other options, including a platoon in left. Bay is hitting .195 with no RBIs this spring...

Collins: Parnell Will Not Be Used As A Starter

Via Mets Merized Online  |  April 02, 2012
Well that didn’t last long. According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, Terry Collins said Parnell would not be used to make spot starts this season, but instead would be used for multiple inning stints out of the bullpen. I have to point out a comment left earlier today on this thread by Original Mets Fan: I dont believe a lot of what Martino says. Nothing against the guy...

Could We Be Seeing Mike Pelfrey’s Last Starts In a Mets Uniform?

Via BigAppleMetsTalk  |  April 03, 2012
For the past few seasons it was believed that Mets starter Mike Pelfrey had the goods to be a top of the the rotation type starter.  in 2012 he had his best season as a pro as he won 15 games against just 9 losses.  His career low 3.66 ERA and dominance for most of the season warranted thoughts that he had finally put it together.  Mets fans had dreams of slotting him behind...

Mets All In As Spring Training Comes to a Close

Via Double G Sports  |  April 04, 2012
Based on yesterday’s spring training game against the Yankees, it looks like all the Mets will be on the field on Opening Day. Tim Byrdak and Andres Torres both took part in today’s game.
