Is Daniel Murphy Trade Bait?

When SNY's cameras pan to Daniel Murphy in the dugout of a closely contested game, you'll see it all out on his sleeve. Each strike thrown to a batter is met with a look of concern, while each base hit is greeted with applause and an enthusiastic reaction. Just as he lives and dies with each pitch, Murphy is often the first on the field after a walk-off and the first to believe...

Collins Sparks Culture Change And It’s Paying Off

Several times this season the Mets answered a winning streak with a losing one. They have won five straight and you wouldn’t be wrong to wonder if the other shoe will drop this weekend in Miami. Great timing to have Johan Santana start in the opener. While you and I might wonder, nobody in the Mets’ clubhouse is thinking along those lines. Terry Collins won’t allow it. The...

Wilmer Flores Is Finally Starting To Put It Together

I know it’s early, but the promising start to the 2012 campaign for Mets former top prospect Wilmer Flores is extremely encouraging.  He was ranked at the top of the organization in recent years due to his hitting ability and future potential, but did not live up to the hype on the field.

R.A. Dickey: From Knuckleball to Wiffleball (Video)

Man of the people The art of the knuckleball is almost lost in Major League Baseball, but there is one man keeping that art alive. His name is R.A. Dickey, of the New York Mets. With the recent departure and retirement of Tim Wakefield from MLB, R.A. Dickey is the last remaining “knuckleballer” in the “League.” For those who don’t know, a “knuckleballer” is a pitcher who...

David Wright is playing so well. He is batting .376 with 3 homeruns and 18 RBIs. He has become the leader of this clubhouse, and If you have watched the Mets in the past decade he is “the last man standing” from the “old Mets”. Somebody make this man captain of our team!

An anemic offense, an imploding bullpen and now defensive mishaps do in the Phils as they lose to the Mets, 7-4.

An offense that seems to be mainly in neutral, a bullpen that is leaking losses and now a defense that is making mistakes, help the Phils lose their second straight series, as they lose to the Mets, 7-4. The Phils jumped off to a quick 2-0 lead as, with one man on, and with two men out, Hunter Pence hits a two-run home run, his seventh home run of the season, knocking in Juan Pierre...
