I went to my first game of 2012 last Friday (4/20). Dinner at McFadden’s with my wife & my cousin & his wife beforehand, meeting up with my friend Greg Prince during and a surprisingly – and dispiritingly – quick exit after. It was a great night and a very good game, despite the final outcome. But for one bad inning, Jonathon Neise was stellar. The Mets got some unexpected power and clutch fielding from Jason Bay and Kirk Nieuwenhuis, and had an exciting game-tying rally in the ninth. Unfortunately, the Giants put on an exciting rally of their own in the tenth and came away with a 4-3 win. That’s baseball, right?
Next day, a game which featured stout pitching – from Mike Pelfrey, of all people! — turned into a sloth in the bottom of the eighth. Baserunning accidents, leather hiccups and clipped heels were the order of the last inning-and-a-half on Saturday. The Mets won. That’s baseball, right?
The 2012 Mets seem to be more “baseball” than most teams. These guys...

Bay Placed On DL, Lutz Recalled - Ike To Be Platooned?

It was announced earlier this afternoon that Jason Bay suffered a non-displaced fracture of his rib. Lutz, who was recalled from Buffalo can be used as a 3B or 1B.
Chances of Lutz seeing the Hot Corner are slim, so makes one wonder if this means that Fearless Ike, after a dreadful start, might be put into a platoon situation with Lutz.

Just as soon as the Mets put Jason Bay (ribs) and Mike Pelfrey (elbow) on the disabled list, the Mets go ahead and win two straight games over the Miami Marlins while also ruining the Jose Reyes homecoming in the process.
Everything is right in the world, correct?

Jason Bay to 15 day DL.
Jason Bay cracked a rib on his left side in last night's game 2 diving for a ball he couldn't keep in his glove. Jason looked banged up on the lack of play but smoked a single up the middle in his next AB. The swing was one of the best Mets Blob has ever seen Jason put on a ball. The Blob knows that's not saying much. Well, for those of us who...
