This isn't hindsight second guessing, I was screaming for the Mets to acquire a true set-up man all off season. I'll admit that some of the guys I suggested would have been just as bad as who we have but others would have really solidified this pen. My first idea would have been to over pay   more...

The Mets 38-year affiliation with the Norfolk Tide ended in 2007 and while it made business sense for the Tide to sign with a local team ( Orioles) it was also rumored that they were dissatisfied with the product the Mets were giving them to put on the field. Under Omar Minaya's regime, no longer   more...

Many have heard the names Jon Neise and Bobby Parnell as possible call ups in Sept., both are in AAA New Orleans and have had mixed results. Parnell was bombed in his last outing and has an ERA of 7.43 with a record of 1-2. Neise has had four two run outings including tonight and two four run   more...

All season long the Mets offense went to sleep once the opposition took the lead, in fact this season the Mets still haven't come back to win a game after trailing by four or more runs. But suddenly around Aug. 15 the Mets started hitting in the clutch late in games. To an interested spectator   more...

Well it's now official, there seemed to be some confusion as to who was being designated to make room for the players the Mets wanted to call-up. Initially it was reported that Lugo was designated but then Willie Collazo was on the actual transaction list. Then it was reported that both Collazo and   more...

The Mets have a playoff caliber rotation, solid defense and while the offense tends to drive you crazy when the injured return along with plugging in call up guys it's enough.But this bullpen now, as it's currently constructed it just not going to get it done in late Sept. and Oct. (if were there).   more...

As I said last night I'd prefer to use Claudio Vargas if Maine is going to be replaced for multiple games. The offense and pen would know exactly what they were getting, something in the area of four runs over six innings, which is solid for a fifth starter. I missed it last night but Claudio   more...

As expected the Mets recalled pitchers Ricardo Rincon, Carlos Muniz, Bobby Parnell, Jon Niese and Al Reyes, along with position players Ramon Martinez, Gustavo Molina and Argenis Reyes. They also decided to bring up pitcher Brandon Knight and activate Marlon Anderson from the DL. To make room for   more...

Well there was some speculation about whether Jon Niese would start on Tues. Just Saturday Lo Hud Journal had an article quoting pitching coach Dan Warthen as saying that Niese was doubtful to start because he didn't like the match-ups. Well either that was a smoke screen, the Mets didn't have a   more...
