RA DICKEY RUMORS & GOSSIP

We should all own this shirt

R.A. Dickey just won National League Player of the Week. He also recently wrote a great book called Wherever I Wind Up: My Quest For Truth, Authenticity and the Perfect Knuckleball. The Mets changed their jerseys this season, basically removing the terrible black alternate jerseys from their repertoire and removing the black drop shadows, creating a cleaner, more authentic, and...

R.A. Dickey Named National League Player of the Week

New York Mets right-hander R.A. Dickey has been named the National League Player of the Week for the period ending May 27th. The announcement was made earlier today on MLB Network.

Face it: for two institutions so grounded in perpetual...

R.A. Dickey – Is Mets Knuckleballer An All-Star?

Pre Game: Mets vs Padres

Dickey was spectacular last start against the Pirates. This afternoon the Mets take on the Padres in game 3 of this Memorial Day weekend series.  Along with their being a game today, one of the best traditions in baseball is reborn.  Banner Day has been resurrected and will be held for the first time at Citi Field.  I was nicely, or NOT so nicely, asked by Mets management to refrain...

Into the minds of Mets pitchers including Jeremy Hefner and R.A. Dickey

We are always quick to judge a pitcher on his work performance. If he does not perform up to our standards, then we have no problem calling for management to give him his walking papers. Yet how often do we really think about what is going on in the mind of a pitcher? When was the last time you cared about what the mindset of a pitcher was? I’m not talking about just one of those...
