An In Depth Look At Citi Field
In March of 2006, while the New York Mets players were preparing for what would be one of the team’s best seasons to date, the Mets higher ups were busy working on a new home for the team. The team had not seen a new ball park in over four decades and with the creation of SNY, the Wilpons felt it would be an opportune time to modernize the team’s home. Ground broke on the ...

He Shall Be Livan
I watched a couple of innings of Livan Hernandez' start today, and DVR'ed the rest to watch later. I came away from it convinced of two things: one, that Hernandez has a huge lead in the fifth starter derby, and two, on a good day I can still bring my "fastball" a couple of mph faster than El Duque's kid brother.
Still, Hernandez keeps pitching well, and none...

Trachsel Signs With Orioles
Digging for a veteran rotation presence in Erik Bedard's absence, the Orioles have signed Steve Trachsel to a minor league deal. The Baltimore rotation might be Trax's best chance at making 30 starts, anywhere. He made 29 starts in '07, 25 of them with the Orioles. The O's quietly...

Catching Up With Some Former Mets
Today is a slow news day, as the players only had a one hour workout today in preparation of the first intrasquad game tomorrow. In the mean time, I thought it’d be fun to catch up with some former Mets, and see what they are up to since departing the Mets. SP Steve Trachsel – Trachsel last appeared with the Mets in 2006 when he won 15 games and was a key member of...

King for a Day: the Cubs' One-Time Game #1 Starters
As noted here and everywhere else yesterday, Lou Piniella has decided to give Carlos Zambrano the Opening Day assignment at Houston. It will be the fifth time Zambrano has had the honor; the Cubs have gone 2-2 in Z's previous Opening Day outings.
Fergie Jenkins started seven openers for the Cubs, while Rick Sutcliffe started five, and Rick Reuschel, four. The real fun in...

Rob Dibble: "Mark McGwire is a cheat"
Plenty of people have lobbed criticism toward Mark McGwire in the past few days. But I'm not sure anyone's worked up quite as much indignation as our own Rob Dibble. His opening monologue during his daily Sirius XM show on Tuesday was straight fire, the sort of thing that would have Bob Carpenter scrambling under his desk and looking for cover. "This guy cheated every...

Oriole Invite 12 Non-Roster Players to Spring Training
Some thoughts on the 12 non-roster invitees:Scott Moore: I've been a fan of Moore's for awhile. Moore came over from the Cubs in the Steve Trachsel trade but due to various injuries (most recently his thumb) he only played in 82 games in 2008 and 32 games in 2009. I like giving a healthy Scott Moore a shot to play third for Baltimore in 2010 than signing Joe Crede or Miguel...

Livan Hernandez to the Twins: The Fantasy Impact
And the guy who's going to replace Johan Santana in the 2008 Twins rotation is…Livan Hernandez? That's exciting…The Twins are one of those teams who are constantly in rebuilding/playoff mode, and it usually works for them. Unlike the Orioles, who are incapable of doing either mode correctly (though they've finally started rebuilding correctly after about 10...

What To Do With John Maine - We've Seen This Before
The big question of the day: "What to do with John Maine." We all know the SS Maine has been sinking for the better part of two years, and looks beyond repair. This isn't the first time this has happened. The Mets, not too long ago, had another pitcher who never put up great numbers, but was a good pitcher. His apparent demise seemed inescapable in May 2001. The pitcher...

Time To Do Something With Perez?
The Mets designated Claudio Vargas for assignment after last night disgraceful 11-0 loss to the lowly Seattle Mariners. Carlos Muniz was recalled to take his spot on the roster. I don't think this move had much to do with his disappointing performance in last night's game as Vargas had been pitching pretty well before that. Rather I think the Mets may finally be preparing...

Don’t Wanna See These American Idiots
I’ve been dying to see the Mets play the Tigers in Flushing since a little before 8:00 PM on Saturday, October 14, 2006.

Mets Twist The Knife In My Gut
I’m not gonna lie and say I saw the game, cause I didn’t. I knew they were up 1-0 before I went to work, then found out they lost 6-5. But that’s it, that they lost, but not how they had lost.
That I found out an hour later and it pissed me off. Then it made me wonder.
‘Was this the game that defines the season?’
Is this the loss that proves to Mets...
