The Fall of A Star
Today, marks the end of an era for the Mets. It's sad since that era did not really get a chance to begin. But with the waiving of once highly touted prospect Fernando Martinez, the organization can finally move past what has become a pipe dream.Signed by Omar Minaya back in 2005 at the age of 16, Fernando was seen as the next great thing, twice being listed as the organization's...

My Mets 2011-2012 Offseason Wishlist
After another disappointing season for the New York Mets, it is time to continue the rebuilding process in an effort to get better. In order to do so, I believe that the Mets must make these moves during the offseason. Priority #1: Re-sign Jose Reyes Coming off a season in which he had the best year of his career (.337 average, .384 on base %, .493 slugging) including the first batting...

Why trading away Francisco Rodriguez is a good thing
After a long day atwork on Tuesday, I come home only to hear that closer Francisco Rodriguez has been traded away to the Milwaukee Brewers. My initial thoughts consisted of "Why would we do that? We're still in the Wild Card hunt." and "Uh-oh, here comes the fire sale." But after a few days of thinking about the deal, it actually makes sense. Here's why. With Jose Reyes becoming...

The Reason for Jason Bay's struggles
So far in the 2011 season Jason Bay has been a shell of his former self. Many people are wondering why that is. It seems people are stumped that someone once so good can be this bad. I have a theory about his struggles. I believe that Bay is still suffering some of the after effects from his concussion suffered last year.For those who need reminding, this is what happened against...

The Best Moment from the Mets Opening Day Loss
Did anyone catch this "mistake" by SNY at the end of last night's Mets game?As many of you will instantly realize, that "opening day and here's the first pitch" audio clip was taken from this now infamous Family Guy episode...Unbelievable... at least it was cut off before the "and the season's over" part played...

Mets: Different Expectations By Steve Hirsch
Note: This is NOT my work. This is by Steve Hirsch a Mets blogger for Huffington Post: New York who works as an intern for the E-Mak Show on St. Louis Sports Radio 1380 AM. As an intern for the E-Mak Show on St. Louis Sports Radio 1380 AM, I was asked on Tuesday to defend on air my view that if the Mets stay healthy, they have a shot of winning the Wild Card in 2011. When I stated...

The Rise and Fall of Oliver Perez
Today officially marks the end of an era. Or as some would call it, an error as the Mets have officially released Oliver Perez from the team. Having failed to live up to his 36 million dollar 3 year contract, this result certainly was not unexpected. But it is sad to think about what once was for the Mexican Titanic, as he is referred to by some.Perez first arrived here in New York...

Can You Hear the Drums Fernando?
Fernando Martinez catches a lot of flack from Mets fans... I've heard comments about how he is "finished" or he was never that good to begin with. Frankly all these fans are dead wrong, this looks to be a BIG breakout year for Fernando. Martinez, who just turned 22, is on the same level as your average college senior, and if a recently drafted college senior slugged a respectable...

Introducing the New Regime
With the announcement of Terry Collins as the new manager on Sunday the new regime was completed. With Sandy Alderson leading the charge and Paul DePodesta along with JP Riccardi in the background we should see a rise in the team relatively soon. I for one am not a fan of Collins (Melvin was my choice) I am certainly glad it is not Wally Backman. Having only held a Major League job...

The Mythical Blame Game (Part 1 of 3).
We as Mets fans obviously live and die with every pitch. And it's very much appreciated. However, some of the things I've been hearing lately are just downright outlandish. I could write (or Wright if you really wanna be Mets based with the lingo) a friggin novel on this but I'll try to keep this brief since people's attention spans are as short as Jerry Manuel...

Mets First-Half Awards.
Heading into the All-Star Break, the Mets find themselves in a good position. At 48-40, they are 4 games back of the NL East leading Atlanta Braves and a game back of the Wild Card leading Colorado Rockies. A 2-4 homestand to conclude the first half against NL contenders Cincinnati & Atlanta was a bit of a setback; but those two wins were both Johan Santana shutouts. The team...

A New Season
A new season. A new year. It's a fresh start, a time when everybody thinks that they have a chance to win it. This is a joyous occasion for most people. But this season seems to be different. It's one that has less optimism than ones previous. Some say it's management, others the team itself. But as each passing second goes by I can't wait to see what is in store for us. Most people...

Batting Reyes Third
There is talk that Jerry Manuel will attempt to use Jose Reyes in the three hole in the beginning of the season at least until Carlos Beltran returns from the DL.Jose is one of the best lead off hitters in the game. As I have documented before, as Jose Reyes goes, so go the Mets. Personally I think Reyes is best suited to leading off, getting on base, and causing havoc on the base...

The Interlocking NY
Our friends over at Mets Police really got me thinking Mets fans...I've always been a big fan of the Mets interlocking NY logo. You'll notice it appears in the top corners of this website. I like it much better than the logo used by that other team in New York, but I digress.The other day, Shannon came across some photos from the Mets equipment truck showing the interlocking NY logo...

Gary Matthews for Stokes
Calm down Mets fans... I've never seen a fan base get so upset over a trade that involved a mediocre middle relief guy for a fourth or fifth outfielder. The Mets needed another outfielder not only to fill in for Beltran but just in general a team shouldn't only have one backup outfielder.We're only picking up $2 million of Gary Matthews contract. In fact we're actually paying Kelvim...

Beltran Medical Update
With Carlos Beltran having knee surgery certainly puts a damper on this offseason. He is expected to miss 8-12 weeks and might very well miss the beginning of the season. So people get your Pagan jerseys ready and download El Esta Aqui to your iPod for we may not see him for a long long time.

Met Games of the Decade
With the 2000's gone, I'd like to talk quickly about the games of the decade that stand out in my mind.Game of the DecadeWithout question, I'm giving the overall best game of the decade to October 16th, 2000. It was Game 5 of the 2000 NLCS, Series MVP Mike Hampton pitches a complete game three hit shutout, Todd Zeile's three run double in the 4th put the Mets up 6-0. Rick Ankiel...

What The Bay Deal Means To The Mets.
So Jason Bay finally decides to sing with the Mets for a deal that is 4 years and averages around 16 mil/season. And I ain't mad about it. I'm one of those who actually preferred getting Bay over Matt Holliday because he would be the cheaper option and while he hits for a lower average; everything else is about the same. Some of the positives I take from this move:1) The OF is now...

Jon Heyman has also confirmed that a deal has been reached.Joel Sherman is reporting the deal has a 5th year vesting option.I've said since day 1 that Holliday is the better player, but Bay is the better deal. Holliday will likely sign a much longer...

The Bay Ultimatum.
There has been a lot of talk about the Mets telling Jason Bay and Bengie Molina to "take it or leave it" on their offers, or more scarily, some fans are calling for the Mets to put a time limit on the offers... This my fellow Mets fans is a bad bad idea.Last Year, the Nationals made an offer to Adam Dunn at this point in the season, most analysts and Dunn himself scoffed at the idea...

Take it or Leave It
The last few days I cant help but think the Mets are getting played by Jason Bay's agent. We heard last week that there was some "mysterious team" that had offered Bay a 5 year deal. If this were true, why hasn't he accepted their offer yet? Not only that at this point it seems like the Mets are the only team left standing in the Jason Bay sweepstakes. The Rex Sox signed Cameron...
