LATEST STORIES FROM NEW YORK METS: TRADES, TIRADES AND GM GRADES
2 Losses, Carlos Gomez and a Turncoat Fan
It's almost more than I can bare, watching our beloved Mets lose 2 in a row to the Dodgers. Of course, I wore my Mets' gear to both games, and the heckling I received this year was the worst in my 15 years living in SoCal. I guess that's what happens when you knock their team out of the play-offs so ...

The Weight Of The Team On His Shoulders
David Wright deserves a gift from the whole team, he shouldn't have to accept it, but he needs it.The team should buy him a big enough back pack to fit all of them in it, because during this losing streak, it seems like Wright is the only one constantly producing, he hit four home runs in four games....

Mets Should Go After Conine
As we approach the Trade Deadline this season, I will be trying to come out with one trade idea that could potentially make the Mets a better team. Periodically I have proposed a trade idea every couple of days, but with the deadline looming I'm going to be stepping it up a notch. Enough talking, her...

RX For What Ails Us!
It's mid-June, and the Yankees are beating us in the 8th inning of game 3 of this weekend series, 8-1. O-Hern got clobbered, and sadly threw few bad pitches - the Yankees just hit all of them! Although we won one game, we were clearly out-classed this weekend, and, no excuses, we should have played b...

Vargas Gets The Call...Again
David Lennon at Newsday, writes about Oliver Perez on the DL and Jason Vargas taking his place:Perez was scratched from Sunday's start in Philadelphia because of a stiff lower back, but the Mets still considered using him at some point this week.

Could The Mets Get Hillenbrand?
Things don't seem to be getting better for Carlos Delgado and may not ever get well. That's, at least, what many Met fans are thinking. Delgado's hitting .223 and has only hit11 home runs this season. He's just, plainly, not hitting with runners in scoring position and it's starting to ware on him a ...

Will Gotay Get Sent Down For Alou?
I heard a caller on WFAN yesterday say that the Mets might send Ruben Gotay down to Triple-A when Moises Alou is ready to come off the disabled list. What? Why would the Mets do that?Do the Mets not see what Gotay is doing from the bench this season? He's now hitting .317, 3 HR, 12 RBI; 1 SB. If that...

Still A Chance For Maine
After reading David Lennon’s last post on his Newsday blog (On The Mets Beat), I realized that there is still a chance that John Maine could become an All-Star this year.Common sense would tell us that if even one starting pitcher backs out of the game, that Maine would have to be next in line. If not, then I would begin to get a little irritated on how much the pitchers are weighed...

He’s making a strong case to stay up with the...
