Reyes Deserves Criticism for Antics
[Jul. 27, 2008] Reyes acted like he just won the 1988 World Series a la Kirk Gibson, even though he simply broke a tie in a late-July game. This is the guy who disappeared in September last season, hitting only for a .612 OPS in that month as the Mets collapsed in quite an epic way.

Mike Attack: August 28, 2008

Mike Attack: August 27, 2008
[Aug. 27, 2008] Obviously, a rugged loss last night, but will it carry over tonight? Also, who's coming Sept. 1 and Binghamton's playoff hopes are starting to look doubtful.

Mike Attack, August 26, 2008
[Aug. 26, 2008] John Maine is likely done for the year, but Argenis Reyes gets a reprieve. Meanwhile, will St. Lucie ever manage to get their games in, after hurricane/TS/PITA Faye rumbles through Florida for seemingly the 83rd time.

On Bullpens And Loyalty
[Aug. 15, 2008] As you've probably noticed by now, the Mets bullpen has been pretty bad. You might be inclined to blame Omar Minaya. And you'd be right ... but probably for the wrong reasons. Metstradamus explains.
