  1. A Simple Plan

    I'll make this quick since I'm still a little light headed after watching Luis Castillo sacrifice bunt off of a left fielder Saturday night. So shocked, in fact, that I let tonight's managerial decision to remove Pedro Feliciano for Ryota Igarashi simply because Ryan Ludwick is a right handed hitter and Igarashi is "my 8th inning guy," go by without a wimper, much like David Wright checking the rotation of an Adam Wainwright curve ball.

    The Mets are 4-8, two games behind the 4th place ...

  2. Friday Night Mets

    Along with the albatross of being a Mets fan since the womb, I am a long suffering Knick fan.

    I thank you for your condolences.

    The Knicks, as an organization, did their best to get fannies in the seats with the crown jewel being Friday Night Knicks, giving the broadcast and live event a musical/basketaball amalgam. One of the few nights able to make a Knick game this year it was a nice atmosphere. Of course, that was the night Lebron James came to town and the red ...

    So you've been hearing about how Fernando Martinez is laying frozen ropes all over Tradition Field, huh? How he seems to be in great shape—covering his outfield position and running well—looking like a major leaguer?

    Yeah, its all true. F-Mart finally looks like F-Mart. But wait...

    Opening Day is still a month away, so I'm not ready to make any serious projections yet. My goal is to spend the upcoming weeks looking at the players who are assured of going north with the Mets when camp breaks. The last week or so will be dedicated to the players fighting for the few open spaces on the roster (SP5, RP 6 and 7, one or two bench spots).

    For now, here's a basic breakdown of the players on the 40-man roster, as well as the non-roster invitees, who are at Port St. Lucie ...

  5. With a Thousand Million Questions...

    Even buried by 12" of snow doesn't quell the excitement of what is going on 2,800 miles south of this winter wonderland. Spring training is in full swing, everything should be right in the world but yet questions about the New York Mets abound.

    Questions of whether the loss of Carlos Beltran for the first three months of the season is just a harbinger of more bad news a la last year's debacle of a season. Questions about a lineup that fall off the deep end of poor on base percentage ...
