Here’s some Mets news that we didn’t write a post about today: According to the Wisconsin State Journal, Omar Minaya doesn’t think the Mets are comedy material.  I guess I need to start looking for another job. “I don’t think we are a joke but I do believe when you lose and you have a …

"Can I get a WOOP WOOP?"

Today the Mets news landscape was carpet-bombed with Brian Stokes for Gary Matthews Jr. a/k/a “Little Sarge” acquisition items. I have found nothing in the way of “other” news to share with you this evening, so instead I will attempt to do an “away” version of what my colleague Mr. North Jersey did below, while …

The "untouchables" edition

This evening’s installment of tiny Mets news: Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports that despite sports-talk radio czar Mike Francesa’s proclamation that he was on the Mets radar, there have been no “new discussions between the Mets and the Diamondbacks” regarding catcher Chris Snyder.

Apparently Omar didn't offer this to Bengie

And now this evening’s installment of tiny Mets news: Over at NESN.com you can catch video of baseball rumor-God Peter Gammons speaking about how disagreement between the player/agent and the ballclub over health diagnoses led to the Red Sox parting ways with Jason Bay.  So take heart Carlos Beltran, you’re not the only player in …

Oh the fun we would've had with Bengie Molina

It’s been a busy day in Metsville, here are some of the smaller items you may have missed: Tom “The Effect” Verducci has come up with a child-like “bang for you buck” formula that shows the Mets to be lacking.  Good for you Tommy, have a cookie.

Now for MLK day’s tiny Mets news: I agree with every word of New York Baseball Digest author Mike Silva’s post about Omar Minaya today.

This evening’s little things Mets: Keeping hope alive, AOL Fanhouse’s Ed Price tweets that the Mets will be among the teams watching Ben Sheets throw next Tuesday. Jon Heyman of SI tweets that the Mets are 1 of 3 teams that are “all in on Joel Pineiro.” Gotta love that he used a gambling phrase …

Not a lot of Mets news flowing today

It’s a light day in tiny Mets news so I’m digging deep in the scrap heap: It’s not bad enough simply being a fan of a team that shares a city with the Yankees, now I learn that the Yankees had 3 of the top 4 arms belonging to minor league right fielders in their …

"Honey, should I address this to Beltran or just the Mets in general?"

And now Friday’s installment of tiny Met news: The venerable Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse tweeted that the Mets have signed Jolbert Cabrera to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.  Don’t forget to RSVP Jolbert!  It probably is not a move designed to attract his brother Orlando to the Mets, but …
