Series Preview: Mets End Homestand With Three Against Atlanta
The Mets begin a three-game series with the Atlanta Braves tonight at 7:10. The Braves come into this series red-hot and look like they are going to challenge the Nationals for the NL East crown. Atlanta has won seven of their last ten, and 12 of their last 15 games. They currently sit only four …

A NL East Position Battle: 3rd Base
Previously we have looked at the rest of the IF positions around the NL East. Today the Hot Corner. This one should be fun. #5 Placebo Placido Polanco: Declining counting stats, declining slash-line, declining defense, declining health, accelerating age. Sorry but you get #5 by a runaway margin. #4 Chipper Jones: This shows two things, one how deep …

Josh Thole did his best Paul Loduca impression in the 2 hole, going 2-4 with 2 RBI’s. Terry Collins continued with his out of the box thinking …

Man Up Awards for yesterday
The Man Up Award for yesterday goes to the Marlins Defense. The Marlins committed 3 errors in a 9-2 rout by the Mets to win the series. While the Mets would have won anyway(assuming the game played out the way it did) without the unearned runs, hopefully this will open some eyes to the “real” …

Post Game: Another Turner Classic
OK, not really. Not from a New York Mets fan perspective anyway. The Mets record of futility at Atlanta’s Turner Field continued Monday night as Mets starter Johan Santana (8-6) staggered at the start allowing 3 runs in the 1st inning. Omar Infante singled leading off then Jason Heyward walked. Chipper Jones hit a double …

Stop Messing Around, Vote Wright Now!
According to wanna-be Met exec, Adam Rubin, “Wright still trails Philadelphia’s Placido Polanco at third base” in All-Star votes. We can’t let Polanco beat Wright. Polanco has no reason to be leading in the all-star voting other then Phillie fans are idiots. Polanco ranks second in the National League in average at .318. He also …
