Nieuwenhuis Strikeout Rate Is Alarmingly High
One of the positive things from the 1st half of this 2012 season has been the play of Kirk Nieuwenhuis. Nieuwenhuis or Capt Kirk as some fondly like to call him came up and provided the Mets with some great catches & play defensively and a spark offensively. As a young prospect he is bound …

The Mets are too good for Shane Victorino.
I really hate the Phillies but I had this idea that I entertained for about 8 hours yesterday….I thought about the Mets trading for Shane Victorino. Like I said, It made sense for about 8 hours. The Mets need a center fielder that can stay on the field. Andres Torres has a barking back problem and Kirk …

Sunday Shots: “The Outfield Situation” Edition
This week’s Sunday Shots question: How would you address the shortage of right-handed bats in the Mets lineup?

Post Game: Mets break out in Tampa!
The Inter-League Tour continued tonight when the Mets travelled to Tampa to get a W. The Mets turned to Chris Young to do it; he pitched with tenacity and grit. Young was opposed by 24 year old Alex Cobb. Besides the game, the highlight of the night was the advertisement for Kieth Hernandez Bobble Head Day. Kieth was hamming …

Mets Give Up A Run… Up 19-1 in Series
Well things just keep going down hill for the Mets since Johan’s no-hitter. First on Saturday Dickey only provides a shutout, and gives up hits. Now on Sunday, Niese pitches like Dizzy Dean and a newly called up rookie gives up a run. What’s next, having to rely on the offense to win a game? …

How Often Has The Mets Offense Picked Up The Pen?
Earlier I did a post that took a look at the NL East record at the start of the 7th, 8th and 9th inning. It was an update to an even earlier post that I did because I felt it was only fair to show how poorly the team had performed this past weekend vs …

Post Game: It’s that two out magic again! Mets win 7-4
The Never-Say-Die-Three-Straight-Win-Mets were in Citizens Bank Park to try to take another game from the limping fighting Phillies. Joe Blanton would stand in the way of Mike Pelfrey’s second replacement Miguel Batista who literally threw batting practice for the first three innings. The Phillies struck first in the bottom of the first inning when, …

An April To Remember | Nieuwenhuis NL Rookie Of The Month?
Give it up for Kirk Nieuwenhuis. He has had one heck of a month. He leads all MLB rookies in AVG, OBP, OPS and is 2nd in SLG by 1 percentage point. Can you say NL Rookie of the Month?

Series Preview: Mets Head Down to Houston (Along With Their Cowboy Boots)
Tonight, the Mets begin their three-game series in Houston against the Astros. The Mets are coming into this series after taking two of three in Colorado. They were embarrassed in the first game when the Rockies scored 11 runs in the fifth inning alone and won by a score of 18-9. However, they bounced back, …
