I meant to get to this yesterday but unfortunately at the time our blog was having uh maintenance issues. After RA’s last start where he dominated the Phillies for 7 innings yet fell to the Mets offense, he had the following to say: “It’s unfulfilling,” Dickey said. “I’m not leaving the park satisfied, that’s for …

The Mets finished out the series with the Padres today with a 2-0 win while bringing their streak to 26 consecutive shutout innings. While there wasn’t much offense today for the Mets they did manage to provide Dickey with an early 1-0 lead in the first inning with another 2 out RBI. This one from …

In a game in which sample size is the king, do we now have a large enough sample to consider Dickey one of the elite pitchers in the game? I know it feels strange and maybe even a little dirty to consider a knuckle ball thrower as one of the upper echelon pitchers. However, looking …

After losing this week’s three game series to the Washington Nationals, the Mets will travel across New Jersey to play the Phillies in Philadelphia tonight. The Mets are coming off two straight losses to the Nationals. After winning the first game of the three-game set 4-3, thanks to a Daniel Murphy walk-off single, the Mets’ offense struggled, …

Now that yesterday’s news is yesterday’s news. Time to get back to baseball. Continuing in the Over-Under series today’s look is the Mets starting rotation. These numbers are not really my predictions but more about setting a logical over under. Johan Santana: 19 starts 114 innings 100 strikeouts 1.33 WHIP 8 wins 8 losses RA …

As expected the Mets non-tendered John Maine last night. They also non-tendered Sean Green (as local favorite 4D rejoices) and Chris Carter (as author Kingman rejoices). To me there are no real surprises there. I did not see a role for any of them with the Mets next year, especially at the MLB level. As …

With the season pretty much officially over(just waiting on mathematical elimination from post season play), the Mets have some some very important decisions going into the offseason. These decisions I believe will dictate how this decade will play out for the Mets. On average, the Mets make the playoffs at least once every decade. While …

I guess the only way to describe last nights seventh inning meltdown by Bobby Parnell and the Mets bullpen can be boiled down to one word – CRAPTASTIC! The bullpen took one of Jon Niese’s strongest performances of the year and went on to crap the bed . But the blame can’t rest solely on …

In the top of the 9th inning at Turner Field ex-Met and current Atlanta Braves closer Billy Wagner (5-2) took the mound in a 2-2 game. The first batter to face him would be ex-Brave Jeff Francoeur. In a shock that registered lightly on The Richter Scale Francoeur swung at the first pitch. He fouled …
