Having Faith is Difficult These Days

Having Faith is Difficult These Days

It’s hard for me to have a lot of faith in the Mets these days. I don’t think it’s so much for the losing, or the uninspired play on the field – after all, we have been living with uninspired baseball for the bulk of the last three seasons. My faith has become questioned with [...]

Photos: MetsGrrl on the West Coast

Despite the unpleasant results, Caryn Rose from Metsgrrl.com spent last week out west watching the Mets in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. Her photographs are absolutely outstanding, and I could only wish that she had been able to enjoy the games she attended, and seen some more Met victories. To see her pictures, checkout [...]

A Horrific Past Week, and Uncertainty Ahead

A Horrific Past Week, and Uncertainty Ahead

2-9 since the All-Star Break, and really 1-10 thanks to umpire Phil Cuzzi last Sunday in San Francisco. That is probably the worst possible outcome of the first road trip since the All-Star Break. It was a span of 11 consecutive days where absolutely nothing went right – whether the offense didn’t produce, or the [...]

Would a Strong Effort Be Enough?

Would a Strong Effort Be Enough?

Johan Santana has allowed two runs in 31 innings in the month of July, deserving to be be much better than the 2-0 and the 0.58 ERA he possesses over that span. That said, would more of the same from Santana even come close to what the Mets need tonight against the Dodgers? Eventually this [...]

Mets Have Become Predictable, In a Bad Way

Mets Have Become Predictable, In a Bad Way

When it rains it pours. Last night, I was able to watch most of the Mets game even though it started late, but I think that could be attributed to the fact the Mets at bats went by so quickly that it wasn’t until the seventh inning that I fell asleep. But see, that’s the [...]

The Image of Frustration

The Image of Frustration

It’s hard to fathom these Mets. The path they have taken this season is about as rocky and treacherous as I can remember in recent years. I can’t remember any season in which the team has looked so horrible out of the gate, flip the switch and play like champions, only to begin drowning again, [...]

Seven Players Holding the Key for the 2010 Mets

Seven Players Holding the Key for the 2010 Mets

They’re all finally playing together for the first time this season, but each one of these players must step up their game if the Mets stand any chance down the stretch of the 2010 season. It’s all about getting these guys in sync and on track as a team. The talent is there, they just [...]

Huge Start for Mike Pelfrey

Huge Start for Mike Pelfrey

Tonight could not be anymore important for Mike Pelfrey. He has struggled over the past six weeks, seeing his ERA rise from 2.38 to 3.59 in just eight starts, and in three consecutive starts, he has failed to complete five innings of work with eight walks allowed in 13 1/3 innings over that span. The [...]

The Francisco Rodriguez Puzzle

The Francisco Rodriguez Puzzle

This season, Francisco Rodriguez is 3-2 with a 2.68 ERA with a league-leading 38 games finished, and 21 saves in 27 opportunities. Overall, since joining the Mets last year, Rodriguez has blown 19% of his save opportunities, compared to 14% during his entire career with the Angels. Of course, I think we can all agree [...]

Mets Need Jose Reyes for Both Themselves and for Reyes

Mets Need Jose Reyes for Both Themselves and for Reyes

As Joel Sherman points out in his post for the New York Post, it has been 14 months since the Mets featured both Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes in the same lineup. Last night, at least for 30 minutes, it appeared that streak was over, although I was very surprised to see Reyes’ name in [...]
