JERRY MANUEL IS ON THE POWER PLAY
By Steve Keane at 9 March, 2010, 11:07 am
When Jerry Manuel took over the managers office form Willie Randolph, the one statement he made that resonated with Mets fans was that his team would be tough and fight through whatever adversity was in front of it. His quote was “Gangsta’s on the field, Ladies on the bus”. I thought it was a great [...]

By Steve Keane at 5 March, 2010, 11:08 am
It looks like the Mets front office feels the bullpen situation is bit dicey, with Kelvin Escobar hurting and the lack of a second lefty to take the pressure of Perpetual Pedro, they have signed RHP Kiko Calero and are courting LHP Joe Biemel.
Calero has a history of arm/shoulder injury but his biggest asset is [...]
JOIN ME TONIGHT AT 11PM ET FOR THIS CALL TO THE BULLPEN ON BLOGTALK RADIO
By Steve Keane at 26 February, 2010, 11:21 am
Last night on Pro Baseball Central, we had Brian Costa, Mets beat writer for the Newark Star-Ledger on as a guest and when I asked him how things were down in St. Lonesome, he felt bad about letting us know the weather is very Un-Florida like, temps in the upper 30’s and 40’s, as he [...]

By Steve Keane at 8 November, 2009, 10:49 am
So let’s see how we can reconstruct the NY Mets to make them a contender in 2010. We all know wear the major work needs to be done starting pitching, left field, catcher, and fortifying the bullpen so today I want to look at candidates for the starting rotation.
As far as I’m concerned there are [...]
“PUT YOUR MAKE UP ON, FIX YOUR HAIR UP PRETTY AND MEET ME TONIGHT IN ATLANTIC CITY”

Observations of Game 2 of the World Series from a conscientious objector:
Patients at the plate is a good thing but there comes a time when you have to change your approach. Last night the Phuck Phaces stayed a bit too passive as Pie Man was throwing first pitch strikes to just about every batter. When [...]
PAGING MYSTIQUE AND AURA: PLEASE REPORT TO THE NY HIGHLANDER BULLPEN
By Steve Keane at 29 October, 2009, 8:46 am
So Highlander fans, you think it’s easy playing the Phuck Phace’s ? Try doing it eighteen times a year like the Mets have to, it’s no joke.
Intimidation is a major component in a sporting endeavor. The ability to get into your opponents head will make the difference between winning and losing when the physical aspect [...]
METS FANS ARE A BUNCH OF CRAB APPLES
By Steve Keane at 12 July, 2009, 6:48 pm
Back from a day at $iti Field and a Mets 9-7 victory that was nearly blown by the bullpen (Sean Green in particular) and a 5th inning melt down by Big Pelf, who was cruising after 4 innings inducing ground ball out after ground ball out but in the 5th he unraveled, then got back on [...]

By Steve Keane at 30 June, 2009, 10:18 am
What can I add about last night’s game that you don’t know already? How can you break down this game when it’s the same old same old? Everyone is screaming for Omar Minaya do something, what that something is and how he can obtain it no one has an answer to. “GET A BAT, GET [...]
BREAKING BREAD WITH JERRY MANUEL
By Steve Keane at 23 June, 2009, 10:39 am
I’m just back from the WFAN Breakfast with Jerry Manuel at the Hard Rock Café in Times Sq and it was a most interesting morning.
The Hard Rock put out a nice spread and back in the day when animal fat and food drenched in oil were a staple of mine I’d have gone through 3 [...]
JERRY MANUEL AND HIS RIGHT TO BARE ARMS
By Steve Keane at 22 June, 2009, 9:05 am
After yesterday’s loss to the Rays J-Man sounded like a guy at the end of his rope and to this Mets fan it seems he is sending out an S.O.S. to Omar Minaya to get him some relievers who can actually pitch at the major league level:
Manager Jerry Manuel tried to shoulder the blame, saying [...]
