THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND, WE THOUGHT THEY’D NEVER END
By Steve Keane at 19 August, 2009, 12:56 pm
I don’t know about you but I had a very strange feeling watching the 4thinning of last nights Mets-Braves game. Here were the Mets putting an ass whipping on Derek Lowe and the hated Atlanta Braves and I should have been doing the Snoopy dance but it had no real big effect on me. Sure, [...]

Forget the bone chilling cold and the snow and the general suckiness of winter, it’s just 39 days until pitcher and catchers report to spring training and it’s Thursday so you know what that means kids “it’s PRO BASEBALL CENTRAL night” and we finally have some hot topics to discuss whether it’s Derek Lowe to [...]

By Steve Keane at 13 January, 2009, 3:36 pm
Seems to me Mets land is spilt on the non-signing of Derek Lowe by the Mets and Lowe going to our rival the Atlanta Braves. As much as I wanted Lowe I feel Omar did the right thing here as I like Lowe but not enough to over pay like Frank Wren did. I love pizza [...]

Well, so much for the quiet off season, as word comes via Scott Boras’ House Organ,- the Zelig like Jon Heyman, that the Braves have made a 4yr/$60 mil offer to the Boras/Lowe tag team. WHOA!!! I’ve been on board the Lowe bandwagon but if this offer is legit well for Lowe/Boras it’s too legit [...]

The Mets will sign either Derek Lowe or Oliver Perez
Uh oh, fifteen minutes to Judge Wapner.
But they won’t try to sign them both
I’m an excellent driver.
The Mets have no interest in signing Manny Ramirez
Dad lets me drive slow on the driveway every Saturday. ‘Course the seats were originally brown leather now they’re a pitiful red.

Mets Close to Signing Redding
By Joe McDonald at 9 January, 2009, 2:06 pm
Our friend Matt Cerrone of Metsblog reports from various places the Mets are close to signing RHP Tim Redding to a one-year deal worth about $2.5 million.
To me it’s an interesting signing, because Redding would be the No. 5 pitcher on the club. If the club comes in and signs Derek Lowe or Oliver Perez, [...]
BRING ON THOSE PHILLY PIGEONS
By Steve Keane at 9 January, 2009, 10:11 am
Different day some ol’ Mets news which means there is nothing to talk about. If not for the Rodriguez signing and the Putz trade this would be the worst off season since I started writing this blog which is going on seven years.
Derek Lowe is still on the ‘Ho Stroll, Petey wants to come back (I love [...]
DO THE HUSTLE
By Steve Keane at 8 January, 2009, 10:14 am
So Omar and his lieutenants sat down with Scott Boras at $it Field yesterday and while Omar sent Jeffey down the block on Roosevelt Ave to pick up some empanadas and plantains, the big boys talked contract with Borras’ stable of stars.
The top starlet on the list is Derek Lowe who won’t settle for the [...]
IS LOWE AND O.P. PIE IN THE SKY FOR THE METS?
By Steve Keane at 7 January, 2009, 11:53 am
I’m having my living room torn apart and a massive redesign so between the noise, the clutter of furniture, debris and taking down Christmas decorations I’m sneaking in a post before the workers come back from lunch so just a quickie for today
Looks like the free agent market is starting to flow a bit with [...]
