OVER THE BIG PELF RAINBOW
By Steve Keane at 28 August, 2010, 8:40 am
Through all the anger and despair of another lost season in Flushing sometimes you have to step back and look at some positives, though there aren’t many but one is the resurgence of Big Pelf.  Pelfrey’s season is a microcosm of the Mets this year, more ups and downs than an elevator shaft at the [...]

By Steve Keane at 31 July, 2010, 11:45 am
Have you come to grips with the fact the Mets will not make the post season? I have. I’m not happy about it but it is what it is, the Mets have a big fork sticking out their collective oblique muscle. So that’s why I have gone from being totally pissed off that a team [...]

By Joe McDonald at 7 July, 2010, 11:11 am
Pitchers tend enjoy watching each other hit, so when Johan Santana took Matt Maloney deep last night for his first home run in – well – ever, the rest of the staff had to chime in. “You tell him, he will never hit another one again,†laughed closer Frankie Rodriguez. “He grabbed a bat and [...]

New York – Joey Votto swung, missed and struck out off a Johan Santana fastball in the first inning. The Cincinatti Reds would strand Brandon Phillips at third who led off the game with a double.

By Joe McDonald at 6 July, 2010, 1:41 pm
The replays didn’t show whether, or where, Mike Pelfrey’s errant fastball clipped Scott Rolen, but how the Mets’ pitcher responded to not getting that call, and not getting a later call on a strike to Drew Stubbs was the backdrop of Cincinnati’s six-run fifth inning and subsequently last night’s loss to the Reds. Pelfrey didn’t [...]

By Steve Keane at 2 July, 2010, 10:14 am
It’s not the loss that has me pissed, it the way it happened that makes me wonder if under the stewardship on Mr. Jerry Manuel, this team can make the post season as the manager has absolutely no feel for in game managing.
First there was the lineup. With both Jose Reyes and Angel Pagan ailing, [...]
Mets Tame The Tigers Behind Reyes and Dickey
By Joe McDonald at 24 June, 2010, 12:47 pm
New York -Â Â R.A. Dickey could have completed the game and after eight innings Wednesday evening at Citi Field he had the ability to do so. The knuckleball was working, and so was the fastball. But New York Mets manager Jerry Manuel had another intention. Bring in closer Francisco Rodriquez for the ninth even though [...]

New York -Prior to the rubber game of their three game series in the Bronx Sunday against the Yankees, New York Mets manager Jerry Manuel was asked about his starting pitcher Johan Santana. Is this the typical first half of the season for Santana, 5-3 and a 3.13 earned run average? “That’s just his history,†[...]

By Joe McDonald at 20 June, 2010, 10:55 am
Mike Pelfrey and Phil Hughes both 9-1 coming into Saturday’s game at Yankee Stadium have been nothing but spectacular for the Mets and Yankees. The Mets winners of eight straight games, and the Yankees, losers of their last three were hoping for something special from their premiere pitchers. But Jose Reyes of the Mets connected [...]
