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 [...]

Reading this Q & A that Duk conducted on Yahoo with Jason Bay shows Bay as “we” and not a “me” kind of guy. The fact that Bay said that ” about 30 or 35″ Mets hung out at Duffy’s in St. Lonesome to watch the USA-Canada hockey game tells me that the comrade that [...]

By Steve Keane at 2 March, 2010, 10:52 am
The Mets get hammered in this town for a multitude of offenses and in most instances, the bludgeoning is warranted but when it comes to the decision by J-Man to work Jose Reyes into the 3 spot of the lineup, the criticism is not only unwarranted but it’s also senseless.
In today’s NY Post, avid Mets [...]
AH…….JUST A LAZY DAY IN PORT ST LONESOME
By Steve Keane at 28 February, 2010, 1:51 pm
Blue Sky, sunshine, what a day to take a walk in the park.
Ice cream, daydream till the sky becomes a blanket of stars.
What a day for pick-in’ daisies and lots of red balloons.
And what a day for hold in’ hands and being with you.
Lot’s of stories coming out of Camp Kumbaya where everybody is in [...]

I don’t have much ambition today; I mean when the folks down at St. Lonesome start Tweeting about parking spots, I know I have company in the “can’t get it together” mode. Seriously don’t you people get tired of busting on Daniel Murphy?
Ike Davis participated on a Q & A over at Baseball America and [...]
SANDY, THE FIREWORKS ARE HAILIN’ OVER LITTEL EDEN TONIGHT………..
By Steve Keane at 23 February, 2010, 12:37 pm
Jason Bay has arrived in Port St. Lonesome and Adam Rubin sat down for a Q & A session with the newest Mets left fielder. Some interesting nuggets in this piece, like Bay was on his high school curling team and his school did not field a baseball team. So Bay played in what I [...]

2 days until pitchers and catchers
Ed Ryan over at Mets Fever has a great write up on Shawn Riggans, the catcher cut loose by the Tampa Bay Rays and picked up by the Mets as part of the parade of back up catchers. After reading Ryan’s piece, if Riggans is healthy he could make [...]
OMAR MINAYA: WE WON’T BE FOOLED AGAIN!!!!

20 days until pitchers and catchers
Unfortunately I missed Mets Hot Stove last night on SNY but from reading Mathew Cerrone’s MetsBlog this morning it looks like Omar did his best Alexander Haig impression to let us Mets fans know the “He is in charge” No wonder I had a restless nights sleep.
From reading the [...]
LET’S GO METS, LET’S GO METROPOLITANS
By Steve Keane at 19 January, 2010, 9:31 am
All of NYC is wrapped up in the Jets run to the Super Bowl (47 % of all the television sets in the Metro NY area were tuned to the Jets-Chargers game Sunday, that’s about 10 mil TV’s WOW!!!) so Mets news is fighting for space in the NY sports media but there is a [...]

By Steve Keane at 17 January, 2010, 10:22 am
Loss in all the Beltran minutia is the fact that the Mets are going to need a centerfield for the first three months of the season, and the pickin’s are slim.
I don’t know how some folks have come to the conclusion that Angel Pagan is the centerfielder understudy for Carlos Beltan. What has Angel Pagan [...]
