JERRY MANUEL, MESS MANAGER
By Steve Keane at 21 August, 2010, 1:06 pm
The problem with my Babe Ruth season being over is I now have to do all the things I need to do around the house that I put off during the baseball season. I’ll be very honest here, I hate doing any kind of home repair or building stuff because I really suck at it. [...]

By Steve Keane at 16 August, 2010, 10:43 am
Tired of railing against this organization, who again screwed over the Mets fans by playing last night’s game in the rain, which made the field conditions so dicey that even Joe Morgan could see it was stupid to play with puddles (which I named Lake Wilpon) in the infield. How about poor ol’ Luis Castillo? [...]

New York – If a doctor were to sit down and write out a prescription for the Mets it would read like this: “A shutout a day will keep the losing streak at bay.† The New York Mets (58-57) were able to do just that behind a very strong starting performance from knuckleball specialist R. [...]

By Joe McDonald at 26 July, 2010, 4:24 pm
About two months ago, I wrote about the dichotomy that was the New York Mets as Major League Baseball’s winningest team at home while collecting the major’s fewest road victories. Since that time, little has changed. The Mets have remained pretty strong at Citi Field, while cooling off just a bit there, going 11-7 since [...]

By Steve Keane at 24 July, 2010, 11:50 am
About last night: So how many folks suffered a sprain or broken leg jumping back on the Johan Santana bandwagon? I guess he’s back to being the Ace of the staff eh? Funny I’m hearing any of the Carlos Beltran’ range is shot talk either ? And how about Angel Pagan playing a mean right [...]
Read More >>Delcos: Five Questions for The Mets
By Joe McDonald at 13 July, 2010, 8:44 pm
When pitchers and catchers reported Feb. 18, I posted five key questions the Mets faced heading into the season. Let’s revisit those questions at the All-Star break. 1) Question: What is this team’s attitude? Assessment: By all accounts, it has been superb.

By Steve Keane at 10 July, 2010, 1:59 pm
I ‘m getting ready to head for the hills A/K/A my annual week long camping trip with my sons Boy Scout Troop. Our camp may resemble the prison scene in Godfella’s as we’ve decided to cook all our meals this year. So we’ve packed up cans of crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, onions, peppers, chop [...]

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, [...]
