brooklynmutt:
Selena Roberts: The pitch-tipping was often enough over three years to become a pattern noticeable by the ex-Rangers sources that I spoke to.
When games were already decided, they noticed this behavior with Alex where he would do very obvious signs,
What this was all part of was a quid pro quo, according to the people I spoke with. Alex would tip his middle infielder buddy on the...

There was a long time during Willie Randolph’s tenure as Mets manager when just about everybody was giving the skipper heat for making moves in a game that were on a whim. Sometimes they worked,…

When I drive past Lake Erie and miss everything— When the open windows of my car welcome the scent of hyacinth and the city— When people are reminded why they’re here— When the highway brings us to life again (though the trees are still dead, their skeletons can taste the sun) When tired ones crawl out of warehouses for a cup of coffee or a cold beer— When the patterned green is...

May 28th 2008 Win against the Florida Marlins. Great game, one of the best I’ve been too.
I love this game.

David Wright: April 2007 v. April 2009 →
David Wright is having a rough start (offensively) to the season. While his defense has been spectacular, his bat just isn’t there. His swing is long, he’s striking out at an alarming pace and…

The Scoreboard Gourmet offers good advice to save $$ at Citi Field.
I would also add to avoid the bay fries at Catch of the Day, or the Garlic Fries in the Market. Stick to Nathan’s.

mknell:
But Marlon is home now, a 35-year-old family man — and still a cold-blooded hitter. But with the arrival of pitcher Livan Hernandez and the Mets’ aggressive desire to get Sheffield, he became expendable. It’s a story that all players will come to know, sooner or later. If you never got released from a team, you didn’t play long enough.
So Marlon got that call. The one that echoes Bull...

It was pretty hard to pick who I was going to pick this week, since there’s been a lot going on in Met land. At one point, I even considered Goerge Willis, who obviously is not a player on the…
The Santana Effect →
If the Mets fail to make the playoffs, it will be a true testament to the atrociousness of the back of the bullpen. For the typical team, an entire rotation has to be very good in order for them to…
