From Jon Heyman’s ” Best decisions of the past year “…
12. The Mets’ decision to retain Jerry Manuel after an abysmal 2009 season Manuel was put on warning, but Mets ownership never seemed close to firing him, even after the team started poorly in 2010. To Manuel’s credit, a more confident, positive feeling in the clubhouse has aided [...]

Yeah, the Mets lost 4-0 to the Yankees and dropped the series to them. But today, the Mets did the right thing. They sent Jenrry Mejia down to Double-A Binghamton to work as a starting pitcher. Glad the team finally got around to figuring out something the fans concluded months ago. So celebrate, Mets fans. The team lost today, but for [...]

Disclaimer: I love my family. Second disclaimer: They’re all the worst kind of Yankee fans. I don’t hate the Yankees. Never have, never will. I may root against them at times, but I don’t hate them like I hate the Phillies, Braves and Marlins. (Sorry, Nats.) But I do hate most Yankee fans – especially the ones my [...]

Because they’re on a roll. I’m both pleasantly surprised and very, very pleased with the Mets right now. Sweeping the Orioles and Indians is something they needed to do, but never did I think they would actually do it. Francisco Rodriguez tried his darndest to not let that happen, but the Mets and K-Rod were able to [...]

Not the prettiest of games. The Good Infield hits. David Wright went 3-5 and drove in three RBI. The three rib-eye steaks all came on infield hits. Hustle. Jose Reyes is owed a steak dinner from Wright, as he busted from second base on one of Wright’s infield hits and scored. Wow. A five-run fifth inning. Ike Power. Davis hit his [...]
