Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun reports that
the Orioles have traded ex-Met Steve Trachsel to the
Cubs for two prospects. The Orioles today traded veteran right-hander Steve Trachsel to the Chicago Cubs for Triple-A reliever Rocky Cherry and Triple-A third baseman Scott Moore. Cherry, a 28-year-old right-hander, was 2-0 with a 4.59 ERA and seven saves in 43 games for Triple-A Iowa. ...
Now that the all star game is over,
the Mets can settle into playing everyday again after
their layoff. With the season more than half over, here begins the stretch run towards the playoffs. That first step in the stretch run is the trading deadline where teams can wheel and deal in attempts to make their team better, without having players pass through the waiver wire. Mets fans can remember ...
Ok, so a number of people have contacted
me asking me where I got the Keith Hernandez

Former Mets utility player and fan favorite Joe
McEwing has finally called it a career after spending
all of the 2007 season in the Red Sox minor league system. Super Joe is most remembered by Mets fans for his ability to play every position on the field and his uncanny ability to hit against Randy Johnson, which really is a misnomer based on the 6 at bats he had against Randy Johnson in ...
In case you haven't already seen, Johan Santana
is on cover of this week's Sports Illustrated
As I had indicated might happen a few
weeks ago, former Mets outfielder Shawn Green has officially
retired... READ MORE
After tonights game, as far as I'm concerned
the season is over... There's no way Pelfrey is
gonna beat Webb tomorrow, and we'll be lucky if Santana can beat Haren on Thursday... This whole season has been a joke, every single player except for Wagner has seriously underperformed, Willie has made every mistake possible along the way... READ MORE
FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Mets
are on the verge of acquiring utility player Jeff
Conine from the Cincinnati Reds for two Class-A position players. Conine will serve as a right-handed hitter off the bench, filling in at first base and possibly the outfield, replacing the injured Damion Easley who was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday with a sprained left ...
The game between the Mets and Los Angeles
Dodgers on Sunday, August 26 is now scheduled to
start at 8:05 p.m. ET to accommodate ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball broadcast. Tickets showing the original start time of 1:10 p.m. ET for the August 26 game should still be used for admission. What's the big deal you may be asking yourself? Well, every year the Mets hold a very special promotion for ...
This isn't happening. Somebody please tell me this
is not happening. The Mets cannot choke away the
National League East. I mean, they simply cannot do it. I really don't think I'd be able to handle it. I can see it now. I'd be jobless, the engagement would be called off, and I'd probably find myself living under a bridge listening to Creedence Clearwater on a used tape player that I ...
Heartbroken, anger, and disbelief, are just a few
of the many emotions being shown by the 15,000+
members in the facebook group after the Mets historic meltdown. Who can really blame them? This wasn’t the ending we all planned on. Two weeks ago we held a very comfortable 7 game lead with 17 to play. We were sitting in the driver’s seat looking at the SNY pocket schedule, seeing 13 of our ...
Dear Mets Fan: All of us at the
Mets are bitterly disappointed in failing to achieve our
collective goal of building upon last year's success. We did not meet our organization's expectations -- or yours. Everyone at Shea feels the same range of emotions as you --our loyal fans -- and we know we have let you down. We wanted to thank you for your record-breaking support of our team this ...
The deal was as good as done, news
outlets everywhere were reporting that the Mets had signed
free agent catcher Yorvit Torrealba. And then suddenly, everything fell apart. The two sides already had agreed on a three-year contract worth $14.4-million and it appeared that the only remaining holdup to an official announcement was a physical. Mets spokesperson Jay Horowitz spoke about ...
The most recent rumor coming out of Mets
camp has been their interest in SS David Eckstein.
Eckstein who was the starting shortstop for the 2002 World Champion Angels and the 2006 World Champion Cardinals (man it still hurts to say that), could play second base for the Mets is he is willing to switch positions. The Mets, who have also shown interest in re-signing current second baseman ...
According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, citing ‘major-league
sources,’ the Mets and 2B Luis Castillo are close
to agreeing to a four-year, $25 million contract. The Astros, Nationals, and Cubs all had expressed interest in Castillo, whom the Mets acquired from the Twins at the non-waiver deadline for two minor leaguers. Four years might be considered a risky move with Carlos Baerga, ...
Mets.com announced today that the Mets have released
their 2008 Spring Training Schedule. The Mets begin their
exhibition season on Feb. 26, against the University of Michigan, the alma mater of owner Fred Wilpon. Their first home game against a big league team is on Leap Year Day, Feb. 29, against the Cardinals. Their first big league exhibition game is on Feb. 27 against the Tigers in ...
The Mets announced today that the Mets will
take part in the second annuel Major League Baseball
Civil Rights Game. The Mets will play the White Sox in AutoZone Park, home of the Cardinals' Triple-A Memphis Redbirds affiliate, as the focal point of two days commemorating the Civil Rights Movement. The game, staged for the first time last April, pays tribute to one of this country's most ...
Monday Memories: The Offseason Blues Okay, so this
off-season isn't shaping up to what most of us
expected. The Mets suffered a terrible collapse, and they've done nothing significant since then. They traded away Lastings Milledge, lost Glavine (and I don't care if he blew the last game of '07, I wanted him back), and upgraded what, exactly? Don't fear, Mets fans. The Mets have had some ...
A few weeks ago over at the facebook
group I asked the question; what should the Mets
do if we don't acquire another starting pitcher this off season? My solution to this potential problem was to resurrect an old idea; one which would allow the Mets to solidify the rotation with a young veteran pitcher and strengthen the bullpen with two proven relievers, all without having to sacrifice the farm..
