Daily Mets Recap: July 23rd, 2008
 
The Game In their biggest game of the season, the New York Mets got eight solid innings out of their ace Johan Santana . He exited with a 5-2 lead in the ninth (thanks in part to home runs by the red hot Ramon Castro and the even hotter Carlos Delgado ). The bullpen then gave up six runs in a disastrous ninth inning and the game ended with the Philadelphia Phillies taking sole possession of ...

Looking Over the Catchers
 
“You have to have a catcher because if you don’t you’re likely to have a lot of passed balls.” -Casey Stengel Jerry Grote. Mike Piazza . Todd Hundley . Gary Carter. These names resonate with die-hard Mets fans who have seen their favorite team churn out some great catchers during the team’s history. However, since the departure of Paul LoDuca, the Mets don’t really have a ...

Upcoming Series: Philadelphia Phillies Pitchers
 
While the Mets (53-46) only managed a split in Cincinnati, it was enough to ensure a first-place tie with the Philadelphia Phillies (53-46), who, as luck with have it, are the Mets’ next opponents. With a victory here, the Mets could take sole possession of first place. First up: the newly acquired Joe Blanton (5-12, 4.96) opposes Mets ace Johan Santana (8-7, 3.10). After that, it’ll be the ...

Plan B, Revisited
 
I banged out the skeleton for my “ Rebuild the Mets ” piece following the Friday night loss to the Phillies, figuring that the Mets were destined to scuffle and scrimp and claw their way to a .500 season. At the very end, though, I did what all worried writers who put forth an opinion do: I hedged. I made a brief allusion to the Giants’ Super Bowl run (which, of course, ...

Daily Mets Recap: July 20th, 2008
 
The Game The Mets lost a sloppy game last night to the Cincinnati Reds, going down by a score of 7-2. Is this Mets fan allowed to be concerned that the Mets could only muster two runs off of Josh Fogg ? I can only hope that the, “let’s make Matt Chico look like Sandy Koufax,” approach isn’t here. On the evening, Fogg went six innings, giving up eight hits, and one ...

Daily Mets Recap: July 19th, 2008
 
The Game Cincinnati Reds pitching coach Dick Pole must have had a long, hard talk with his struggling starter Bronson Arroyo . Sorry, I couldn’t resist that obvious joke. Anyhoo, Arroyo and the Reds snapped the New York Mets’ ten game winning streak with a 5-2 victory at Great American Ballpark Friday night. Ever since John Maine and Oliver Perez switched bodies a la Fred ...
