Because the Mets suck, one of the top
Mets sites is becoming a Devil Rays site. (Should
be part of a growing trend.)

I was going to write about The Bill
James Baseball Gold Mine for this column, but I
have not had much time to read it. I can tell you that Bill James is a funny guy and his Gold Mine contains very interesting things that one cannot find elsewhere. ...

One of the best writers in the city,
Tim Marchman covers baseball for The New York Sun
. Last week, he was generous enough to sit down and answer some questions for MetsGeek about sportswriting, The Collapse, and his opinions on the team as the ...

John Maine has simply been sensational in the
first month of the season, posting a miniscule 1.35
ERA in 33.1 innings over his first five starts. Maine has also gone at least seven innings in four of those starts, an improvement on last season when ...

The last time I wrote , I spoke
of the Mets’ desperate need to find another non-moribund
option for their corner outfield woes. I think I have found him. It’s Reed Johnson , former fourth-outfielder from the Toronto Blue Jays, who was ...

The news hit yesterday that Duaner Sanchez will
likely miss most of this season due to a
fracture of his coracoid, a small bone in his pitching shoulder. At the least, Sanchez won’t be back until July, which will handicap the Mets’ bullpen ...

It’s no secret that baseball is changing. Only
four years after the publication of Moneyball: The Art
of Winning an Unfair Game , baseball is overrun by spreadsheet-using stat geeks. However, the best organizations are the ones that combine ...

Can’t make up your mind about whether acquiring
Johan Santana for a quintet of youngsters is a
good move for the Mets? Neither can the MetsGeek staff. Writers Steve Hubbell and John Peterson recently had a little back-and-forth on the issue. Maybe ...

Last week, while everyone was on SantanaWatch, Jayson
Stark gave us this little tidbit of news: In
the meantime, there are signs that the Mets continue to express interest in free-agent pitcher Kyle Lohse . Lohse was viewed, essentially, as the ...

Leave it to Omar Minaya to make me
look like an idiot. On January 22, I wrote,
“For Mets fans, though, it’s going to be tougher to get that extra piece or two than we’d hope.” Then, of course, a week later Minaya nets Johan ...

Back in mid-nineties, the internets was still an
inchoate medium and not yet the sophisticated series of
tubes we all know and love today. The birth of MLBAM was still four years away, but computer savvy Mets fans were sucked in by a fledgling ...

Sony was gracious enough to send a copy
of MLB 08: The Show for the Playstation 3
in my direction, so this week’s article will be a look at the features of that game for those still on the fence. For starters, the game’s presentation is very ...

Tom Tango, known on the Internet as Tangotiger,
is one of most well-respected researchers in baseball today.
His web site, Tango on Baseball , is home to sabermetric projects such as The Fan Scouting Report and research and resources on a variety of ...

About six months back, I argued that the
Mets wouldn’t miss Tom Glavine in 2008 all that
much, at least partly because I thought we had a couple of in-house replacements—Philip Humber and Mike Pelfrey—who could contribute close to Glavine’s ...

Perhaps it’s appropriate that I sit down to
write this at 2 A.M., because the only person
I can think of who looks more tired than I do right now was Roberto Alomar as a Met. The Alomar trade is one of very few blockbuster trades I can remember. I...

After looking relatively hopeless against the Marlins over
the first two games of the series, the Mets
(16-10) came back to salvage the last game. Next up on the docket are the Arizona Diamondbacks (16-13), with whom the Mets will play a four-game ...

I’m sure everyone had their fill last week
of first-half retrospectives and report cards and highlight reels
set to music. Yet, looking back is something that should be done. Even in a season that has been a bumpier ride than many fans expected or ...

Before I begin, a quick point: judging just
by the site’s name, all of the readers and
commenters here are analytical, thoughtful people. It is normal and healthy for analytical, thoughtful people to disagree, and I think that’s why ...

Philip Humber has had enough ups and downs
in his young baseball career to fill a decade,
yet he has only pitched a grand total of nine major league innings. Even with such little major league experience, Humber will be turning 25 later this year, so ...
