Delgado wants to return in ‘09

 Delgado pulls a Puckett
Delgado pulls a Puckett
It’s a classic baseball story. 1991 World Series, the Fall Classic. Atlanta Braves. Minnesota Twins. Game 6. The Minnesota Twins had just dropped three straight to the Braves in Atlanta. They were one game away from being elimnated. The pregame mood was somber.

 Pick up Deglado's option on one condition: Jerry stays too
Pick up Deglado's option on one condition: Jerry stays too
I know I wanted the Mets to wait until the season was over, to see what Carlos Delgado could do during that final month of the season, but no more. The Mets should reward him, and strengthen the team, by picking up his option for next year, as long as Jerry Manuel is the manager next year, too. Degl

Carlos Delgado capped his 2nd two-homer game of the week with a game-tying solo shot in the eighth Wednesday, and the Mets tacked on three more runs in the inning and retook a half-game lead in the NL East with a 6-3 win over the Phillies.  ...

Game Recap: Mets 6 -- Phillies 3
We'll take that first place back, thank you very much. Pitching Performance I thought it was going to be a disaster night, a disaster outing for Johan Santana . I was pretty wrong, I guess. Santana got off to a rocky start, surrendering a two-run home run in the first inning to Ryan Howard. In the second, he let up a solo shot to Jayson Werth. I honestly thought it was going downhill from ...

Game Recap: Mets 9 -- Astros 1
In the words of Ryan Punzalan: This kid is a stud. Pitching Performance Mike Pelfrey is a beast. He turned in his second complete game victory in a row, throwing nine innings of one run baseball. Pelfrey threw only 108 pitches, and needed only 18 to get through the last two innings. He allowed six hits, two of which came in the ninth, where the Astros scored their only run. On what would ...

 Luis Castillo up in place of John Maine; Mets have three second basemen?
Luis Castillo up in place of John Maine; Mets have three second basemen?
Well this makes no sense. With John Maine on the DL, it made it much easier for the Mets to bring Luis Castillo back from his extended stay on the disabled list. This leaves the Mets with Castillo and Argenis Reyes , who can pretty much only play second base, and Damion Easley , who can play first, second and left. Too bad Daniel Murphy and Nick Evans are seemingly entrenched in left, and ...

"This is beginning to look like the Mets' year " Thanks, Mark Herrmann. Thanks a lot. No one is suggesting this is going to end in a championship, or there is something miraculous afoot. But there is no denying strange stuff is happening. I can't deny that. Maybe it's just some bad teams playing poorly, but almost everything seems to be swinging the Mets way lately, especially their own bats. ...

Game Recap: Mets 6 -- Braves 3
Tonight was Mike Pelfrey 's night, from beginning to end. Pitching Performance Nine very strong innings for Pelfrey in his first complete game of his career. Simply beautiful. Pelfrey allowed one run in the third inning on a single. The other two runs were added in the sixth, one on a double play and the other on a wild pitch. Pelfrey only allowed three hits, walked three, and you guessed ...

Put away your brooms... Pitching Performance The man with the quick pitch count, John Maine , labored through five innings today, as he threw 96 pitches but only allowed two hits. Maine walked four and struck out three, but can't seem to keep his PC below 75 through four innings. Maine didn't factor in the decision, as the Mets offense sputtered and the bullpen played the part of "sieve" and ...

Perez pitched a scoreless game into the seventh inning, but let in runs when Pete Orr hit a pinch-hit triple to right, scoring two. Another run scored when Carlos Delgado overran a ball at first base and Orr scored from third. Perez went ...

MLB: Assault On The Record Books
Last night Randy Johnson allowed just two runs over six innings to beat the Colorado Rockies and he struck out seven while giving up five hits and one walk.  This gave the 44 year old 10 wins for the season, six shy of 300 career wins. If Johnson can hang on just a little bit longer he will hit a number that is becoming more and more difficult as teams are cutting back on the number of ...
