 Jorge, Please Have The Surgery
Jorge, Please Have The Surgery
Posada is now deciding whether to have surgery on his shoulder and miss the next six months, or opt for rehab, return as DH/1B and miss then have the surgery. Posada obviously thinks the Yankees have a chance to win this year, and wants to be part of it, which is why he's trying to hang around. The real question is what's more important for the Yankees, and not Jorge Posada and his ego. ...

Philadelphia Phillies - MVP Attitude
The saying lead by example does not come to mind when speaking of Jimmy Rollins recently. Rollins was benched again today in the final series against the New York Mets. Jimmy missed the team bus to Shea and decided to drive himself, but the traffic and lights hindered his transit. Rollins did not make it to Shea until 1 hr prior to the game start. He was quickly summoned to the Manager’s ...

 New York Mets in 1st Place - Hard to Argue?
New York Mets in 1st Place - Hard to Argue?
I thought Willie Randolph had the stuff to be a manager - he watched Torre for many years and was a baseball lifer. But it's impossible to argue with the turnaround of the Mets after his departure.

I'm sorry, what? The Marlins like playing in front of no one?
Let me lead off with a quote from the Miami Herald: Yes, it is a bummer for this pennant contender that folks aren't in the stands. But it also is a blessing the few sets of eyes on them are either looking through a rosy prism or not really paying attention. That is an advantage only the Marlins enjoy. This seems so absolutely foreign to me, I don't even know where I'd begin to break this

 Mets lucky to have No. 13
Mets lucky to have No. 13
Billy Wagner’s been around long enough to know the importance of Wednesday night’s game. He knew — win or lose — the Mets were still mathetically right in the thick of the race for the National League East. But Wagner, a 37-year old veteran, also knew his presence was more important than wins or losses. It was mental.

Further Musings
With six days of baseball after the All-Star Break, the author had a lot of ideas, but none deep enough to fill an entire column. Here are some more random musings… Just saw The Dark Knight… It was one of the better movies I’ve seen in years. It totally lived up to the hype. In my opinion, it transcended the genre of “comic book movie.” It was an insanely intense crime movie, ...

 Jose Reyes must read my blog
Jose Reyes must read my blog
Yesterday, I told the Mets to burn this image into their memory. I told them to use it as motivation for their games against Philadelphia and beyond. Well after Jose Reyes hit his three run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Mets in the lead for good, Reyes showed his rebuttal to Jimmy Rollins' celebration.

Things to Remember
1. Every run is sacred. Endy getting thrown out at home plate twice is not cute, no matter what the score is. It's leaving the door open for the wolf. 2. Don't be cavalier about who's closing. It's a tougher job than you think. I take back ...
