Mets Like Wolf, Wolf Likes Mets
Amazin' Avenue — ... At least ostensibly, the Mets have been showing interest in staggeringly unsexy free agent lefty Randy Wolf, most recently of the Astros (and Padres).

What Omar is Looking For
Jorge Says No! — Right now, the Mets only have three starters that are penciled into the 2009 rotation-Santana, Pelfrey, and Maine.

Each guy is a fly ball pitcher, which have historically been the type of pitchers that GM Omar Minaya likes to ...

Are The Phillies Mentioned in Every Mets Article?
Turnpike Series — In an effort to see what the enemy was up to, I read some articles on Mets.com. To my surprise, almost every article mentioned the Phillies. I understand the team's frustration and the desire to overtake the Phillies in the division, but do you make every move with the Phillies in mind? Example number 1: From Free Agent Wolf Confirms Mets Interest "And then there is the matter of the Phillies' batting order and its recently increased left-handed predominance." "Since the day Perez filed for free agency, a void has existed in the Mets' rotation. And that void appears greater now that the Phillies could have three left-handed-hitting run producers -- Chase Utley, Ryan ...
