Six-Days and Six-Games
The NY Mets may still turn the corner down Positive Street with two series wins against the Rockies, which begins tonite, and then a welcome-home series against the worst team in baseball, the Seattle Mariners.
Nevertheless, by beating the teams they should beat--Rockies and Mariners--the NY Mets should be focused on two-straight sweeps to beat the… Continue

Reyes and Manuel: Pushing the Right Buttons
The yappity-yap-yapping at the home-plate umpire; the meaningful and solid rear-end slaps from Manuel to his players; the emotion; the desire; the want; the clutch hits and the clutch save; the beginning of many more wins for Manuel and the Team!
It’s only one-win, having said that, the… Continue

The Blame-Finger Must Point Two-Ways: Randolph and Schoeneweis
The bigger picture is how they lost by walking 3-batters in 1-inning, with the last batter being the winning run. And it wasn’t just any kind of walk – the guy hit the batter for their winning run. Unacceptable.
The loss goes… Continue

O-Perez looks like he’s a short minute away from shedding some tears on Delgado’s shoulder. Coach Peterson saved himself a mound visit that may have concluded with a hug.

Accountability: Who Wants to Hold It?
Team sports and individual sports have their differences and similarities. One big-time relation is accountability.
I’ve personally had adventures with both dating back to when I was 2-years old. Surely, I don’t recall my athletic career beginning so youn… Continue

The, Used to be Amazin’ Mets have yet another opportunity to move their chins up and their fists high during a vital, 6-game-at-Shea series. Moreover, the hope of putting together a respectful winning streak has been way too far-and-in-between. Nonetheless, they’ll be back on their Westside Swing before they know it, so the home stand looks even more important.

I can honestly care less about Reyes’ “tap-dancing,” which did not cause for him to score the run – he would’ve scored the run if he had both feet on second-base waiting for Wright’s hit. Reyes is supposed to distract the pitcher, so it’s not something that surprises me.
The bigger picture is how they lost by walking 3-batters in 1-inning, with the last batter being the winning run. And it wasn’t just any kind of walk – the guy hit the batter for their winning run. Unacceptable.
The loss goes to Willie and Schoeneweis. Yes, Willie did not throw 4-straight balls after going-up 0-2 in the count to walk the first-batter. And Yes, Willie did not become walk-happy during the most important spot. Nevertheless, Willie did make the call for No-Show Schoeneweis to enter the game during the ninth-inning.
The Padres brought on their closer to pitch the ninth, so where was our ace closer – Wagner? Did Willie sit Wagner because he pitched a few-outs the game before? If so, than are you telling me that a pitcher of Wagner’s caliber – and a game of that importance – didn’t call for our best bullpen pitcher?
I’m slightly confused with Randolph’s mentality, so if someone can explain his thought process, than I’d be much appreciative.
The Mets are now 37-22 in the 59 games John Maine has started for them. That .627 winning percentage is the highest for any pitcher in Mets history with a minimum of 50 starts, ahead of Rick Reed, Dwight Gooden, and Ron Darling.
O-Perez looks like he’s a short minute away from shedding some tears on Delgado’s shoulder. Coach Peterson saved himself a mound visit that may have concluded with a hug.
The pouting must go. The importance of monitoring, supporting, and leading bullpen pitchers is one-thing; making sure one of your starters remains focused, confident, and relaxed is surely another thing.
O-Perez undoubtedly has enough support and leadership, thus, when we witness a picture telling the complete story, than we really need to believe that it’s something that only O-Perez can deal with.
What will he decide to do – continue pouting with both shoulders slumped over – or will he continue learning from pitchers like Johan and Pedro, while stepping-up to the mound and dealing with the most important thing right now . . . himself.
