The Game The Jerry Manuel Era looked an awful lot like the Willie Randolph Era on Tuesday night as the New York Mets gave a typical uninspired effort, managing just six hits (all singles) and one run while committing three errors en route to a 6-1...

With Mark Teixeira back in town, aside from the appeal of a series against the Braves and an opportunity to shave down the Angels' division lead and the Rays' Wild Card lead, two things bubbled to the surface of my Rangers brain. Number one: I loved...

Spoiled fingers in a club that’s a mess guess it’s gonna be love for the f--ked up kid (* Broken Mets Social Scene) As a source closely connected to the heated infighting over Randolph’s future told me on Monday, “Jeff has been remorseless in hi

Twins Notes: Liriano, Rincon, Guerra, Lamb, and Buscher Francisco Liriano turned in another encouraging outing Sunday at Triple-A, allowing two runs on five hits over 7.1 innings. With five strikeouts and more fly balls than ground balls he's still...

The Jerry Manuel era begins as inauspiciously as we could have imagined, with Jose Reyes departing with nondescript leg injury and the Mets managing practically nothing against John Lackey. Johan Santana did Manuel no favors by turning in a...

After media analysts were done ripping and tearing the Mets’ organization to shreds for their treatment of Willie Randolph , their attention turned to the appointment of new Mets interim manager Jerry Manuel . Several times it was related what...

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch! I somehow feel vindicated and applaud my own steel resolve. I was berated at times and called many unspeakable things for keeping my cause alive, but it is finally over. However, I think...

What do we say about Mike Pelfrey's outing last night against the Angels? Steady as a sinking ship Do we focus on the simple things like, well, he earned a rare victory, his first since what, like April 15th, kept the Mets in the game (sort of) and...

ANAHEIM _ The inevitable became reality tonight when the Mets fired the embattled Willie Randolph and made Jerry Manuel their 19th manager on an interim basis. The Mets also fired pitching coach Rick Peterson and first base coach Tom Nieto, and...

Carlos Beltran hit two solo homeruns off Jered Weaver i>, and Mike Pelfrey finally earned that elusive 3rd win of the year as the Mets got a huge series opening 9-6 win in Anaheim. Pelfrey, who has been pitching so much better of late, got his...

This game was a lot closer than I needed it to be. I was really hoping for a laugher here so I could go to sleep on the early side. Obviously, that didn't happen, as MLB's schedule-makers continue to mock me at every turn. Mike Pelfrey...

The Mets did something that they haven't done in a while, which was to tack on runs in a close game. Mets had a 4-3 lead coming into the 7th inning and added 4 runs and 1 run in the 9th which helped Mike Pelfrey win his first game since April 15th. ...
