FLUSHING, NY – As he tries to become a king in Queens, Mike Pelfrey’s quest has become reality in the last month, when his pitching was aces on the mound.
And in true baseball tradition his teammates recognized his effort with a cool baseball nickname.
“Blackjack”
On the board in the clubhouse the rotation for the weekend was [...]

Johan Santana goes tonight for the Amazins’ as they look to get their winning streak to five, which will tie a season high.
It’s an important start for the Mets ace, because the team has failed to win in his last six starts went 0-4 with two no decisions. But he does have a 2.96 ERA [...]

Ok I’m here at Shea tonight and have a few thoughts.
1) Church is DLed with Nick evans back up. Evans is here for tonight’s game.
2) It’s Jet night with six former Jets who played at Shea here tonight. The list: Greg Buttle, Emerson Boozer, Randy Beverly, John Schmitt, Marty Lyons and Wesley Walker.
3) A terrible [...]

I have a BBQ to go to, so hopefully no signings today. Will be back tomorrow with something on the Mets.
Have a safe one.

FLUSHING, NY – Maybe for sanity reasons, the 8-2 Met drubbing of the Seattle Mariners was a welcome and needed event. Sure, you get your laughers every once in a while, but this season those easy wins just seem to be few and far between.

My Sunday doubleheader continues. I was at Shea earlier and now sitting here at the Garden for Game 3.
Before the game, the media spoke with Tom Renney, who seemed very loose as his team looks to take control of this series by going up 3-0.
Jaromir Jagr came in and showed the press his Stanley Cup [...]

Ok, after a few weeks of covering the Mets and some other personal stuff going on, I am back.
Tonight we get the Devils in New Jersey, which should be a blood war if the first five minutes is anything. Sean Avery is already out with a five for fighting and the hits are coming.
But the Rangers are [...]

Just flew down this morning to Port St. Lucie and taking in the game with the Mets and Red Sox.
Some things about the game, Carlos Beltran is back on his first day, Carlos Delgado is back and Johan Santana is pitching.
It will be interesting to see how they perform.
I will have more later when I [...]

NEW YORK – With the Giants winning and the Mets getting Johan Santana, it’s easy to overlook what’s bad in the New York sports world. The Knicks and Nets have both been horrible with little end in sight. And the hockey teams haven’t been much better. Even the New York Rangers, who were coming on, [...]
