Manuel Makes Mets Look Smart

Jul 11th, 2008 | By Joe McDonald | Category: Featured Stories

FLUSHING, NY – Things have sure changed around here at Shea Stadium over the past month. The Jerry Manuel era is in full swing with the transition period complete and the team winning games like it’s 2006 all over again.
Six games in a row will calm any clubhouse but this is not about the streak, [...]



Pelfrey Comes Up Aces

Jul 9th, 2008 | By Joe McDonald | Category: New York Mets, Top Stories

FLUSHING, NY – Back in Spring Training if anyone thought Mike Pelfrey would be the Mets best pitcher come the All-Star break, he or she would have been laughed at and thought to be a kook.

Jun 29th, 2008 | By Joe McDonald | Category: Featured Stories, New York Rangers

It’s been tough to be up close and personal with the New York Rangers after their season ended in May. As a reporter who covers two sports, I move directly to Shea Stadium once Madison Square Garden goes dark for the summer. So I know as much about the Rangers these days as the general [...]



If Willie Goes Manuel is not a Bad Choice

Jun 15th, 2008 | By Joe McDonald | Category: Featured Stories

 
FLUSHING, NY – Willie Randolph may have been the only one at Shea last night thankful for the rain out. No game meant he still had a win in his back pocket from Friday, and the good will from Oliver Perez’s performance was the only thing not washed away from the storm.
The manager, though, still [...]

72 Hours Is Not A Long Time

Jan 30th, 2008 | By Joe McDonald | Category: NYSR Blog

The Mets now have 72 hours to complete the deal for Johan Santana and Omar Minaya is not wasting any time by meeting with Santana’s agent Peter Greenberg later today.
Now here’s the problem, the Mets need to compete the deal no mater what. If they don’t it will kill the fanbase, which is already disillusioned, [...]

Great Game Tonight And Some Thoughts On The Series

Apr 23rd, 2007 | By Joe McDonald | Category: NYSR Blog

First, hats off to the Vancouver Canucks. Great game and also a tip of the cap to Joel “Henrik’s Brother” Lundqvist, who scored the only Dallas goal.
It’s funny, I was sitting in front of my TV just hoping it would not go into overtime. Not because it would end at 2 a.m., but because the [...]
