While this hottie couldn’t resist David Wright, Tim opted to pick up someone else with his first rounder. Well folks, now that 2009 is well underway, is there a better way to commence the New Year than getting that first league draft of 2009 under my belt? I’m not talking mock draft, but the...

I’m way behind here on publishing the commentary from each selection in our slow mock draft. To refresh your memory, go back and read the write-ups for round 1, round 2, and round 3. Round 4 : Pick 1(37) - @seniorcircuit - C.C. Sabathia - I was surprised and pleased to find Sabathia still on t...

Everyone has been screaming for rankings. I wanted to wait for a while, but I’m also tired of being harassed. Remember that it’s December 30th, and this list will surely change by the time the season starts. Also note that every team has at least one catcher on this list, some teams two....

If so, that's very Bill Ripkenesque. Who marks their bats that way? "Hey Francoeur, that's my bat; can't ...

It’s that time again, time to cast your annual All-Star ballot. If you haven’t already voted the ridiculous 25 times you’re allowed to, that is. Being a believer in the true democratic process, I’m casting one ballot this year, as I have every year. Being a believer in ...

Keith Hernandez said during Wednesday night’s broadcast that the Mets have hit “rock bottom,” as they lost their third straight in Atlanta, 11-4. Mike Pelfrey had good stuff, but his numbers were poor. The 6′7 righty threw hard for 4 innings and had good movement on his pitch...

The Mets were beaten handily twice by the Braves at Turner Field in what may seem like a recurring nightmare to Mets fans. But even though it looks like a similar story losing at Turner Field, this is just a new season with the same results. In the day game, the Mets faced their former ace Tom Glavi...

Top of the ninth, two on, one out. Adrian Gonzalez steps to the plate. Braves manager Bobby Cox summons ex-Padre Royce Ring, who promptly hangs a breaking ball. Gonzalez swats it high and deep down the right-field line. He, catcher Brian McCann, and plate umpire Wally Bell all watch as it sails into...
