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...

Jose Reyes went 3-4 with 2 RBIs, and John Maine pitched 6 solid innings as the Mets took the rubber game of their series with the Giants 5-3 at AT&T park Wednesday afternoon. Among Jose’s 3 hits was another homerun, his 8th of the year. Reyes, who only hit 12 homeruns all of last year, is ...

The Mets conclude their 3-game series in San Francisco this afternoon with a chance to win their 3rd straight series. New York lost the opener due to Oliver Perez’s dreadful performance on Monday, but they bounced back with a big win last night behind the return of Pedro Martinez. The Amazins ...

Welcome back to The Opposing Viewpoint, the place to learn about the Mets’ opponents from the bloggers who write about them. After a homestand that began with turmoil and ended on a high note, the Mets begin a West Coast road trip in San Francisco. While the Giants are not a good offensive tea...

When Brian Sabean signed Aaron Rowand this offseason it became clear that the San Francisco Giants had no clear direction. Signing an average hitter coming off of a career year in a hitter’s park to spend five years in a pitcher’s park just did not make much sense. This lack of direction...

Thanks to reader Lance for hooking us up with seats two rows behind the visitors dugout on Wednesday night. First time I’ve been anywhere near that close at Petco Park, and it’s a whole different experience. For a guy like me who lives in nosebleed, just, wow. Also, belated welcome to al...

This is something I began over at Statistically Speaking but it makes more sense to continue here at Fangraphs. Giants pitcher Matt Cain had an historically unlucky season in 2007, posting statistics similar to, if not better than, most NL starting pitchers. And yet, at the end of the season, all he...

That wrist and thumb fatigue about which Noah Lowry complained after a pair of rough spring outings has a cause: exertional compartment syndrome of his left forearm, thanks to high forearm pressure compressing a nerve, blocking his ability to control his pitches. So said Sports Ticker in reporting L...

The Aaron Rowand signing has led Brian Sabean to pull his young starters off the market (to the extent that they were ever available). Specifically, the idea of an Alex Rios for Tim Lincecum swap is dead. The Giants are still looking for help at the infield corners and in the 'pen. It's ...
