Ryan Church was a late scratch from yesterday’s game against Italy, because, according to Steve Popper of the Bergen Record, “Church was hobbling around the clubhouse all morning with an ice pack attached to his right knee.” In the Daily News, Adam Rubin explain...

Is Jerry Manuel putting a gun to his own head by shifting Jose Reyes out of the leadoff spot? Oh, baby! Spring Training games start Wednesday – meaning that in less than 24 hours, we’re going to be checking out boxscores. It doesn’t get any sweeter than that. Well, except checking out boxscore...

JM: Hey Danny! DM: Yes coach? JM: I've got great news for you. I've decided to make you my left fielder. DM: That is great news. Thanks, coach! RC: And what for me, coach? I'm all better now from my headaches. JM: Oh Churcherella, you know I just can't just give you 162 games and say "you're my righ...

Here is a quick one-minute video of Ryan Church taking batting practice, following by Fernando Martinez – the video doesn’t do Martinez’s swing justice, as he’s working to hit the ball to opposite field: viewNode("a4571a424c8c2", {"width": 320, "height": 263, "player_profile"...

Answer me this: Do you really want to know who else is on this "A-Rod list?" Do you really want to know who tested positive for the juice in '03? I'd rather not.

The following is random stuff I'm posting in the comments section about a person or persons of my choosing. These are your ...

The All-Star break is over, and it’s time for the second half of the season to begin. The Mets are probably looking forward to getting back out there more than any other team too, as they went into the break sizzling hot on a 9-game winning streak. The Amazins will try to show they have not co...

Mike Pelfrey won his 6th straight start and the Mets won their 9th straight, beating the Rockies 7-0 and completing the sweep to end the unofficial first half of the season. Pelfrey threw 8 shutout innings and was fantastic again. For the 2nd straight start he did not walk a single batter, and it s...

Excellent. Sports Illustrated's jinx is alive and well. It figures that the Mets would celebrate the return of the New York Jets by putting up a touchdown against the team formerly known as the New York Giants ... and more importantly, against starter Tim Lincecum. There's probably something pervers...

The Mets and Phillies have already provided us with more than enough twists and turns and runners left on base and game-breaking home runs and late-inning drama for one series, and there’s still another game to play. If the Mets win tonight, they would get back over .500 for the first time in ...
