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...

Update, 12:41 pm: Luis Castillo met with reporters at Tradition Field a few moments ago. Castillo told reporters he contacted the Mets following last season to say he felt badly about his 2008 performance and that he was embarrassed. He said he knows he can do better in 2009. Castillo also said he i...

Yesterday, Jerry Manuel told reporters Luis Castillo will arrive to Tradition Field today. “I plan to spend a lot of time with him in spring training,” Manuel said.  “He’s a guy that I’m going to do everything I can to get him going… It will be a little fun ...

This is going to be the shortest list so far as I rank the players by position. Why is that? Well, I’ll answer that, as well as many other questions that I know you all will ask before you can blow up my inbox with hate mail. B.J. Upton is not on this list, he’ll be in the outfield ranki...

(Your self portrait may vary.) If the Javier Vazquez trade to the Braves doesn't convince Omar Minaya that spending money to fill holes isn't more prudent than dabbling in the trade market, I don't know what will.

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

The following is one in a series of random stuff I'm throwing against the wall about person or persons of my choosing. Thes...

It was a wild and crazy game in Philadelphia last night, perhaps even moreso than the typical Mets-Phillies showdown. The Mets scored their first two runs on a double play and an errant throw on a pickoff play, John Maine gave up three runs despite allowing just one hit and left the game because of ...

All right, break it up you two. Remember when Clubber Lang crashed the statue dedication for Rocky Balboa in Rocky III, and he let loose Mickey's secret that he was setting Rocky up with set-ups and bums to protect him? And Rocky didn't want to believe Clubber, but it was true? That's what this Reye...

Yeah, like this was a picture you didn't see coming. Before we get to what was good about last night's 11-1 thumping, don't you find it ironic that after seven innings of our announce crew (mostly Keith) fawning over how great Cardinals fans were, that it was a Mets fan in Busch II that brought nach...
