Comparing the Mets' pitch count splits against MLB averages from 2002-2010
The Mets certainly give the impression of a good idea at the plate during their recent five-game winning streak. They're hitting, moving runners, and generally performing as well as one could ask in late April (except for the bunting, of course). It's too early to determine sustainability for much...
The Candidate Collection: Three...Mets!?
It's time once again to consider three candidates for the Brewer managerial vacancy. Today, with the help of Eric Simon of Amazin Avenue, we'll take a look at three candidates that either work or have worked for the Mets organization: Jerry Manuel (Mets manager from 2008-2010) Bobby Valentine...
Mets Dump Omar Minaya And Jerry Manuel
According to a press release that has since been retweeted by the huddled masses, Omar Minaya has been "relieved of his duties" as Mets General Manager and Jerry Manuel, for whom the Mets have a team option to retain for 2011, will not be brought back. John Ricco will serve as interim GM until...
Wally Backman As Mets Manager Is A Bad Idea
Jerry Manuel's dismissal after the season seems imminent, so discussion about the Mets' next manager has materialized. One name that consistently pops up, for some reason, is Wally Backman, former Mets second baseman and current manager of the Single-A Brooklyn Cyclones. I say "for some reason"...
Poll: Will Fernando Martinez Start Tonight?
Update, 5:02 PM The poll is closed. If you answered "no", you are correct. Your prize is four more years of Omar Minaya. The 2010 New York Mets' motto is "rush unpolished prospects and sit them on the bench". Original post, 12:00 PM Twenty-one year old prospect Fernando Martinez has not started...
Mets 8, Cardinals 2: Can Jerry Manuel Stay Suspended?
If I were the Mets I would probably appeal Jerry Manuel's suspension which came as a result of his ejection and histrionics in San Francisco. I would bring video evidence and eyewitness accounts of the events. I would solicit expert testimony from folks who understand the appeals process inside...
Diamondbacks 4, Mets 3: You're Doing It Wrong
<!--<p><span style="float: right; padding-left: 10px;"><img class="photo" src="resultimage" style="border: 1px solid #000;" /></span></p>--> It didn't have to happen this way. It might've happened anyway, but not like this. The only explanation for allowing Oliver Perez to pitch...
Jerry Manuel Holds Closed-Door Meeting
This oughta be rich. According to Andy Martino of the Daily News, Jerry Manuel called a closed-door meeting with the Mets because, as the skipper put it, "I hadn't had one in a while." Sounds like a good BM. Martino goes on to describe the meeting, per members of the Mets, as "nothing dramatic",...
Mets 5, Nationals 3: Niese Gets Win, Rodriguez The "Save"
Thanks to Jerry Manuel, a lovely recap about a wonderful Jon Niese start has gone down the toilet, replaced by yet another needless rant about how experienced managers make game-altering tactical decisions based on the arbitrary prerequisites of a meaningless stat "invented" by sportswriter Jerome...
Jerry Manuel Can't Make Up His Mind On Mejia
Jerry Manuel made a big stink in spring training about keeping Jenrry Mejia in the MLB bullpen, to the chagrin of anyone with a modicum of common sense. He wanted Mejia to stick with throwing fastballs, in lieu of working on secondary pitches. From the NY Post on March 23: "I would like to see...
