A Whole Buncha Staff: Another Loss, Frenchy Traded, Duda and Mejia Come Up and Multi-Year for Dickey

How things have changed in 48 hours...

After the Mets were man-handled for a second consecutive day by the Braves 9-2 (box score) and Philly beat the Dodgers 8-4, the Mets seem to be done.  Any lingering hope that the Mets would make a run and make this season interesting has died over these past two days as the Braves continue to show the Mets what a good team looks like.  It's not worth lingering on this game because more important things have since happened...

First off, Jeff Francoeur was traded to Texas for Jaoquin Arias.  Arias is a utility infielder and probably was worth it in as much as the Mets got SOMETHING back for Frenchy.  And for the record, I still really like Frenchy, and would love nothing more than to see him win a ring with the Rangers.  Most because if the Rangers win that means the Yankees, Phillies and Braves won't win.  Regardless, I hope Frenchy can turn it around down there, he seems like a hard worker and a guy who really wants to win.  I'm just upset he couldn't win, and produce, here in New York.

As I first discovered on rotoworld, the Mets have promoted by Jenrry Mejia and Lucas Duda.  I like it, keep the kids coming and let Duda play.  I think the next move is getting rid of Jerry and let the building towards next season begin...

And finally, according to Andy Martino of the Daily News, here, the Mets are willing to talk about an extension with Dickey in the off-season.  This is dangerous to me.  While I am down for the Mets bringing back Dickey, as he's been awesome this season, I'm afraid.  The Mets have saddled themselves with some bad contracts in the past few years, so while I want Dickey back, I don't want him back if it's going to hold the team back in the future.  The Mets should make a deal with Dickey, but it sure as hell better be reasonable, and most importantly, tradeable should they need to move him...

I just look at what happened with Perez and Castillo and see that potentially happening with Dickey.  At the same time, he's been awesome and deserves to get a new contract and a good one.  If the Mets re-up him, I think the rotation for next year is probably set with Santana, Pelfrey, Niese, Dickey and Mejia. 

Mets' Comeback Falls Short, Miss Opportunity to Gain Ground

I'm not saying the Mets have a good, or even decent shot at the playoffs.  In fact, I would say their chances are slim...BUT...for me to even believe they still have a shot though, they need to capitalize when they have a chance to gain ground.  Last night was a great example of how the Mets had a chance to gain ground on the NL wild card leading Phils.  If the Mets had won last night they'd be looking at a sweep tonight, only 6 games back, looking at the Astros coming in tomorrow night.  Instead the Mets comeback fell short as they lost to the Marlins 5-4 (box score).

After going down 5-1 in the seventh the Mets put together a two-run 7th on a triple from Ike Davis and an RBI single from Frenchy.  In the ninth D. Wright led off the inning with a homer to center off of Leo Nunez.  Then the Mets were able to get the bases loaded and Jose Reyes to the plate with two outs, but unfortunately Jose grounded out to first to end the game.

Although they lost, the last two nights have shown a lot to me in terms of the team not giving up yet.  They could have easily gone into the toiilet the last two nights but instead fought and made a game of it.  Fortunately there is still some season left and a big run could make the end of this season fun again.  At this point, that's all I'm rooting for...

Tonight it's Anibal Sanchez against Jon Niese at 7:10 in the "Citi"...

Mets Send Misch to the Hill Looking for the "W": Line Up

Tonight the Mets are sending Pat Misch to the hill against the Marlins.  Here's the line up courtesy of the Mets on twitter:
Reyes-SS
Pagan-LF
Beltran-CF
Wright-3B
Davis-1B
Francoeur-RF
Thole-C
Tejada-2B
Misch-P
By the way, I know people are still down on Frenchy, and I totally get it.  But I think if the team has any run left in the tank this season, it's going to rely on Frenchy because from what I saw of F-Mart on his last go-around, he's not ready yet.  Either way...
Let's go Mets.  Give the fans one last run for the hell of it...

Mets Have Opportunity Tonight to Be Behind Only 5 (or 4) Teams in the NL Wild Card Race: Line Up

Tonight the Mets take on the Marlins at 7:10 a the "Citi".  The Mets will send R.A. Dickey to the hill to take on Josh Johnson of the Marlins.  This will not be an easy task for a Mets offense that outside of two games in Pittsburgh has had a tough time providing run support for Dickey (and Santana).  BUT...

Should the Mets be able to pull of the win tonight, they will leapfrog at least one team in the Wild Card standings, because the Marlins are currently a half-game ahead of the Mets in the WC standings.  And, if things break their way, the Mets may actually be able to jump two teams in the WC standings tonight, as they are only a half game behind the Dodgers as well, who are starting a 3 game series in Milwaukee tonight.

Here's tonight's Mets Line-Up courtesy of the Mets on twitter:

Reyes-SS
Pagan-LF
Beltran-CF
Wright-3B
Davis-1B
Francoeur-RF
Thole-C
Tejada-2B
Dickey-P

Interesting that we're seeing Frenchy in tonight against Johnson instead of Carter, who Manuel mentioned a few days ago would be getting more starts and is a lefty...

Mets May Lose K-Rod For the Season, Win Game 3-1

According to Metsblog, here, K-Rod is likely gone for the season as he will have surgery on a torn ligament in his thumb which he sustained during the circus last week.  Way to go, K-Rod.  This MAY be the dumbest thing I've heard in some time.  Also according to Metsblog, the team is looking into their options with K-Rod, presumably looking to void his contract due to a non-baseball related injury.  There is something funny about that phrase "non-baseball related injury"...BUT none of this will matter as Cerrone points out the Baseball Players Union is a tough opponent to take down...

As for things that happen on the field...

Tonight the Mets got a great start from Jon Niese and fought hard to take the first of four from the Astros in Houston, 3-1 (box score).  The new Mets closer, Takahashi, came in and went 1-2-3 in the ninth to secure his first major league save.  Will he be the closer for the rest of the season?  Who knows?  But for now, it looks like he's the guy in the ninth.

The Mets got back to .500 on the season behind a homer from Carlos Beltran and a triple from Frenchy.  Also, Jon Niese was awesome going 7 innings giving up only 1 run on 7 hits while striking out 5.  Unfortunately for Niese, the Mets had only scored one run for him and waited until the ninth to take the lead for good.  Niese deserved the win...but I guess beggars can't be choosers...

Tomorrow the Mets look to move back above .500 as they send Johan to the hill to face old friend Nelson Figueroa.

Kids Will Play, Line Up for Santana vs. Hamels Tonight at 7:05

Well, Castillo may not be off the team, but he's officially lost his starting job according to Metsblog.  In that post for Metsblog, Barron reports that Jerry will platoon Francoeur and Martinez in right while letting Tejada start and pushing Luis Castillo to the bench.

My reaction to all this is simple.  ABOUT TIME.  Although I would be happier if the team found a way to move Castillo, at least we won't have to watch him everyday anymore.  As for the platoon in right, while I still have a soft spot for Frenchy, he probably shouldn't be out there at all.  But, if the platoon is strictly righty-lefty then it's not terrible just based on there being more righties than lefties.  Regardless of the details I'm happy the organization is making a commitment to the future here.  Let's just hope they stay committed to this and don't flip-flop...

Anyway, tonight the Mets take on the Phillies again.  Here's the line up courtesy of the Mets on twitter:

Reyes-SS
Pagan-LF
Beltran-CF
Wright-3B
Hessman-1B
Francoeur-RF
Blanco-C
Tejada-2B
Santana-P

Ike gets the day off, and Ruben assumes his role as the everyday second baseman.  Maybe this will shake a few things loose. 

Let's Go Mets. 

Mets Lose Big Game, Call Up the Kids

Bad news, the Mets lost a very important game last night to the Phillies 7-5 after an abysmal 8th inning from the bullpen, specifically Bobby Parnell (box score).  Good news, the team is shaking things up by bringing up F-Mart and Ruben Tejada, according to Metsblog. 

Here's all I'm saying about last night, it was awful.  The Mets are lucky to only be 8 back after last night, but I think at this point it's fair to say any excitement we'll get from the Mets for the rest of the season will be from the dismantling of this team, and the kids being given a chance to play.

That being said...

According to the Metsblog link above, which by the way is a very interesting thread to read if for nothing but seeing the way the story developed, both Ruben Tejada and Fernando Martinez are coming up to the club.  As Barron says in the post, you have to figure they are coming up to play.  It'll be interesting to see the corresponding moves from the team, but to me, it's got to be designating Castillo and Francoeur for assignment, or some trades.  There really is no reason to bring these kids up to ride the pine, or to bring them up at the expense of guys like Carter.  It's just not worth it.

What I hope Omar is saying here is, we tried it with these guys and they didn't get the job done, so let's see what the kids can do.    

It can't be any worse than what the team is currently doing out there...

Huge Hit for Frenchy, Bigger Win For the Mets

To say Jeff Francoeur has been struggling lately is probably an understatement, but for tonight he's riding high.  Frenchy hit a HUGE ninth inning homer off of Billy Wagner tonight to give the Mets a 3-2 victory (box/wrap) in what was a MUST-WIN tonight in Atlanta.

Dickey pitched well tonight, and was able to fight through some jams earlier in the game.  Manny Acosta did the same later in the game coming in with one out and runners on the corner and getting pinch-hitter Troy Glaus to hit into a double play.  And K-Rod shut the door in a perfect ninth to keep the Mets afloat in the playoff hunt.  But...

Did I mention Frenchy hit a game-winning homer in the ninth?

I think Gary said it best after Frenchy's homer, when he said it looked like the Mets hadn't been more excited after a homer all year than they were tonight after Frenchy's.  Probably because this was a HUGE game, and that was a HUGE hit.  But I think there is something to be said about Frenchy's attitude and the idea that maybe the team WANTS Frenchy to succeed almost as badly as the fans do.  The bottomline here is that Frenchy has clearly struggled with the Mets, but there is something about him that still makes the team, and certain fans (myself included), like the guy.  While I agree that there is a certain point that no matter how much people like the guy he still needs to perform...BUT...I think a hit like this one, from a player as respected in the clubhouse as Francoeur seems to be, could really provide a lift for this team...

A team, by the way, that has an opportunity to be 5.5 games back after tomorrow night.  Not to state the obvious here but from now on every game is a huge one for the Mets.  Every night should be treated like it's the playoffs, because the truth is that another poor stretch of games will ultimately end their season.  So, with that in mind tomorrow the Mets send Mike Pelfrey to the hill against Kris Medlen in another big game against the Braves...

So there's only one thing left to say...

Let's go Mets.

My Opinion on Francoeur for Guillen Rumor

According to Jon Heyman on twitter, the Mets don't want to mess with the clubhouse chemistry by trading Francoeur to the Royals for Jose Guillen.

Would I pull the trigger on this deal?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.  This should have been dismissed the moment it was brought up.  The numbers aren't staggering for either player and Francoeur is much more valuable in the clubhouse.  The only way I would consider taking on Guillen if I were the Mets, is if the Royals were willing to take Castillo or Perez in the deal...but I sincerely doubt that would happen.

So for now, I say to Omar, sit on your hands...this one is not worth it.

Mets Find Stroke Against Wainwright, Beat Cards 8-2

Last night the Mets bats woke up, against an unexpected foe, as the Mets picked up a game on the Braves and beat the Cardinals 8-2 in the Citi (wrap/boxscore).

After a road trip where the Mets couldn't hit or drive in runs, they came home to face one of the NL's best pitchers in Adam Wainwright and predictably...pounded him?  What?  I really have no idea where this offense outpouring came from but I am very happy it came.  Especially after hearing yesterday that the Mets may not be buyers this trade deadline, this was well timed.  This team NEEDS to be in on the division race, and cannot give up yet, this year.  A nice win streak might convince ownership to re-visit some deals that could give the team an edge, because there is still plenty of time, and Mets fans WANT something to root for...

At the dish the Mets got homers from Reyes and Francoeur (playing because of Bay's concussion), along with RBI for Wright, Beltran and Davis to help the team beat up on Cy Young candidate Adam Wainwright.  Unreal...

And on the bump...Niese went 6 innings giving up only one earned run on 7 hits.  Acosta, Valdez and K-Rod finished up the game, which was basically decided by the time these guys came in.

Bottomline, the Mets had a good night, but need to follow it up tonight with another good performance. They face Jaime Garcia tonight at 7:10, when they sent Santana to the hill.

Let's Go Mets

Mets Finish Road Trip 2-9, Talk With Royals About Deals

Yesterday was the same old story lately for the Mets, their starter pitched well enough to win, but the team couldn't score as they lost 1-0 to the Dodgers in L.A. (box/wrap).

This was a terrible road trip, and the Mets SOMEHOW managed to stay within reach of the Braves, although the Phillies are making a move.  Hopefully some home-cooking will make a difference this week, even though these aren't easy games against the Cardinals (Garcia, Wainwright and Suppan) before getting the D'backs again (we know how well that went last time).  All this before heading to Atlanta and Philly in consecutive series.

This will be a telling stretch for the Mets, especially considering the trade deadline just happens to fall into that time period.  Speaking of trade deadline...

Ken Rosenthal tweeted that the Mets are talking with the Royals about swapping some bad contracts.  Rosenthal mentions Farnsworth, Meche and Guillen as players in a potential deal, along with Cashstealo, Perez and Frenchy.  Although Rosenthal does mention that these probably won't be a straight three-for-three or even that a deal is imminent, he does acknowledge that things are being talked about. 

As much as I love Frenchy, and hate Jose Guillen, if you are the Mets and this deal (or some iteration of it) is possible, you HAVE to pull the trigger.  Farnsworth is having a very good year, and Meche if he's healthy can definitely help bolster your pitching staff.  But to me this biggest thing here is to get rid of the headaches you have in Perez and Castillo.  If Omar has a chance to move them, he really should jump on it as long as they're not going to cost any big time prospects.

Anyway, the Mets get tonight off before starting their series with the Cardinals tomorrow.  I hope coming back home will change their fortune, and the way they play ball, because this past weekend was NOTHING fun to watch...

Mets Blanked Again, Having More Trouble Scoring Than a Fat Kid in High School

Last night the Mets were blanked for the third time on this road trip, and lost to the Dodgers 2-0 despite a good effort from Hisanori Takahashi (box score/wrap).

When will enough be enough already?  This road trip has been miserable.  The team is losing, and looking terrible doing it.  On this current road trip the Mets have been shut out three times, not ONCE scoring more than 4 runs in a game.  They've scored 15 runs in their last 8 games...I'm no math major here, but that's less than 2 runs/game.  That isn't going to win anything, anytime, anywhere...

On a night where the line up was without Beltran, Bay and Barajas (which I don't think was a bad thing), the team only managed 5 hits with two of them coming from the often benched Jeff Francoeur.  I don't blame Jerry for shaking things up, in fact, Carter and Frenchy provided the only real offense spark last night.  At one point they put a runner on third base...that was fun.

I guess the bright side, if there has to be one, is that Takahashi didn't get lit again.  That was good.  He went 7 innings giving up 2 runs on 3 hits.  I just hope this doesn't convince management that their rotation is in good shape, because they still need another starter.

Not to get on this train again, BUT, the Mets are 0-4 since Castillo returned...Can you say black cloud?

The Mets try to turn things around tonight in L.A. sending Santana to the hill against Vincente Padilla...

Come on, Mets.

Frenchy May Be On His Way Out

In this article Mike Puma of the New York Post says that the Mets may be sending Jeff Francoeur somewhere else "by the time the Mets finish their series with Los Angeles this weekend."

Well that stinks.

I like Frenchy.  I like his personality.  I love his arm.  I'm not crazy about his plate discipline.  But I still want to see him succeed, and see him succeed in NY, with the Mets.  BUT...

I get it.  Pagan, Beltran and Bay.  There just isn't room for Frenchy...

He's not going to play everyday here, and he should have that opportunity.  Also, he's probably one of the more valuable trade pieces the Mets have right now, in that he's not essential to the team winning and he's young enough, and talented enough, that he has SOME value to a team willing to take a chance on him.  Most likely, we're not talking about a big deal here.  It'll probably be something to help the bullpen, or he'll be part (not necessarily a key one) of a deal that could potentially net a starting pitcher.

Either way, I'm a bit dissapointed.  But I think most people saw this coming at some point.  I know he was only in New York for what amounts to a year, BUT, this feels like I am breaking up with a girlfriend.  I just hope we can still be friends...

Mets Wrap Up First Half With W, 48-40 Record

Today, Johan Santana stepped up and delivered his second consecutive dominant performance, and helped lead the Mets to a 3-0 victory (box score/wrap).

Santana threw 7 innings giving up only 5 hits and walking 3, while striking out 5.  Bobby Parnell came in after Johan and continued his quality performances since returning to the bigs with a perfect eighth inning before K-Rod came in and threw a perfect inning of his own.  Mets pitching was the story today, and that was what brought the team back to within 4 games of the Braves.

For the Mets at the plate, Ike Davis went VERY deep, Josh Thole got a pinch hit RBI and Alex Cora drove in a run as well.

The Mets head into the All-Star Break 4 games back of the Braves and 8 games over .500, and they'll be getting, arguably their best player, Carlos Beltran back right after the break.  In order to make the room for Beltran, Jesus Feliciano was sent back down, and Angel Pagan will be sliding over to right field.  Although I want to see more playing time for Frenchy, there is no denying that Angel Pagan makes this team better than Francoeur does.  I hate to say this, but Frenchy will have to be a part-time player for the rest of the season, unless he is traded or something...

Either way, this team is a LOT better than people thought they would be at this point in the season and that alone is VERY EXCITING.  The second half will hopefully be full of more good baseball and more Met victories...

Let's Go NL. 

Mets Go For Series Win Behind Niese at 7:10, Line Up

Niese takes the hill against Bronson Arroyo at 7:10.  Here's the line up courtesy of the Mets on twitter:

Reyes-SS
Pagan-CF
Wright-3B
Davis-1B
Bay-LF
Thole-C
Feliciano-RF
Cora-2B
Niese-P

Jerry's been looking for ways to get Thole in there and facing a righty starter tonight is a great opportunity.  I'm not wild about sitting Frenchy for Feliciano, but I guess he needs the night off despite the day off tomorrow and the up-coming All-Star break. I really hope that's not the logic there.  It's more likely that it's a righty/lefty thing for Jerry, he loves that stuff.  Also getting the night off is Tejada, once again a victim of righty/lefty match ups.  


Let's see a good one out of Niese tonight, this would be a nice win heading into the weekend against the Braves...

Beltran Might Be Back Monday, Or July 15

So, it looks like the countdown to Carlos is getting real.  According to Adam Rubin of ESPN NewYork, here, the two dates the Mets are targeting for Beltran's return are July 5th and July 15th.  In his article Rubin goes on to explain that if Carlos will not be available for Monday against the Reds, then it wouldn't be worth activating Carlos for the last series before the all-star break.  The reasoning being that once Carlos gets going, they wouldn't want him to have days off for the break, and might rather have him play through the break and then activate him on the 15th instead.

I can't deny the logic there.  It makes sense to keep Carlos playing and active.  Although I would love to have him up by Monday, if he needs a little more time then July 15th sounds great to me.  It would be a nice boost for the team to have Carlos back before the break, and it will certainly create an interesting outfield scenario for the Mets as the trade deadline approaches.  It'll be interesting to see what happens to Angel Pagan and Jeff Francoeur's playing time once Beltran returns. 

But having too many good outfielders is a nice problem to have, especially when one of them is a healthy Carlos Beltran...

Mets Go Deep, Beat Twins 6-0 To Take the Series

David Wright, Jeff Francoeur and Ike Davis powered the Mets to a 6-0 victory behind some great pitching from Niese and the bullpen (wrap/box score). 

Today was a total team effort, great pitching and some good hitting as well.  Francoeur, Feliciano and Wright all had three hits for the Mets.  Ike Davis also brought it today, going 2-4 with the homer and 2 runs scored. 

On the hill, Niese was great going 6 innings and giving up only 4 hits and 3 walks.  The bullpen also got the job done tossing 3 scoreless innings after Niese left the game. 

Today was a great day on the field for the Mets, but not a great day off it.  Both Jenrry Mejia and Angel Pagan are injured, as Mejia went down today with shoulder stiffness, as relayed here.  Meanwhile, Angel Pagan continues to be out with some muscle issues on his side.  Originally expected to be back tomorrow, Metsblog is reporting it'll probably be another few days.

Tomorrow the Mets head to Puerto Rico to take on the Marlins.  Game one features R.A. Dickey against Ricky Nolasco at 7:10.  The team just needs to keep winning series, and what a better way to start than taking the first of three tomorrow night...

Let's Go Mets.

Rumors For Lee Include Mejia and Pagan

According to this article from the Mariners Blog on The Seattle Times' site, the Mets and Twins seem to be the two teams most likely to land Cliff Lee.  This link was forwarded via rotoworld.com, here, as well as Metsblog.

The most interesting part of the article isn't that the Mets seem to be in on Lee, but instead who they could potentially give up to get him.  In the post, Geoff Baker puts the Twins in the driver's seat with the potential addition of Wilson Ramos, a solid catching prospect in the Twins organization.  But Baker is also quick to point out that the Mets have some serious talent of their own that they could include.  Specifically, Baker mentions rumors that the Mets might include Jenrry Mejia and Angel Pagan in a deal for Lee, which Baker thinks would be enough to get Lee to the Mets.

So the obvious question is, Would you take that deal?

My answer...maybe.

Here are my hang ups, Lee's impending free agency and Beltran's health.  If the Mets were to make a deal like this they would need to make sure they could extend Lee and that Beltran was 100%.  While I really like Mejia and Pagan, if Beltran comes back healthy, I would absolutely consider this deal, assuming you could extend Lee.  But those are two BIG BUTS....

So, I think I would pull the trigger if Lee were extended and Beltran proved to be healthy because to me Cliff Lee and Carlos Beltran are better than Jenrry Mejia and Angel Pagan.  But, like I said before, I would need to see a healthy Beltran and I would need to see an extended Lee, and I don't think both of those chips can realisitically fall into place...

Would you make the deal?

It's Raining Hits, And...Uh...Rain, As Mets Pound Tigers 14-6

Last night the Mets pounded out 16 hits against the Tigers, including Justin Verlander, and outlasted the rain in a 14-6 win (box score/wrap).

There was a lot of offense to report from last night.  The top 4 hitters in the Mets line up all had at least 3 hits each and an RBI.  In fact, the only starting position player without a hit or RBI or run scored was Rod Barajas, who has quietly slipped back down to a .246 batting average for the year. 

Here are some specifics on the offense explosion the Mets experience last night: Reyes went 3-6 with an RBI and 3 runs scored, Wright went 3-3 with 2 RBI and 3 runs scored, Davis went 3-6 with 3 RBI and 1 run scored.  But the biggest bat last night was Angel Pagan who went 4-6 with 4 RBI and 3 runs scored, and was only a homer away from the cycle.  And Reyes, Francoeur and Bay all swiped bases as well.

Niese pitched well for the first 3 innings, but then the rain came and washed away his good start.  Jerry decided to leave Niese out there after nearly an hour rain delay and it was pretty obvious that affected Niese.  But after Niese gave up 6 runs in 4 and 2/3 innings the bullpen only allowed one hit for the rest of the game, which is nice to see, especially considering the concern over the bullpen not having Mejia anymore.  At least tonight, that wasn't an issue...

But what might become an issue is Beltran making rehab starts beginning Thursday as reported by Metsblog, here.  I mean, Pagan is playing well, obviously.  Francoeur is also playing pretty well himself, so between the two of them Bay and Beltran the Mets will have quite a glut in the outfield.  This will be worth monitoring...especially considering the timing of Beltran's return and the way it may match up with the trade deadline...

Anywho...the Mets take on the Tigers in the second game of this three game set tonight with Dickey facing off against Jeremy Bonderman...

Let's Go Mets.

Mets Packed Their Brooms on this Roadtrip, Head to Yankee Stadium Next

The Mets are playing very well right now, and just completed their second consecutive three game sweep with a 6-4 win over the Indians tonight (box score/wrap up).

R.A. Dickey got the win going 6 innings giving up 3 runs (2 earned) on 7 hits while striking out 7.  Dickey may not have been great tonight, but he was good enough to win.  Dickey was supported by the Mets offense who pounded out another 14 hits tonight against Jake Westbrook and the Indians.  After tonight's performance, I may be reconsidering my stance on Westbrook...Or maybe the Mets are just THAT good right now.

Every starter except Frenchy had a hit (although Frenchy had an RBI).  Davis, Wright, Reyes and Blanco drove in the other runs for the Mets with Davis plating two.  Oh yeah, and Jose Reyes went 3-5 with a big RBI triple in the eighth and scored twice.  The Mets have been very good ever since he got back to being himself.

I love this team.  Ruben Tejada had two hits tonight and scored.  Jesus Feliciano scored.  Hank White (Henry Blanco) seems to get a big hit everytime he plays.  This is a hard team not to love...

The subway series round 2 returns tomorrow night when Takahashi takes on Javier Vasquez at Yankee Stadium.  The Mets are putting their 6 game road winning streak on the line, as well as their 7 game overall streak tomorrow night.  The game starts at 7:05 on SNY...

Let's Go Mets
