According to the Associated Press, the Mets have released RHP Mike DeJean and placed 2B Kaz Matsui on the 15–day disabled list, while activating LHP Dae Sung-Koo and promoting OF Gerlad Williams from Norfolk…
…had keppinger not fractured his left knee last week, i have to imagine he would’ve been promoted, instead…nice timing…
…gerald williams…unreal…gerald…ice…williams…i can’t believe it has come to this…
Last Friday, Carlos Beltran talked with MLB Radio’s Stayin Hot…
When asked about his health, Beltran stated that his leg is still bothering him. Although he is working as hard as he can, if he were 100 percent, Beltran added, he’d be able to do a lot more, noting he just can’t play the game the way he wants to play it…
…he should have been on the disabled list weeks ago…as i asked a month ago, which is better, a weak beltran now or a strong beltran later…
…to listen to beltran complete interview, check out the archives at mlb radio from june 17…
“No one in this room is giving up. We’re not going to give up. There’s no reason to,” Mark Hale of the New York Post quotes Doug Mientkiewicz as saying. “Every team in baseball goes through this.”…
…in other words, ya gotta believe…
…being a that the Mets have an off-day today, i’m going to take the first half of the day off, as well, to finish some work that i am behind on…
…i will return later in the afternoon with a series of rants and raves about the state of this team…
…also, i plan to attend to the binghamton mets game tonight against the new britain rock cats in hopes of talking to some of the team’s minor leaguers…so i need to prep for that voyage…
…thanks for your understanding…
…have a great morning…after a disastrous weekend…
Ken Rosenthal compiled two Inside Dish columns this weekend at The Sporting News…
In the first, Rosenthal notes that the Mets rejected an offer by the Giants to swap Kaz Matsui for Ray Durham, noting that the Mets believe Matsui to be a ‘superior’ defender to Durham…
…interesting, i didn’t realize durham played with out hands…
…sounds like it was probably fonzi for kaz, and when fonzi got hurt, it switched to durham and the mets balked…fair enough…
In his second column, Rosenthal adds that the Mets are reluctant to trade Mike Cameron as long as they are in contention…
…although they’ve sold it otherwise, it is uncanny how much this year feels like last year…
“This is serious,” Cliff Floyd lamented to reporters after yesterday’s loss. “If we think we’re any kind of good team, we can’t play like this.”…
…you know how it goes…you’re never as good as when you’re on a winning streak, and never as bad as when you’re on a losing streak, your true talent is some place in between…
…and ‘in between’ for the mets right now will not win this division, or a wild card…
As the Mets head from Seattle to Philadelphia, Mike Cameron will swing by New York to meet with doctors for an ultrasound to determine how much fluid is in his swollen knee…
Cameron missed his sixth straight game Sunday but is running and taking light batting practice…
“If they can’t drain it, we’ll have to play it by ear, because it’s slow-healing,” Cameron told reporters yesterday…
…if this season isn’t as successful as some hoped it would be, we may look back and point a giant finger at this team not putting guys on the disabled list when they needed to be…the ramifications of waiting, from playing starters at half-strength to the weakening of the bench, are becoming obvious to the naked eye now…
…not good…
