Joe Janish of Mets Today examines the recent brush up between the Mets Mike Pelfrey and Marlins OF Cody Ross and comes to the conclusion Ross is a ‘madman.’

New York Mets Daily criticizes the Mets for the way they handled the promotion of Jon Niese and wonders if his rough first start will effect his future performance.

Meanwhile, The Eddie Kranepool Society provides more love for Carlos Delgado.

Over at Mets Fever, Ed Ryan says Endy Chavez seems to flourish when his playing time is diminished.

While debating who the National League Cy Young Award winner should be, Jayson Stark of ESPN.com provides an interesting note on Johan Santana‘s season, writing:

“Not sure anyone has noticed this, but he leads the entire sport in quality starts (with 23, one more than Lincecum). He has five blown saves, as many as Lincecum, and five CUS, one fewer than Lincecum. But in overall run support, he and Lincecum are very close. Santana is at 4.87 a game (64th in the big leagues), and Lincecum is at 4.81, right behind him at 68th.”
