I’m Reading: about Plummer, Frank Cashen and Questions
In honor of today, 09.09.09, Mets by the Numbers looks at every player from the Mets to wear No. 9.
In a post-game recap for Mets Today, Joe Janish discusses Josh Thole’s defense, talks about SNY’s Silent Sixth Inning, and slips in the following, which made me laugh:
“Jerry Manuel mentioned Buddy Bell during the SNY postgame interview while describing Tim Redding’s performance. Then I realized he said “but he battled”, not “Buddy Bell”. I always liked Buddy Bell … he was a solid hitter who hit in the clutch and was an excellent defender at the hot corner. Not much of a manger, though. Ah, I digress.”
The Mets debuted the Plum Room in Citi Field yesterday, dedicated to five-decade Mets employee Jim Plummer, who died last year.

Doc Gooden is now a Senior Vice President of the Newark Bears – for more, read Mike Silva of NY Baseball Digest.
Kerel from On the Black asks, “Have we seen the best of John Maine?”
Mike of Mike’s Mets breaks down the problem, noting, “The Mets have never been able to follow an organizational plan for any length of times since Frank Cashen.”
…if you’re not working with a plan, you’re not working…
…i’ll say it again, for those who some how missed me saying it the last week or so:
The Mets need to determine who they are, what they’re about, and what type of team they want to be, what are their goals, what’s the plan to get there, and then get the best people possible to make it happen.
In a report for SNY.TV, Howard Megdal asks, “Has Mike Pelfrey regressed?”
Lastly, Will from Mets Fans Forever relays a quick exchange with Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News about Tobi Stoner.
