Benje309: Hey Matt…So I’m a die hard Mets fan and my girlfriend is a die hard Yankees fan.  How do you do it?  How can I get excited for her team?  Especially when the Mets are done.  Should I be excited for her or just roll with it?  I’m not changing my team!
Matthew Cerrone: Do [...]

Mike: Has it gotten tougher for you to wake up day after day and continue to devote your days to this site and the Mets?  I realize that this is your livelihood and that there is still a lot of content for the site, but do you feel as though it has become more of [...]

Papoon: I’ve notice that John Ricco has been talking to reporters a lot out on this road trip.  Did Omar not take the trip? If so, this clearly does play into the idea that he is getting phased out.
Matthew Cerrone: Like most GMs, Minaya does not always with the team – this is not exclusive to the [...]

The bad news is, it looks like the Mets will miss the playoffs again… for the third-consecutive season.
The good news is, it gives them an opportunity to begin working on a new plan for the future.
The problem is, I am not sure the Mets have a plan.
The sense I get, from talking to people around, in, and connected to [...]

Last month, I had the chance to speak with Mets Double-A C Josh Thole.
…i watched thole in spring training, and was super impressed with his swing… he hits the ball square, lots of line drives…
Thole is batting .349 with 29 extra base hits and 40 RBI in 81 games for the Double-A B-Mets.
Last season, he [...]

I think it could be a quiet day for the Mets. 
That said, usually, their big moves tend to blindside people, or at least creep up at the last minute.
So, who knows…
Nevertheless, like I said on Twitter this morning, I have two laptops running, one is streaming WFAN, the other is streaming ESPN Radio, AIM is on, I have ESPN [...]

Joland sent in an e-mail asking:

“Are you surprised that you don’t hear any rumors of the Mets looking to make a trade to upgrade some weak areas?  Do you think the nightmare that Omar has created for himself has distracted him from the job at hand?”

I talked to two people who know Omar well, and [...]

The Mets have won four games in a row, they’re three games below .500, and five losses back of the Wild Card with 62 games left.
Frankly, it’s not rocket science: they’re making contact with the bats, running and driving in runs, they’re playing tight defense and pitching well… that’s it… it’s not complicated.
“Even before today, [...]

During yesterday’s press conference to announce the firing of Tony Bernazard, Mets GM Omar Minaya suggested Adam Rubin of the Daily News, who wrote the initial reports about Bernazard, may have had an ulterior motive, or at least a conflict of interest, as he once ‘lobbied’ the team for a job in the their player development department, i.e., the department [...]

The way I see it, if the Mets want to pull off a miracle and win the Wild Card, they need to go roughly 45–20 during these final 65 games of the season.
The Mets begin a 10–game homestand tonight.
The first series will be four games against the Rockies, who lead the Mets by 7.5 games for the Wild [...]
