Yesterday a friend of mine loaned me a book he found at a tag sale called “The Amazing Mets”.

…i like the shot of David Wright, pledging the flag during the National Anthem, and i can’t help but wonder what he’s thinking about…
…i also think it’s funny that Bobby Parnell is [...]

Over the past couple of weeks, I keep seeing what I believe to be new lows for the Mets.
The latest bottoming out to me was yesterday’s comedy of errors in the sixth inning, when the Mets dropped two fairly routine pop ups on the infield, in foul territory, endured an errant throw from their latest [...]

Clare Lafferty at Mets Fans Forever wonders if Jerry Manuel has lost control of his team, even though she thinks he has done a good job.

Prior to yesterday’s game, Fernando Martinez was seen in the clubhouse limping, and he told the Daily News that he has been bothered by pain in a ligament behind his right knee.

Steve Popper of the Bergen Record is reporting that team doctors have yet to determine when Carlos Beltran will begin working out again.
In addition, Popper reports that John Maine is still resting and has yet to resume throwing and Jose Reyes has not begun to run while he rehabs in Port St. Lucie.

After yesterday’s game, Francisco Rodriguez told reporters that he would be available for tonight’s game against the Phillies, despite matching a career high 46 pitches thrown.
