Heads-or-Tails Perez was on display this afternoon at Shea. For five innings he was the "Good Ollie." Then came the sixth.

Honestly, I'm so glad I was off so I didn't have deal with that nonsense. I'm tired of watching him. The one good start isn't worth it for the three that stink. Willie Randolph said [...]

Here's wishing all you moms out there a Happy Mothers Day. Also, to all you guys out there, call her before first pitch.

My mom was a Little League mom. She drove me to all my games. Watched all mine and my brother's, too. I remember my first home run in Little League. I was rounding [...]

 Let's play two … and let's stay all day to do it. A day-nighter today at Shea with Cincinnati. You could drive to Cincinnati in the time it takes to play the games today. Probably with time to spare.

We have Johan Santana and Mike Pelfrey pitching for the Mets, and the vultures in full swoop [...]

If you had to choose between Angel Pagan and Endy Chavez, who would you take and why?

Welcome back to Mets Chat Room. Tonight the Reds are in town. Mike Pelfrey tries to get it together after three straight bad starts. I like Pelfrey, I really do.

Now, about the issue of my favorite team. Some of you think I hate the Mets and love the Yankees, which couldn't be further from the [...]

"Raindrops keep falling on my Head."

"Singing in the rain."

"Rain (Beatles)"

Any others?

You should have time to think of some because it's pouring. The tarp is on the field. They still want to play, but don't bet on it starting on time.

Pedro Martinez threw 60 pitches in a bullpen session at PSL, and that included facing hitters. The Mets said he's not ready for a simulated game.

Said Omar Minaya: "We're very encouraged by the progress that's being made."

I've heard this before. I'll be encouraged when he's pitching in real games … and getting people out.

We've talked about booing a lot lately on this blog. If they play, and stink tonight, there will be more.

Manager Willie Randolph said he believes the crowds at Shea have had a rough time getting past last season's collapse.

"When we start to play well, then you'll see a change," Randolph said. "For me, as far [...]

NOTES: This is the first time since 1995 Delgado has hit as low as seventh in the batting order. … Back-up catcher Ramon Castro was activated from the disabled list and Raul Casanova was designated [...]

I used to be able to fly on the red-eye, but I found I was so tired that I slept most of the day and couldn't sleep at night. Then I was up all night and basically killed the next couple of days. Getting ready to board for home. Will get back late, but should [...]

When you win two of three against the best team in the majors and play to avoid being swept on the final day, it makes for a disappointing trip. That's the position the Mets find themselves in today.

John Maine seeks his first win over the Dodgers this afternoon. Carlos Beltran, who didn't start last night [...]

Who thinks of starting a game at noon? The clubhouse was open at 8:30 this morning (local), but nearly two hours later there's hardly anybody here.

SportsCenter is on. Scott Schoeneweis is doing a crossword puzzle. Carlos Beltran just walked in and it looks like he still has the flu. John Maine is listening to some [...]

We all know Nelson Figueroa is one of the better Mets' stories of the year. A feel good story. Who doesn't like rooting for the underdog?

However, the simple fact Figueroa is in the rotation means the Mets' rotation is not where they hoped it would be. Figueroa will go against Hiroki Kuroda tonight in LA.
