Reyes Returns; Buchholz to DL
The good news is, Jose Reyes is back! (Possibly for a limited engagement, but still.) He’ll be active Thursday. The bad news is, Taylor Buchholz, arguably the team’s best non-K-Rod reliever, is on the DL with a fatigued shoulder.
The View From Your Dog
Alert friend of the blog Jane Sherwood took this picture of a dog decked out in Mets attire. Clearly, this is a responsible dog- note that it is in charge of a stuffed monkey. Jane did not find out if the dog thought the Mets should be buyers or sellers… Read More →

Pelfrey: What We Learned
For the most part, what we learned is that my post here earlier this week was prescient, in the sense that I could predict the future by seeing what happened repeatedly in the past. But a couple of things jumped out at me, worth pointing out. One is that by… Read More →
Beato to DL: O’Connor Promoted
Some disappointing news: RHP Pedro Beato, who pitched extremely well all season, has been placed on the fifteen-day DL with a sore elbow. LHP Mike O’Connor takes his place on the roster. This reconfigures the bullpen a bit. Beato occupied the role of third-most-trusted reliever, behind Francisco Rodriguez and Jason… Read More →

The Last Time Terry Collins Won
Considering how long it felt since the last time the Mets won a game-the penultimate game of the 2010 season, for those keeping score at home- one can only imagine how the purgatory between victories felt to Terry Collins. The last time he won as a manager was August 23,... Read More →
