I wouldn’t say that I loved the way this past weekend went. I really wanted to take 3-4 against the Yankees. I figured, at the very worst, we were going to win Ollie’s game and Johan’s game and was hoping to split the doubleheader.
As it turns out… Johan couldn’t get it done.
I thought [...]
Remember two days ago when I said that the media would quickly move on to find a new storyline now that Willie was gone? Turns out, they did — Tom Bernazard.
Gotham Baseball has printed a report showing the intrigue and shenanigans that go on in the Mets front office. The account is kind [...]
I think Omar Minaya took a bold step.
Omar was right. The management cloud over the organization was getting ridiculous. It was hanging over the players, dominating the media, and was a daily distraction. Today Minaya took steps to remove that distraction.
To his peril.
Now that the manager has been removed the daily distraction [...]
Has anyone asked Billy Wagner if he’ll be subsidizing some of Willie Randolph’s remaining salary considering he’s pretty much the sole reason Randolph doesn’t have a job right now?
They are.
I have a fantastic idea. Let’s take a team that’s heating up — won 4 of their last 6, scored 27 runs in their last 4 games, held the best offense in the American League to 11 runs in 3 games, and is very obviously starting to break out of whatever slump they’re [...]
Let me be the nine-millionth blogger to say that this Williewatch crap needs to end right now. The team (and, let’s be honest, the fans) can’t deal with this hanging over their head every day. Willie’s job can’t keep hinging on the outcome of a single series (or a single game) in a [...]
There are many arguments for why the team is lackluster this year. We here at The Stache place the blame almost entirely on the bullpen. We find the bullpen to be responsible for, well, just about all the failings of the team in the last three years. To note:
2006
Game 2: John Maine, [...]
Major League Baseball has decided to stop scheduling the annual Hall of Fame game in Cooperstown — a tradition in Upstate New York dating back to 1940.
“Given the complexities of the Major League schedule and all its inherent challenges, it has become increasingly difficult in recent years to find a suitable date and [...]
Until Billy Wagner breaks out of this slump, I’m going to steal some Farker’s idea and refer to him as “Wagne.”
You should get that without thinking too hard.
Ugh.
Metsblog is reporting (and Jon Heyman via Mike and the Mad Dog is confirming) that Omar is considering a change at manager and coaches which is frustrating to no end. Obviously a team that is falling apart at the seams because no one can hit and the bullpen can’t get the job done should [...]
