Upcoming Series: Philadelphia Phillies Pitchers
by: Alex Nelson on Jul 3, 2009 7:00 AM | Filed under: Articles

Well, I took a little break from the Mets while they were stinking up the joint, and, well, they might not be finished yet. But for better or for worse, I’m back with another Upcoming Series. Next up, the Mets…

Minor League Checkup 2: Cruise Control

Taking three games from the Cards had me feeling pretty good, but going 9-18 for the month left me not wanting to write about this current team. Thus, I’m sticking with the minors this week. Last week, I discussed prospects…

Buy-Low Trade Possibilities

Taking part in talk radio style trade proposals (“let’s trade Evans and Kunz for Cliff Lee”) is generally a pointless endeavor. However, given the current state of the Mets, non-depressing discussion topics are scarce. There’s only so many ways to say…

Minor League Checkup

Now that minor league all star games are underway, I thought it would be a good time to see how our top prospects are doing. In order to organize this minor league checkup, I’ve decided to use Toby Hyde’s (Mets…

Today’s finale will feature two aces: Chris Carpenter (5-1, 1.53) and Johan Santana (8-5, 3.22).

In today’s game, Brad Thompson (2-2, 3.89) takes on Fernando Nieve (2-0, 1.84).

Game 3: Brad Thompson, RHP

What’s the Story? After posting ERAs in the bullpen of 2.95 and 3.34 in 2005 and 2006, Thompson has struggled since, posting a 4.71 ERA…

Upcoming Series: St. Louis Cardinals Pitchers, Part 1
by: Alex Nelson on Jun 22, 2009 8:20 AM | Filed under: Articles

With the Mets’ failure yesterday, they’ve now lost every series in June except one. Of their three remaining series this month, one comes against a first-place team, and the other two against second-place teams with better records than the Mets….

Your 2009 Philadelphia Phillies

The first Mets team that I really obsessed over—meaning, literally watched every inning and spent at least an hour each day thinking about—was the 2002 Mo Vaughn/Roberto Alomar Mets. I loved the Mets before the 2002 season and watched just…

Upcoming Series: Baltimore Orioles Pitchers
by: Alex Nelson on Jun 16, 2009 8:48 AM | Filed under: Articles

After a brief hiatus, I’m back with another Upcoming Series despite wanting nothing to do with the Mets right now. Maybe the Mets are reliant on my scouting reports for info. Must be cheaper than an advanced scout, after all….

Just wanted to give you all a full recap of the Mets’ Day 1 activities.

With their first pick, a second rounder and the number 72 overall, the Mets took Long Island high school lefty Steve Matz. Matz stands at six-foot-four,…
