Mets Rewind: July 19
Here’s what happened on this day in New York Mets history: 1964: New York Mets purchased Bobby Klaus from the Cincinnati Reds. 1988: It was the low point of the regular season for the New York Mets. Ron Darling next got out of the first inning against the Cincinnati Reds, who sent 15 batters to [...]
So Frankie, Cuzzi, and Hank White Walk Into a Bar
And Frankie was so depressed that Blanco and Cuzzi got into a fistfight that he drank for hours ... in fact, he closed down the bar.
Moral of the story: Never let Frankie close a damn thing. Certainly not twice.
Thankfu...
Give It Up For Tom Gorzelanny!
Huge series win for the Cubs! Should’ve been a four-game sweep, but 3-of-4 ain’t bad. After watching Marmol’s meltdown and Soto’s missed hurried tag on Saturday, I figured the Cubs would split the series facing Roy Halladay Sunday night. But who thought Tom Gorzelanny would outduel the Phillies’ ace, who was riding an 18-consecutive scoreless [...]
This is reminding me of 2006
2006 was the year that the Captain went down with a knee injury on the last day before the trading deadline- July 31, 2006. The Red Sox went into a tailspin after that going from 1 game up at the end of that day to 11 games behind at the end of the season.
I don't think anyone counted on the improbability of Varitek going down 3 days after Victor Martinez and 5 days after Dustin Pedroia, (the day after his huge 5/5 game at COL), this year...
AJ Burnett
The New York Yankees’ pitcher 1D10T, AJ Burnett, injured his hands yesterday. How? A hard hit line drive back through the box? He got barreled over in a play where he was covering first? He tripped over the dugout steps? How about none of the above. He threw a temper tantrum in the locker room [...]
Future Shifts from Within
We’re humans. Creatures of comfort bound to act irrationally in a wide open yet unfamiliar digital world. Attention, Stimulation, Information… we’re multitasking and we want more!
July is over. OK, there's two weeks left, but it always feels like it's over at the end of the World Series of Poker. I would like to take this time to combat any feelings of 2010 of being a down year for poker. If you actually followed this WSOP, it's already been a year full of moments of controversy, achievement, surprise and heartache. Now, I shall hit thee with a list. Mind you, this is just from the WSOP. Tom "Durrrrr" Dwan went heads up for a...
Tito?s New Toy
In contrast to some of the disastrous outings we’ve seen from Red Sox’ relievers this season, Michael Bowden’s inning of work in Sunday’s 4-2 loss to the Rangers looked beyond dominant. The guy looked like Trevor Hoffman in his prime. Maybe the team should start playing “Hells Bells” when Bowden comes out of the ‘pen [...]
?Car Survivor? Q&A with Huntsville Stars GM Buck Rogers
Wednesday evening at 7 PM, three men and two women threw out first pitches prior to Huntsville’s game against the Mississippi Braves, then went outside Joe W. Davis Municipal Stadium and entered a car provided by local dealer Jerry Damson. The objective? Remain in the car for as long as possible. Whoever [...]

What Should Be The Next Move?
BY BRYAN ROTHENSTEIN
STACHE WRITER
With the trade deadline looming and Cliff Lee already off the market what or who is left for the Mets?
Names being thrown around are the likes of Dan Haren, Roy Oswalt, Ted Lilly and Jake Westbrook just to name a few.
At this point I don’t know if any of these players are [...]
When the light at the end of the tunnel is Luis Castillo
Apparently, a two-run lead isn't enough for Francisco Rodriguez these days. All three of K-Rod's July saves have come in games in which he entered with a lead of at least three runs. In two of them, K-Rod had leads of four runs - he came into the game with men on base. And in one of those, K-Rod gave up a couple of hits to score two runs and cut the lead in half. The Mets won Sunday in extra innings despite K-Rod's latest meltdown, but any discussion of the Mets figh...
