It's a bit of fun, especially when the likes of Hamilton gets on a roll.

Berkman is the right fielder?, hold on , Berkman is having an All-Star year?

Come on the NL......doesn't exactly roll of the tongue but there you go. tonight, tomorrow night?

the line that is being trotted out again this past week is form his high school coach , on thoughts that jeter would go to Michigan after being drafted by the MFY's " He's not going to Michigan, he's going to Cooperstown". yeah right , you said that.

Looking at Belran's contract I see this club agreed to not offer arbitration after 2011 season that has an impact in the thought process I would think? http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/2004/12/new-york-mets.html

There are plenty of guys who could bring real value. I'd deal Pagan and Dickey too. Yes, because watching Jason Pridie play CF all next year, that'll be fun. I'm not sure there's any real net value in trading away parts we need, particularly reasonably affordable ones, for prospects. like a right fielder, I'd just as soon sign Beltran at an affordable rate for a few more seasons.

Ian O'Connor is just horrible, no standards at all.

Mets prospect Harvey saves Futures Game

Looking great Mike Ex-Met Piazza taking it easy in retirement Originally published: July 11, 2011 12:07 AM Updated: July 11, 2011 12:34 AM By KEN DAVIDOFF ken.davidoff@newsday.com PHOENIX -- First of all . . . no, Mike Piazza said, he isn't following the Roger Clemens trial. "I really don't want to say anything on that," the beloved former Met and Clemens nemesis told Newsday, smiling. "I just really want to enjoy the day. It's about the kids today." It's not about the kids every day for Piazza, who only occasionally forays back into the game that allows him to spend much of his time traveling with his family and playing golf. But the 42-year-old enjoys his trips back into the spotlight. Sunday, wearing a Mets cap, he managed the U.S. Team to a 6-4 victory over the World Team in the annual Futures Game at Chase Field. "I love the game, and I'd love to still be involved somehow. I just think I don't want to work every day, if that makes any sense," Piazza said. "I've been discussing options with people, nothing real concrete. I'm just out there floating a little bit." He didn't have to do much Sunday. Having landed the gig just a few days earlier, he said -- he already was coming here to participate in the Celebrity Softball Game -- Piazza's responsibilities included pregame and postgame interviews, waving at the crowd when his name was announced and offering pointers to players. His real work comes with Team Italy, which he serves as batting coach. He worked with the team during spring training, and he'll travel to Panama in late September for the World Baseball Championship. "That's been so much fun for me," he said. Most of his time, however, is spent at his Miami Beach home with his wife and two daughters. He's become a soccer nut, watching it on television and even playing it every now and then. He also continues to work on his autobiography. For one day, however, Piazza was back, sort of, to his old lifestyle: reporting to work at a big-league ballpark. Playing, even, if celebrity softball counts. Said Piazza, "It's like I'm back in the saddle again."

No pressure on young Marte with that write up.

Izzy asked Alderson not to trade him......good luck with that.

I agree with what's being said , nice team but not making the playoffs....still, what does a GM do here, I think most Mets fan at the least find that this is a team worth going to see, Alderson trades away the guts of it and the new look team loses ten in a row or ten of twelve the place will be very dead. Are those things factors for him or not?

Yes on both , will easily root for the Pirates ...... who owns the Pirates?, whoever it is they deserve some credit for sticking with Neal Huntington.

Was hoping to see" I'm chuffed" because I am you know. I'll settle for enthused. Seriously though , if the Mets were ten under who'd be surprised?, one characteristic they seem to have is much overused cliche of never quitting and keep fighting , this Mets team has that, a fun bunch to root for.

Rodriguez has switched agents and is now with Boras. Rubin via Mets.com

Not turning double plays will kill you in the end.

The only thing he didn't do it seems was hit for the cycle.....fuck him and all associated with him.

Ruin reports that for a fourth straight day Hairston is working at first base.

Seriously , how is that lineup ten games over .500?

Gay Rod with a torn meniscus, surgery decision to come today, he'll be out a onth and more or he might " fight through it" like a true yankee.

nice win....damn

Get yer asses over here for some great tunes while watching the game http://turntable.fm/cranepool

Soupcan took the pacific coast highway to the game....nice....
