Why is it that Mike Piazza has a tendency to get beaned in the head? It's happened with Clemens, Mota, and Tavarez. It keeps happening. Why?
-
Pedro's gonna kick some ASS!
-
The man's tired and hurting. That's perfectly understandable.

"Mystery Man" Urdaneta was released a couple days ago.

Clemens is blowing up all of a sudden. Carpenter gets it.

Continuing with our in-season Hot Stove discussion... We have twenty-five roster spots. The following are certainly locked up for next year: David Wright 3B Jose Reyes SS Carlos Beltran CF Pedro Martinez SP Kris Benson SP Jae Seo SP Aaron Heilman SP/RP Then there's the players we will more than likely keep: Ramon Castro C Chris Woodward IF Marlon Anderson IF Tom Glavine SP Juan Padilla RP Heath Bell RP Mike Jacobs 1B (he might need a little more minor league seasoning) Tim Hamulack RP Those who are trade bait: Cliff Floyd LF Mike Cameron RF Victor Diaz RF Victor Zambrano SP Kaz Matsui 2B And those who are free agents or gone: Mike Piazza C Jose Offerman 1B Danny Graves RP Braden Looper RP Mike DiFelice C Gerald Williams OF Shingo Takatsu RP Miguel Cairo 2B Doug Mientkiewicz 1B Kaz Ishii SP Steve Trachsel SP Roberto Hernandez RP Dae Sung Koo RP

Now, we haven't had great success with Japanese players, but here's an interesting bit I picked up: Kenji Jojima: a 29-year old catcher for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks wants to play in MLB next season. He has been offered $25M over 3 years to remain in Japan. He speaks no English so a position change may be needed, but he may be the best right-handed hitter in Japan. Dodgers and Mets will likely pursue him. Jojima would become the first Japanese catcher to play in the majors.

Why do we think our hitting sucked? Because the average Mets scoring opportunity goes like this: Batter singles, reaches 1st. Batter sacrifices runner to 2nd, 1 out. Batter walks, runners on 1st and 2nd. Batter lines out, 2 outs. Batter strikes out, 3 outs.

Now that the Mets have buried themselves out of the playoff race, we can start looking ahead to next year. Here's a look at the players whose contracts are up: Miguel Cairo Gerald Williams Mike Piazza Jose Offerman Wil Cordero Roberto Hernandez Mike DiFelice Doug Mientkiewicz has a team option, so he'll likely be let go. Steve Trachsel also has a team option. Tom Glavine has a mutual option. Felix Heredia and Danny Graves have team options. Braden Looper has a team option. Marlon Anderson and Chris Woodward are non-tender candidates, but they'll likely stick around. Edit: DiFelice is also a free agent.

Minnesota's Kyle Lohse went on a rampage on Tuesday, damaging manager Ron Gardenhire's office door with a baseball bat after being pulled from the game.

I want B.J. Ryan. He is INSANELY overpowering. He shuts teams DOWN.
-
We need a catching tandem if we keep Castro - he can't play every day.

Benson 4 Zambrano 1 Beltran 2.5 Matsui 1 Reyes 1 Floyd .5

David Wright, Superstar. Opened in Queens in 2004, now better than ever!
-
We weren't going to beat Carpenter anyway.
-
Q: When's the last time Kaz homered? A: May 17, vs. Cincinnati.
-
Zambrano out of the pen. Priceless.

MFYs lost, 7-4, to Tampa Bay.

Dammit Matsui!!!!!!

Where is everybody? Why am I the only poster on this page?
-
Come on, Manker...
-
That was the luckiest break EVER.
-
We ought to pick up Mr. Taguchi. Then we'd have Jae Seo and So Taguchi on the same team.
-
DAMMIT BENSON!!! Stop letting people on base with nobody out!!!!
