Link: Brandon Nimmo

I have to confess that I almost never find feature stories written on draft picks worthwhile reads. They're usually formulaic and superficial. That said, Andy McCullough's long feature on Mets' top pick Brandon Nimmo in The Star-Ledger is very much the exception to the rule. It is very much worth...

Road Trip

Sorry I didn't post earlier today. I went to New York City to be interviewed by the Mets Weekly people. It was an interesting and somewhat humbling experience. Funny, but when someone sticks a camera in your face your I.Q. can drop a few points really quick. In any case,...

The Jewels of the System

It's still fairly quiet on the hot stove front, but there were a couple of good articles today on some kids who may well be the future of this franchise. In the Bergen Record, Steve Popper discusses the choices the Mets will have to make with Lastings Milledge. Lastings is...

Tragic News about Former Met Cory Lidle

I had an exchange of emails earlier today with "Tom", who appreciated what I had to say about enjoying the playoffs. As Tom wisely pointed out, "... too often we view these games as life and death...and it's crazy...". Although this exchange had nothing to do with the sad news...

The Year of the Calf

I'm not sure who's responsible for all these calf injuries to Mets pitchers, but someone's head is going to have to roll here. After Pedro had problems with both calves -- and, incidentally, that right shoulder thing, also -- now El Duque is questionable for tomorrow's start after injuring his...

Perez on the Playoff Roster?

I was watching a little of the Marlins-Phillies game this afternoon and thinking ahead to the playoffs. One thing that has intrigued me somewhat is that whenever he talks about the pitchers on his playoff roster, Willie Randolph keeps bringing up the name of Oliver Perez.

Oh, By The Way...
