Where New York Mets Fans Get Their Fix

New York Mets Podcast #106

The Mets are off to a decent start this season considering the fact that the Mets didn’t make any big acquisitions in the off-season and have had to deal with injuries to key players such as Jason Bay and Angel Pagan. The most we can hope for is that the Mets will stay around .500 and compete for a wild card berth. The Mets will need a cash infusion in order to be able to compete in the future. Some of that cash will likely come from an investor but I expect that the Mets will try to offload Carlos Beltran, Jose Reyes or Johan Santana. Moving one or more of those players will cut salary and hopefully yield multiple quality players.

On a positive note both Jose Reyes and Ike Davis are having good seasons. Even Carlos Beltran is performing better than expected, but that could also make him more valuable trade bait. The Angel Pagan injury is disappointing because I really supported the idea of him being the regular center fielder. The biggest question marks for the Mets involve pitching. The Mets have a bargain basement starting and middle relief corps that can’t compete with the Phillies. One saving grace has been that Frankie Rodriquez has pitched well recently.

New York Mets Podcast #99

Recapping the horrible events of the last two months for the Mets. Ugh!

  • Multiple injuries to key players including Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran and John Maine.
  • Trades! Ramon Castro traded to White Sox upon the return of Brian Schneider. Ryan Church gets moved to Atlanta in exchange for Jeff Francouer.
  • Omar Minaya not making big trades but making waves with the firing of Tony Bernazard and the calling out of NY Daily News writer Adam Rubin.
  • My impressions from my very first visit to Citi Field.

Lots of changes to talk about on this podcast. We welcomed our second daughter into the world right around the time that Willie Randolph was being fired in California. I’ll give my thoughts on the firing of Willie Randolph and what it might mean for the Mets. I also talk about the measures Omar Minaya may need to take if the Mets don’t substantially improve over the next four weeks. Greg from Connecticut calls in and expresses the frustration that many Mets fans have been feeling.
