Fan backs Santana’s bold claim
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Editorial, MLB,
I wrote an opinion story a few days ago about how Mets pitcher Johan Santana blatantly told the media that he was the best pitcher in his division and how that was wrong. A reader left a comment calling me an idiot saying I didn’t know anything about Santana and that he’s the highest paid in his division, as if that warrants him calling himself the best. The reader then said that Santana was asked a stupid question to begin with. Regardless of the ignorance of the commenter’s words, I began wondering if there was, in fact, any merit to his opinions. There aren’t.

Bay moving to New York, but not the good New York
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Editorial, MLB,
It seems as if the New York Mets have certainly lucked out. After holding out against the Red Sox for the last half year, Jason Bay has signed with the Mets. This deal is hopefully what will be the first in what the Mets want to be a series of moves to improve their on-field product. The Mets had what appears to be the best offer on the table monitarily, and Bay will be heading to New York with a four-year, $66-million contract in his back pocket.

Dotel tests free agency… again
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Editorial, Front Office, MLB,
Happy birthday to Octavio Dotel. He turns 35 years old today, and is now in a position to earn himself a very satisfying birthday present. After having spent the last two years with the Chicago White Sox, he is now temporarily without a team name on his jersey. Dotel, a right-handed reliever, has filed for free agency and will now soak in the offers from other clubs – and he will get his fair share of offers.

Mets Take First Game of Subway Series
Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, MLB, News,
Thanks to a terrific pitching performance from Oliver Perez and a clutch two run jack from Endy Chavez the New York Mets took the first of three games from the New York Yankees. Despite pitching well, the tough luck loser is Andy Petitte and the winner is Oliver Perez. Petitte is now 2-3, and Perez is now 5-3. Also with a single in the third inning Perez now has seven hits for the season, tying him for the Major League lead hits for a pitcher with Livan Hernandez.

Sosa Successful In 07 Debut
Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, MLB, News,
Jorge Sosa was very impressive on Saturday. He may have been impressive enough to hang around in the Majors. Making his season debut with the New York Mets, Sosa went 6.1 innings, gave up two runs on just four hits, and struck out three. Another important factor to his victory last night were his two walks. Sosa has the stuff to succeed in the majors, but in Spring Training he had severe control issues. The Mets would go on to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2, thanks in part to a home run from Shawn Green in the 2nd inning. Green had three RBI’s on the night.

Rollins Eats Words In Mets Home Opener
Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, Editorial, MLB, News,
The 56,227 fans in attendance Monday at the New York Mets home opener feasted on Jimmy Rollins for his comment that the Philadelphia Phillies were the “team to beat.” Despite such strong words Rollins went 0-3 in four at-bats, and committed a crucial error in the eighth inning to keep the bases loaded with just one out. Loud chants of “Jimmy Rollins!” and heavy booing were frequent whether he was at the plate or in the field. A seven run eighth inning would lead to a decisive 11-5 Mets victory.

Is Oliver Perez Back? Ask The Braves…
Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Kudos, MLB, News,
Picking up where he left off in the 2006 playoffs, Oliver Perez started off his 2007 season shutting down the Atlanta Braves. Of course, 11 runs of support from the Mets offense doesn’t hurt. Perez went seven strong innings, giving up five hits, zero walks, and striking out six. He also didn’t do too badly at the dish, scoring two runs with a base hit.
