With Bay Now in New York, Beltre is the Answer

By ⋅ April 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

When the New York Mets signed free agent Jason Bay, initially the optimistic Mets fan in me was ecstatic. A true RBI man and a doubles machine was on his way to New York to wear my team’s orange and blue. Even with the great statistics, Bay brought to the Mets something that scared me: [...]

This will hopefully be a weekly list of rants and meaningless predictions that have no validity whatsoever. It’s just designed to be a fun look into the possibility of what may come in the world of Major League Baseball. Enjoy it and feel free to add your own Nostradamus insight each week.

By ⋅ January 8, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

After weeks of speculation, Jason Bay and the New York Mets announced a deal to bring Boston’s Canadian import across state lines.

Jason Bay Reaches Deal with Mets

By ⋅ December 29, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

We all knew Jason Bay was most likely never going to sign with the Red Sox, so the news that he signed elsewhere should not come as a shock to our system. Mike Francesca of WFAN in New York reported earlier today that Jason Bay and the New York Mets have agreed to a four-year [...]

By ⋅ October 29, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

Look, I know it hurts. None of us wanted it to end like this. But, this is the way it is, the way it has to be. It’s over for us. Those are the sentences I once wrote on my ex-girlfriend’s dry-erase board when she was away at work to inform her our relationship was [...]

According to a major league source through the Boston Globe, the Red Sox and Mets may be discussing a deal that would send veteran reliever Billy Wagner to the Sox.

The Roy Halladay Trade Sweepstakes

By ⋅ July 20, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Quite possibly the most season-altering move a team could make would be trading for an ace before the deadline to fulfill a hole in the starting rotation. We saw the benefits of that for Milwaukee last year when they acquired C.C. Sabathia and rode his arm into the playoffs. Well, fortunately for us rumor mill [...]

Pedro Martinez To Sign with Phillies?

By ⋅ July 14, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

Former Sox ace Pedro Martinez will make his long-awaited return to the major leagues as early as Wednesday with the Phillies, assuming he passes his physical. Pedro privately worked out with the Phillies twice last week, and apparently impressed the team enough to begin negotiations. Pedro hasn’t thrown a pitch in the major leagues since [...]

Citi Field: My First Impression

By ⋅ June 8, 2009 ⋅ One comment

After checking out the new stadium in the Bronx I wanted to check out the new home of the New York Mets. Now, my latest chance to see a game at Citi Field was going to be to wait until the Giants came into town and to buy tickets to see Tim Lincecum make the [...]

Sox Slug Out 16 Hits in Win Over Mets

By ⋅ May 24, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Kevin Youkilis hit a deep foul ball (that looked like a home run) in the fifth inning. After the second replay review in as many days, the umpires confirmed the ball was foul. Youkilis then flied out to right, and was obviously fuming as he headed to the dugout. In his next at bat in [...]

Papelbon Blows Save, Game Against Mets

By ⋅ May 24, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Josh Beckett is starting to look like the Sox ace again. After a win against Seattle last time out, Beckett took the hill and was dominant Saturday night. He allowed one unearned run (though he recorded the error) in eight innings. He allowed just five hits and one walk with five strikeouts and was in [...]

Dice-K Returns, Sox Fall to Mets

By ⋅ May 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Daisuke Matsuzaka made his long awaited return to the mound Friday night in his first start since April 14. Dice-K spent more than a month on the DL due to right arm fatigue, which stemmed from his stupid involvment in the World Baseball Classic for Team Japan. Of course, in Dice-K’s return, he gets to [...]
