Mike Pelfrey has been the quiet MVP on the staff  this season for the Mets. He has learned to settle down and pitch his game. Mike has thrown 2 complete games when the bullpen has needed it. In his last outing he failed to make a bid to go 3 straight after only going 6.2 innings as seen   more...

The Phillies won a wild one late Tuesday night, overcoming a 7 run deficit in one of the greatest games in recent memory, an 8-7 victory of the Mets in 13 innings. This game had it all. An unlikely hero in the bottom of the 9th with two outs in Eric Bruntlett. Continued redemption by Jimmy Rollins.   more...

Yesterday, the Mets blew a 7 run lead, for just the fourth time in franchise history, to allow the Philadelphia Phillies to   more...

Not only are the Mets players a bunch of poor-sport showboats (I think I caught Jose Reyes makin' it rain after a Mike Pelfrey sacrifice bunt last week) their post-game analysts are equally intolerable.

Nationally televised Wednesday night game on ESPN and we've got our douchebags on parade. Brett Myers and Ryan Howard stole the show last night. Yes, Chipper Jones may have more hits than at bats (is that possible?) and Tom Glavine won his 900th game, but Myers and Howard captivated the audience   more...

I can almost understand when Sports Center promotes a Disney movie like "The Gameplan". It makes synergistic sense for the company and it's even somewhat Sports related. I can also understand when ESPN uses new music for intros and outros, ala 3 Doors Down and the MNF bumper music. They need   more...
