Official word has come down that El Duque will be scratched not only from his start, but from the NLDS roster altogether due to a tear in his claf. He is questionable for the NLCS, if the Mets get past the Dodgers. John Maine will start game one.Personally, I have confidence in Maine. The   more...

The Mets have re-signed Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez to a 2-year, $11 million deal. At first this was being reported as $6 million over 2 years, not per. It's a bit steep, but this is a franchise that's approaching Yankee-levels of revenue, so it's hardly a budget buster. Last year for the Mets   more...

It's been about a week now since the Adam Wainright curveball to Carlos Beltran ended the Mets season and I have to admit, I'm still not over it.
