One Game, One Injury (Not Serious!), One Win
  • By eteichman
  • March 2nd, 2010

The Mets played their first game today, and they already have an injured player (but its not that serious, just a comebacker off the shin). Now that’s out of the way, lets talk about the game.

There was a lot to be happy about today as the Mets younger players had some good performances in the Mets 4-2 Win over the Braves.

Mainly players like Ike Davis (2-3, R, 2B) impressed with his hitting (with Feliciano 2-2, RBI, BB, and Tejeda).

R Adams also hit the first homer for the Mets this Spring, as he knocked a bomb out of the stadium.

Pitching wise, Figueora, Livingston, and Igarashi all had good outings today.

Nelson today got into a jam in the second inning, but he was able to get of it...

The First Base Open Has Begun

A surprisingly open position this Spring is firstbase.

Its surprising because even though the Mets were toying with the thought of bringing in a new 1B this offseason, until Jacobs signed the position looked to be Murphy's.

Although Murphy (or a platoon of Murphy and Tatis) seem to lead, there is some healthy competition with Jacobs and longshot for this season, Ike Davis. Kernan of the Post reports that according to Minaya, Davis could be the star of camp, actually getting ahead of Murphy for this upcoming season.

Now my personal feelings about that is NO because of rushing prospects.

Davis is 23, and while that isn't super young, lets not rush this.

This organization does a lot of rushing, lets see how things go and maybe he could be a...

The Importance of Swagger

Several Mets made key statements over the last week that shows swagger, confidence, a bit of arrogance and optimism.

Players like David Wright and Johan Santana were talking about winning the division, the pennant, and the World Series.

Its the time when hope really starts and the light at the end of the tunnel of the offseason starts to materialize. There has been some criticism of the Mets.

Before I get into how swagger leads to leaders leads to championships, I want to comment on the link posted here.

This is ridiculous and is a clear example of the mainstream media picking on the Mets.

There should be no teams out there in the land of baseball not talking about the World Series.

The authors of that article from ESPN feel...

The Mets Must Be the Awkward Kid at the Dance (Moves They Must Make)
  • By eteichman

The Mets must be the awkward kid at the dance. That's the only explanation I can think of right now to explain their actions. They have been linked to Sheets, Lackey, Garland, Pinero, Smoltz, Washburn and others. Out of that group Smoltz and Washburn are left. The Mets keep talking about maybe going after pitcher and improving the rotation. And then they end up being all talk or right before they go in to maybe make a move another team picks that pitcher up. For the Mets right now, it felt like that they decided to splash in the water of Sheets and not make a serious move so they wouldn't have to deal with the difficult decision of going with someone that has an upside. I think at this point, they Mets...

Hello Mets Fans!

Hey there! My name is Elliot Teichman and I am happy to be here and happy (believe it or not) to be a Mets fan. Here’s just a bit about me. I was born in NJ but grew up in Baltimore. Luckily for me, my entire family going all the way back have been National League fans of New York Teams (my Dad’s side flying the blue of the Dodgers and my Mom’s side representing the Black and Orange of the Giants) so when the Mets came around it was a natural decision to root for them, and when I came around it was a natural decision to indoctrinate me. You may have read my writing before. I am the blogger over at 213 Miles From Shea and I also do contributing...

The Case For Dan Murphy
  • By eteichman
  • February 22nd, 2010

Over the past few weeks I have been literally shocked by the amount of criticism that Dan Murphy has received. I am a big believer in Murphy and I really think/know that he cannot be a bench player next year. As a team we always talk about nuturing players and getting them ready. This guy is ready. He just needs a little more time. Why? Well look at his statistics over the season. In the second half of the season, he started to hit a lot better (hitting .285 in last 70 or so games) and the big change was Howard Johnson sat him down and talked to him about how he needed to make adjustments to his routine. That being a workhorse is not the only way to be a...
