I Don’t Want to Pitch

Well, it appears that Jason Vargas WILL be starting on Tuesday — unless the Mets remember Aaron Sele is still on the roster.

However, the guy they should have brought up was … Read more

Another One Bites the Dust

It wasn’t enough that the Mets lost their third straight game last night — they lost ANOTHER outfielder to injury.
