Where They Are Now: Casey Fossum
Remember Casey Fossum? It was a while back, I know, but try. Here’s a reminder. Anywho, as you may also remember, Fossum was DFA’d to make room for Ken Takahashi.

Mets Game 3: Loss to Reds
So much for going 162-0 … but at least the Mets won the series. It was not a good day for Oliver Perez, and he certainly was most to blame for the loss — but if you read on you’ll find out that Ramon Castro could have prevented the four-run fifth.
Wild Mets Predictions
How many triples will Jose Reyes? How many Putz jerseys will be sold? Who is the tortoise and who is the hare? What will Gary Sheffield’s impact be? What does Bobby Seay have to do with anything? Read on to see Joe’s wild and wacky Mets predictions.
Mets ST Game 9
A few notes … J.J. Putz Putz, of course, did not play for the Mets but rather for Team USA in the WBC. Putz was called on to close out a 6-5 ballgame against Canada, and notched his first save in a nail-biter of a ninth inning. The good news for Mets fans is that [...]
