Nov 13th, 2009 | By Joe Pietaro | Category: Joe Pietaro, New York Mets, Top Story

Excuses are like ‘you-know-what’s.’ Everyone has one and they all stink. When it comes to the New York Mets, there is so much of that going on that it’s almost become comical if it weren’t so sad.

This isn’t just a sprint of teams trying to make the final eight.  It’s also a sprint of September call-ups, [...]

FLUSHING, NY – When Omar Minaya strolled over to former Met Darryl Strawberry for a chat before the Mets took on the Nationals, you had to wonder if he was there to exchange pleasantries or maybe to sign the 46 year-old to a contract.
The Mets are dropping like flies. Today Jose Reyes and Ryan Church [...]
