Omar Minaya had a list and may have checked it twice, but most of the stores he shopped in didn’t carry what he was looking for. Regardless, he couldn’t let the kids – or in this case, the season ticket holders sitting on renewals and potential new orders – be disappointed during the holiday season. [...]

Last year out in Sin City, the Mets knew what they wanted and in old Las Vegas style, they lined up the closers like a cattle call for showgirls.
But this year is different, with so many holes to fill, so the Mets, the field is wide open for the Amazin’s in Indianapolis, just like the [...]

The Mets interest in Chone Figgins is nothing new. In fact, after the season ended a little of a month ago, the club targeted the speedy leadoff man as one of their targets during this offseason.
If they can nab the 31 year-old, it would be a real step in the right direction for the Mets. [...]

It’s hard to believe it’s been 40 years this past Friday since Davey Johnson’s fly ball went softly into Cleon Jones’s glove in left field.
And a lot has changed. Shea Stadium is now gone and the Mets welcomed in Citi Field by playing like the teams that opened the Polo Grounds and the 1964 version [...]

FLUSHING, NY – Maybe the Mets should let Bobby Parnell only pitch to open a homestand, because since becoming a starter, he’s allowed no runs in 13 innings when he opened up Citi Field, but 24 runs in his other 15 innings.
Although Parnell says it’s “over thinking” there may be more to it. This [...]

It’s September. The pennant races are officially pennant races. The whole, “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon” thing can be thrown out like Prince Fielder trying to steal second base because, yes, it’s a sprint.
This isn’t just a sprint of teams trying to make the final eight. It’s also a sprint of September call-ups, [...]

It looks like Billy Wagner will be a Met for the rest of the season. According to published reports, the erstwhile Mets closer invoked his no-trade clause, blocking any deal to the Boston Red Sox and nullifying the waiver claim.
The Mets only choice is to pull him back, keeping Wagner for the rest of the [...]

For all lore of old Yankee Stadium, you have to start to believe that Shea was the magical field in the city. After all, the big ball-yard was host to two of baseball’s great miracles and most memorable World Series. One more and the Catholic Church would have looked into canonizing the place.
