How the Padres Can Beat the Mets in the Wild Card Round
Well, first things first, Padres fans – we’ve done it before this year. As I’m sure a lot of Friar Nation can recall, the Padres took 2 out of 3 back in July… IN New York, mind you. For a team who is most well known for their failures and insignificance in recent years – […]
If the MLB Season Ended Today:

How Murderers’ Row Shaped Baseball
When Yankee owner Colonel Ruppert’s “Rough Riders,” as some called them in the late 1920s, were not going head to head against their American League competition, they were playing exhibition games in Buffalo, Omaha, Rochester, Columbus, Dayton, Indianapolis… Everyone in the little cities and small towns wanted to catch a glimpse of the Babe, Lou […]

New York Mets best options for a right hand hitting OF/ 1B
If a grade could be given to the New York Mets 2015 off season, I guess it would vary based on one’s vested interest in rooting for the franchise. Outsiders (non- Mets fans) will continue to talk about the Mets projected starting staff, which of course features Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz […]
The greatest mid season acquisition the Mets ever had?
Yoenis Cespedes has performed better than anyone could have imagined since his trade to the New York Mets from the Detroit Tigers. For a better part of the last calendar year or so, talk has been about the Mets need to add a franchise star caliber bat to their lineup. Comparisons were made to the […]
Despite your opinion on @MetsGM, there is no defending his lack of creativity
Judging the performance of any GM looking for his first winning season in his five years at the helm would leave a lot to be desired anywhere. I am not big on the fact that “this is New York,” but I am sure there is some credence to that statement- though I can go without […]
Scott Rice’s story and similarities to two other former MLB players
New York Mets LHP Scott Rice made his major league debut Monday against the San Diego Padres. The 31 year old pitched a scoreless 9th inning, striking out two finishing off the Mets 11-2 victory. Rice had signed a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training and won a job as a […]
Chipper Is an Old Braves Chap
Hey baseball fans! Today, you are about to hear about one of the greatest players in Braves history. He recently retired and is one of the greatest switch-hitting power hitters of all time. I think you can all guess who I’m talking about: Chipper Jones! Jones played his entire 19-year career with the Atlanta Braves from […]
Mets vs. Marlins; pitching preview
By SBRForum.com It has been a second half to forget for the Mets, and although they are out of playoff contention, they can still use the last few games of the season to play young guys, and possibly knock another team out of playoff contention. MLB odds favor the Mets in Game 1 […]
It may be time for Mets to part ways with Josh Thole
The New York Mets production has not been very good this season. Even though a lot of teams have struggled getting offense from their catchers, it has become a concern over whether the future behind the plate looks bright at all for the Mets. Josh Thole, known to be a hitter first, catcher […]
Bet on Phillies reaching the postseason
Sam Donnellon posted an article today proclaiming the Phillies postseason dreams finished. In the article, Sam references the website coolstandings.com, who gives the Phillies a 1 in 1,000 chance of making the playoffs. If that’s what Vegas is offering, TAKE THE DEAL. Sure, that dollar you spend is probably worth less than Monopoly money, but throw down […]
Even the most patient person understands its time for Jason Bay to go
I have among the most patience when it comes to my sports teams. Unlike a lot other NY sports fans, I root for the uniform and want the best for every player on my favorite teams. I look at all the players as human beings and know that nobody wants to lose their edge […]
One of the more underrated disappointments, the Carlos Baerga trade
On this date in 1996, the New York Mets traded 2B Jeff Kent and SS Jose Vizcaino to the Cleveland Indians for All Star 2B Carlos Baerga and SS Alvaro Espinosa. It was the second of three trades the Mets made for All Star 2Bs that did not work out. In 1989, the Mets traded OF […]
With season down the tubes, makes no sense for Mets to make a trade, or does it?
Coming into the season, it seemed like the New York Mets were a step behind a lot of organizations in baseball, particularly in their own division. The Phillies and Marlins were supposed to be among the best in the league (LOL) and the Braves and Nationals were still considered better than the Mets. During the […]
Phillies prospects looking good…for other teams
Ruben Amaro’s tenure with the Phillies has brought some big, big, names to Philadelphia since he took the reigns from Pat Gillick over three years ago. Amaro landed Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, and Hunter Pence in hopes of bringing another championship. Well, that didn’t pan out and the Phillies are now in a […]
Fish make a big splash…in a shallow pool
It makes some sort of ironic sense that the biggest splash of baseball’s offseason signing season so far is made by the Fish. The newly crowned Miami Marlins made a big move in reshaping the image of their franchise by stepping up to the plate and landing shortstop Jose Reyes on Sunday night. The Marlins […]
The Braves Didn’t Know What Hit ‘em
Before we really hit the stretch run, I feel it is important to reflect on what the Phillies have accomplished to take a five game lead on the Atlanta Braves. I was listening to the radio and Scott Franske pointed out just how far the Phillies have come. On July 22 the Phillies were 7 […]
Hot Hitters from Philadelphia, New York and beyond!
With the Division Title and the Wild Card still within reach, the Phillies got a monster week from 1B Ryan Howard last week. He scored 10 times while hitting 5 HRs, knocking in 14 RBIs and hit .382 with an OBP of .432 Unfortunately, second year 3B of the Mets, David Wright also had a […]
