During the ninth inning of last night’s game against the Phillies, Carlos Beltran made a throw to third base in attempt to nail Eric Bruntlett going from first to third on a single by Pedro Feliz. The ball got away from third baseman David Wright, allowing Bruntlett to score and Feliz to take second base.

A Vast Wasteland
Mets
Written by Mark Healey   
Thursday, 03 July 2008
The New York Mets are trying to reach the postseason.  Based on their record, ability to add payroll and the added pressure to fill their new ballpark next year, one would figure that the next few weeks will be busy for the team's front office. However, according to several baseball sources, the Mets will not be making any major deals.  That news may put a damper on what is usually a frenetic time for readers of this space, but it's reality, I'm told.

Filmmaker Pulls Peanuts

(Editor's Note) - I appear as a contributor in "Playing For Peanuts" and consider John Fitzgerald a good friend.  However, I am in complete agreement with his decision to pull the series from SNY, and have the same questions for SNY as he does.  There is no doubt in my mind that the subject matter (Wally Backman) is the sole reason for the mysterious and illogical decision not to cooperate with Fitzgerald.) and he will be appearing at Mickey Mantle's with me on Friday's (June 27) "LIVE FROM MICKEY MANTLE'S"

A year or so ago, I implored many of my colleagues in the print and digital media to spend some time in the classroom, as I did as a adjunct Professor Of Journalism at Five Towns College in 2006-07.  At the time I explained that in addition to “giving back” to a generation that was going to be severely challenged in this topsy-turvy world of new media, that it would make us all better journalists.  Teaching younger versions of ourselves to become ethical reporters might instill a greater responsibility to have the highest sort of integrity, etc.

Then “J-Rod” comes along.

Still The Worst Team Money Can Buy
Mets
Written by Joe Janish   
Wednesday, 25 June 2008
Sixxteen years ago, Bob Klapisch penned a book called "The Worst Team Money Can Buy: The Collapse of the New York Mets".  Ironically, that title still fits the flippant fumblers in Flushing.  Back then, the team was chided for finishing in fifth, despite the dubious distinction of the highest payroll in baseball ($45M, at the time an exorbitant amount). The team was littered with overpaid, underperforming has-beens in the twilight of their careers (sound familiar?). For example, they had a quiet and moody, media-evading,

Bring Back Bradford
Mets

Monday, 23 June 2008
Regardless of who got Willie Randolph fired – and really, had Willie found a way to reach his bumbling club after the All-Star break last season, he'd still have a job – the focus should now shift as to how the Mets can reach their desired destination this year:  the World Series.
