The Mets made their final cuts today. Bobby Kielty and Elmer Dessens were assigned to Triple-A Buffalo and Fernando Nieve was released. Kielty had a great spring getting 54 at-bats and hitting .296/ .365/ .407. We’ll be seeing him with the big league club at some point this season. Dessens only pitched 3 innings this [...]
WFAN’s Ed Coleman checks in with Joe & Evan to talk about the Mets news from today. Here are the topics:
Oliver Perez‘ nice start last night after being called out by pitching coach Dan Warthen for being out of shape.
The Mets potential for interest in Gary Sheffield. Coleman doesn’t think that the Mets will [...]
Sadly, the Mets have released Jose Valentin as well as Tony Armas, Jr. and Junior Spivey. At 39, Valentin doesn’t have too many options available to him to continue his MLB playing career. He may be able to catch on with a lower-level team looking for a utility man/veteran leader type of player.

Kerel Cooper from On The Black was at the St. Johns- Georgetown game yesterday and took some good video of Citi Field’s first actual game. I can’t wait to go after watching the video. Check it out.
How much fun would it be to have swindler Bernie Madoff’s tickets for a Mets game? Or the whole season? It would be fantastic!
