Here goes: 1. Brett Myers will not be back with the team. According to this report in the Philadelphia Inquirer , the never-dull righty will not be offered a contract. There could be many reasons for this -- that the Phillies have doubts about his health, his maturity, clubhouse chemistry, or his ability to pitch consistently. This would have been more of a surprise had Myers not had a dust up with...

The NY Post has the full list of possible free agents this offseason . The Mets have only one free agent they may have concerns about losing, and that's Delgado. Really, all decisions about 2010 flow from Delgado - they can try to stick with the hand they have and keep him, bring in another veteran for at least a stopgap, or just go younger. The first base options aren't superstars, but Adam LaRoche...

The World Series begins tonight, and yeah, I’ve noticed who the Game 1 starting pitchers are: I was half-heartedly following the Dodgers at the outset of baseball’s postseason, on account of the fact that their roster is lousy with ex-Indians: Jim Thome, Ronnie Belliard, Casey Blake and Manny Ramirez all helped L.A. make it to the [...]

I’ve written on previous blogs as well as this one, that I believe the crowd reaction in Cleveland to Jim Thome is a travesty to say the least. I will fully admit, I am in the tank for the big man. The Thomenator is my all time favorite Indian, a class act both on and [...]

I don't really enjoy this Steve Phillips story. My schadenfreude doesn't really extend to innocent wives and children. I can at least be grateful in the fact that he will not be on television for a little while. Meet the Mets So, Steve Phillips had an affair . Again. Let's bring this back to him hating on Carlos Beltran . Howard Megdal joins the fun. You remember that profit that the Mets might have...
