Mets Merized Online – The Ultimate Fathers Day Team
I thought I would do something special in honor of Fathers Day and take a look at all those fathers and sons that have played in the Major League’s and see if I could field a decent team. I think I did pretty good, and I was surprised to see how common it really was for fathers and sons to play in a game.

Dom D’s Mets Fan Blog – Exploring The Lack of Trade Options For The Mets
With Carlos Beltran headed for an MRI tomorrow and still no sign of Jose Reyes, Carlos Delgado and Oliver Perez I think now is an appropriate time to discuss trading for someone who could provide some steady offense, especially if Beltran hits the DL. The problem for the Mets is they have very few trade chips to work with. Their top organizational prospect, Fernando Martinez was recently called up and didn’t perform the way they would have liked. While he still has tremendous upside, the lack of success certainly didn’t help his stock.
The Star Ledger – New York Mets pitcher Fernando Nieve will remain in the rotation, Mets manager Jerry Manuel says
Mets manager Jerry Manuel plans to keep Fernando Nieve in the starting rotation, even with injured pitchers John Maine and Oliver Perez scheduled to return in the near future, Manuel said Sunday before the start of the final game of the Mets series with Tampa Bay. Both Maine and Perez will pitch for Single-A Port St. Lucie on Monday. Each will start a game of a doubleheader against Port Charlotte — one game is a resumption of a suspended game earlier this year. But if Nieve continues to pitch well, Maine or Perez (or both) will join the Mets bullpen.
Amazin Avenue - Pedro Feliciano Wants a Vacation
Location: Mets clubhouse, June 21st, 11:00 AM
Situation: Pedro Feliciano sitting in his chair, 20 lbs. of ice on his arm, contemplating how to get some days offThis is ridiculous. I’ve pitched in 5 games in a row now. Some guy in the stands yelled to me that I’m on track to pitch in 96 games this season. I don’t want my arm to fall off, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do? Think Pedro, think.
:::Jerry Manuel walks by:::
Jerry: “Pedro, you will be pitching today.”
Pedro: “But what if it’s a blowout? We’ve got Switzer and Taka-”
Jerry: “You will be pitching today. It is written. See you in the 7th inning.”
