The NY Mets pitching staff going into the 2010 season isn't exactly striking fear in the hearts of opponents. Sure, we have the ace, Johan Santana, at the top of the rotation, but after that, we kinda suck.

The NY Mets rumors are swirling though, as Buster Olney from ESPN has indicated that the NY Mets' interest in Ben Sheets may be rising.

Carlos BumTran decided that it was time to get surgery. What an idiot! Does the damn guy own a calendar? Instead of going under the knife the week after the NY Mets season ended - about May of 2009 - Carlos Beltran decides to wait for half of the off-season to pass before calling his doctor.

Now we're going to have one of our best players out for a month at the start of the season. GREAT way to kick off a new 2010 NY Mets season.

Jason Bay has bucked the NY Mets rumors and has passed his physical examination. He'll join Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado and David Wright in the middle of the NY Mets lineup.
