My fan level is obviously kind of low, seeing how there is not much to be excited about, BUT the pre season optimism has run through me of late to think of the lineup in everybody's prime…jose, louis, DW5, Belt (back on the juice) Francouer, Bay (back on the juice) and some random catcher…its not that bad.

Now obviously we are far removed from these players prime’s except DW5 but still on paper not too bad. And lets just say we get a season out of Maine AND Pelfrey BOTH this year…now your talking!!!!

The sad thing is the Mets aren't going to get Roy Halladay for John Maine and Carlos Delgado. However, the rumor is that Mets actually do have something the Blue Jays may be interested in.

Currently the Blue Jays are dead last in the American League with only 15 saves on the season. Their 58% save conversion percentage is good for third worst in the AL. The rumor is that they are interested in acquiring, preferably young and talented bullpen help.

Carlos Beltran of the New York Mets is probably most famous for his absolute tear of home runs he hit during the 2004 playoffs. He broke Barry Bonds single season post season home run record by clocking 8 long balls. As a side note, I actually take quite a bit of comfort knowing that almost every record Barry has or will set will fall in a few short years. Back on point however, Beltran got hot at the right moment, the Mets trumped the Yanks on their offer, and no one has regretted it since.

Two wins in the past nine games have shoved the NY Mets 5.5 games back of the Marlins in the NL East. After an embarrassing showing against Atlanta last week, a lost series in Colorado, and a dismal start to the series against Florida, the Mets brought the noise with their star southpaw Johan Santana. Santana pitched well enough, and the Mets held on for a 5-3 victory, but there were several interesting notes taken from the game.

The most interesting note was that Carlos Delgado was riding pine. After sucking golf balls through garden hoses for most of his tenure with the Mets, Delgado was finally reprimanded.

Since last year’s collapse the New York Mets have slowly but surely begun do develop into a zoo just like their cross town foes from the Bronx. After this week’s episode by Willie Randolph, some answers may finally be coming in to the light of why this is happening. Randolph playing ‘the race card’ is one of the most unprofessional and absurd things ever heard of.
