The Mets will look to make it three shutouts in a row against the Cardinals as they take on St. Louis this evening at Citi Field. If successful, it would mark the first time the Cardinals have been held scoreless in three consecutive games since October 1976. Here's the latest news and headlines out of Queens…
- David Wright says he won't talk with the Mets about an extension until the fall because in-season negotiations in 2006 had him thinking about his contract status while on the field, tweets Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.
- Political commentator Bill Maher can add part owner of a professional baseball team to his resume as he recently purchased a minority share of the Mets, writes Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com.
- The Mets will welcome former team captain John Franco into the team's Hall of Fame this evening by wearing black in honor of his 14 seasons with New York, according to the team via Twitter.
Cool.
Never thought I’d see Bill Maher in the headlines of an MLBTR post…
Without wanting to insult the good Mets fans here…
Wilpons wallet could be shrinking from the investmant scandal and maher’s viewership has continued bottoming out each and every month according to the drudge report… Nice pair there…
Drudge….sigh.
One more reason to root against the Mets.
Wilpon makes the McCourts look like rational owners.
MLB could be holding off on approving the Jairo Beras contract until closer to the new July 2 signing date to reduce the possibility some other D.R. youngsters suddenly age a year and become eligible for signing before July 2.
That would mean the Rangers would get Beras and all other D.R. kids would then be stuck with the July 2 parameters ($2.9m pool for signing international talent) and would be too late to be Berassed under the wire.
