Forgotten "Glue Guys" of the 60s: Remembering Al Weis, Rod Kanehl, and Jerry Buchek
Al Weis, Rod Kanehl and Jerry Buchek carried the utility-player’s job through every phase of the Mets’ first decade—from expansion-era chaos to an improbable world championship. On October 16, 1969, Al Weis stepped to the plate at Shea Stadium with the Mets trailing Baltimore, 3–2, in the seventh inning of World Series Game 5. Dave McNally threw a pitch that Weis lifted over the left-field wall, tying the game and jolting Shea into bedlam. The Mets went on to win, 5–3, and ca

Assessing the Trade Deadline Carnage
The carnage is complete -- we think -- as Luke Weaver, Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor joined A.J. Minter, Huascar Brazoban, Luke Raley and Freddy Peralta in exiting Flushing for assumedly greener pastures.

Weighing the Peralta Deal: What the Mets Gave Up to Get Him, What They Get Back Now
It's no surprise that the Mets unloaded Freddy Peralta today, sending him to the Tampa Bay Rays for three prospects. Peralta was awful for the Mets, a starter who ran up pitch counts so quickly that he frequently didn't make it into the fifth inning, let alone out of it. Peralta's final Mets stat line is plain ugly: An ERA of 4.99, a run and a quarter greater than his lifetime record, a .788 OPS against, 17 homers and 31 doubles in 22 starts. It's easy to say that this was
