Robinson Can-do-No-mo

In 2008 Robinson Cano looked trade able. In 2010 Robinson Cano has looked like the best player on The New York Yankees and the last person to be traded.

Cano is hitting .387 with 9 home runs and 21 RBI's with 36 hits and 23 runs scored. He has been Mr. All Around and seemingly the most scariest batter in a Yankee line up which has Alex Rodriguez, Mark Texieria, and Derek Jeter.

If Cano finishes the year this strong at the end of the year I'm willing to name him the A.L. MVP without a doubt.

From Hot to Flop

After an unbelievable 9-1 home stand that took The New York Mets from the bottom of the N.L. East Division to the top in a week and a half The Mets went into Philadelphia and got run out of town.

After a great opening series win where Johnathan Niese earned his first victory of the year, The Mets defeated The Phillies 9-1 behind home runs by Jeff Franceour, David Wright and two by Rod Barajas.

The second game featured Mike Pelfrey, the MLB Leader in ERA (o.69) vs the best pitcher in the game today Roy Halladay. After 3 innings of solid outings by both pitchers, Pelfrey would give up 6 runs in the bottom of the fourth and Halladay would go on to throw a complete game in which the Phillies won 10-0.

In the rubber match between the teams The Mets sent out Johan Santana and the Phillies sent out Jamie Moyer. David Wright would put the Mets up 3-0 with a home run but the Phillies would score 2 runs one of which came off the bat of Ryan Howard in the bottom of the first. The Mets would go up 5-2 at one point but then came the fourth inning and Santana looked like Pelfrey. He gave up 8 runs in the inning and The Mets would go on to lose 11-5.

Mets head off to Cincinnati to face the Reds and look to get hot once more. After a week where they dominated series and one of which they swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in less then 24 hours The Mets would return to same old form. Can they pick it up or was that the highlight of the season for Mets fans.

Daniel Murphy all but set to return...but to the Minors?

With the new found star at first base, Ike Davis, The New York Mets have to make a decision on what to do with Daniel Murphy. Murphy who started last year in left field but then moved to first base after ex-Met Carlos Delgado was injured. Murphy was expected to be The Mets everyday first basemen this season but after a spring training injury and the emergence of Davis it looks like their is no spot for Murphy.

...Or is there?

Couple of reports have been The Mets could send him down to the minors for a month to get his swing back then be brought up to pinch hit and come off the bench to fill in during day games in left field or first base. Other reports have been The Mets could try and have him work on his second base skills and bring him up next year to play second base at the major league level.

Nothing is for certain on those scenarios but what is for sure is that Murphy has lost his job at first.

Mets on Fire

After winning their first series of the season against The Chicago Cubs, The New York Mets have swept the Braves to win their second straight series and defeated The Los Angeles Dodgers twice on Monday during their double header, due to the rain out on Sunday night, which gave them their third straight series win. They have moved Jose Reyes to the third spot in the order and so far it seems to be working just fine.

The Mets have won 6 of their last 7 and look to get their second sweep in a row and of the season today at 1pm.

Ike Davis the young phenom first baseman has yet to let the Mets fans down hitting .333 on 27 at bats with 1 home run and 5 RBI's. It looks as if the Mets have found their 1st basemen of the future.

Revis, Cromartie and...Wilson

Last night The New York Jets drafted Corner Back Kyle Wilson out of Boise State with the 29th pick in the first round of The 2010 NFL Draft.

Wilson was considered by most NFL Draft Analyst as one of the top Corners in this draft and some went out to say he was the closest thing to now teammate Darrelle Revis.

On Kyle, Jets Coach Rex Ryan said that he will be the starting nickelback and will compete for the job of primary punt returner.

Wilson said he felt right at home and he couldn't have dreamed it any better. He really couldn't have. Wilson will becoming to play for the best defensive mind in the game in Coach Ryan and for the best defense (on paper) in the NFL.
