Rally Killer No More
Apr 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Got this on the wire, that’s because the human rally killer was on my NL only Fantasy team:
Mets designated first baseman Mike Jacobs for assignment.
Signed to a minor league deal this offseason, Jacobs had a golden opportunity to seize the starting first base job in New York after Daniel Murphy went down. Instead, he hit 208/.296/.375 in 24 at-bats, some of which came in the cleanup spot, where Jerry Manuel started him on Opening Day. The guess here is that Ike Davis is about to receive a promotion, leaving Jacobs, likely to clear waivers with the way he has played the last two years, the starting first baseman at Triple-A. His days as a starter in the major leagues appear to be over. Thank god.
Breaking News and Hopefully Happy…..

The NY Daily News is reporting that doctors have cleared Jose Reyes to resume baseball activity. This could be a very good sign for the Mets and hopefully Jose will have no further setbacks. Check out the link here.
Mets From A Vegas Perspective
Mar 22, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The cardinal rule of betting is to bet with your head and not with your heart but it’s not always the easiest advice to follow. Brian posted a blog earlier in spring training about the over/under for the season so I figured I should go investigate at the local casino to find all of the bets people can make on our Metsies. For those of you that visit Vegas (or if you have other means of betting…haha), these bets just may make you rich!
As of 3/17/10:
Mets over/under 83 (Over +145, Under -165)
Odds to win series: 37/1 Rank (18th best odds)
Odds to be NL Champ: 18/1 (10th)
Odds to win NL East: 7/1 (4th)
First team to 80 wins: 18/1 (10th includes field)
Will their be a Subway Series this year? (Yes +1800, No -2500)
Which group will produce champ? (NYY,LAD,MIN, NYM) 7/5, (BOS, LAA, STL, CHC) 2/1, (PHI, COL, TB, DET) 5/2, (CHW,TEX,ATL,ARI) 12/1, FIELD 8/1
Luckily the Mets are not listed for who will lose the most games this year!!!
A few interesting prop bets are: Home Run total 47, RBI 144.5, Wins 20.5, Saves 47.5, Win total team 100.5, Loss total 101.5
Well, if you are a bettor all I can offer you is good luck! As the season goes on I plan to keep track of how much a bettor would be making (or losing) if they were to bet individual games on the Mets. Happy betting!
