Mets

  • Omar Minaya was vacationing with his family in Florida on Monday, reacquainting himself with his wife and children after the grind of spring training. Even so, he plans to sneak away now and then to see prospects for the coming amateur draft.

  • Kirk Nieuwenhuis was asked about the ball he hit off the Modell's sign in right field Monday night for his first big league home run, pointed to the top shelf in his locker and smiled. "That's it right there," the center fielder said.
  • (New York Daily News)
  • Among the many sources of optimism during the Mets' three-game winning streak to open the season, the bullpen stood out.
  • (New York Times Blogs)
  • Daniel Murphy admits that he gave away too many at-bats last season. He flailed at too many balls just off the corner instead of letting them pass by. He punched too many weak grounders on tough pitches instead of battling to slap them foul.
  • (Wall Street Journal)
  • Rodriguez walked the first batter of the ninth, melted down trying to field a bunt and then allowed Daniel Murphy's game-winning single, all without recording an out.
  • (Washington Post)
  • NEW YORK – In the on-deck circle, Daniel Murphy said a prayer, hoping it would cleanse the anxiety from his pores. Waiting in the wings of a tight game – ninth inning, score tied, his turn coming – Murphy used prayer to slow the cadence of his heart.

  • NEW YORK - Henry Rodriguez couldnt find the strike zone. Then he missed his target at first base.
  • (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
  • Ike Davis can see the wisdom in receiving a day off about now. The first baseman is still searching or his first hit of the season after going 0-for-4 in the Mets' 4-3 victory over the Nationals last night at Citi Field. Davis is 0-for-15 this season.
  • (New York Post)
  • For the first time in nearly 22 years, the Mets took the field Monday with eight homegrown players in their starting lineup.
  • (CBS Sports)
  • The Mets may start eight homegrown players on Monday night, including Ike Davis, Daniel Murphy and Lucas Duda.
