nypost - While the Mets can certainly live minus Beltran as they play out the schedule, they had hoped he would end the year healthy. Now, those good vibes have dissipated somewhat. "To me the main thing is I don't want to feel pain in my knee," Beltran said. "I'm more concerned about that than wearing the brace." If there is a silver lining, Beltran indicated the MRI showed improvement in the bone bruise that has been at the root of his knee problems. Nevertheless, Beltran wore a brace on the knee this season and has received no indication that will change in 2011.

I can go on and on about the Manager that lost his team and the absence of power that GM Omar Minaya is omitted from the not so successful ownership of the Wilpons. Changes are coming and they will come fast and with full force. The pressure from the fans this off-season will be enormous. Roster changes, a new manager and GM will start the new regime for the 2011 season and beyond. Hopefully they will have much more success stability and maintain a winning culture for years to come
9-28-10 from goldstein - There’s something there, and a lot of people think he would have went higher in the draft had he gotten more exposure. He’s sitting in the low 90s already and flashing considerably more at times, and the curve and change both show potential. Combine that with the ability to throw strikes and he’s an outstanding sleeper.

espn - "I feel like I've learned that I can contribute in a way that may have superseded what I even thought I could," Dickey said. "I felt like I was capable of really being consistent and doing well. I feel like I can do more, like this doesn't have to be the anomaly. I feel like this can be what I have to offer consistently over the next five to six years of my career." Dickey said he embraced pitching in New York, and sensed the fans reciprocated by embracing him. "People in the stands can probably relate," Dickey said. "They probably think they can get out there and throw 75 mph and get people out. There is a connection there. They probably can relate to me. ... It's hard to throw Bobby Parnell's 102 mph, but everybody can throw a knuckleball."
