One thing about this guy is that he is for real. What the Mets should do is put him in the starting rotation for good and trade Jeff D'Amico.

Mike has some good things going for him next season, the most pronounced being that he is a southpaw. I think it's mere coincidence that all three of his wins were against the Marlins. He had some pretty decent outings against other clubs, and the Mets did win two of the games where he earned a no-decision. I'm not saying he's gonna become the next big thing; right now, the Mets need as many servicable guys as they can get.

I have been a baseball fan since the age of five. My father first introduced me to the sport. I will be honest, I WAS a die-hard Yankees fan. However, over the past month I was given the opportunity to work with Mike of the New York Mets. Working with the amazing Mike and his awesome agent, Mr. Maurer - I cannot help myself but confess...GO METS!The reason I was given the opportunity to work with Mike Bacsik is because I am the Public Relations Coordinator of VTeens.Org. My director, Benny worked with Mr. Maurer and Mike last year and we felt, as a "team" that Mike would be a great addition to our site. His positive attitude is one that needs to be experienced by EVERYONE. Read the VTeens.Org Exclusive Interview with Mike. You can also enter to win a phone call from him.

Mike was the front runner in the fight for the fifth spot in the rotation this year but he pitched poorly and ended up in Norfolk. Since there, he has been horrible posting a 2-8 record and an ERA of 4.80. He was recently dropped from the 40 man roster meaning his future in NY is very questionable.

He's made it back with the Rangers, becoming part of their first father-son duo. He got called up in late July and pitched seven very nice innings in his first start on August 4.I fear that Matt Ginter is the righty version of Bacsik.

Bacsik is back in the bigs with Washington, and in their starting rotation. Hopefully to stay.

Mike Bacsik deserves some major kudos for the way he has handled allowing Barry Bonds's 756th HR. Many other pitchers might have folded under the media crush. Bacsik seems to be genuinely enjoying his moment in the spotlight. Good for him!

Mike gave up Barry Bonds' record breaker home run. In a class move as Bonds rounded the bases Mike tipped his cap to Bonds, even after Bonds grandstanded at home plate when he hit the ball. Class (Mike) and trash (Bonds).

This guy gets my vote for being one of the all-time tools to ever play for the Mets, and here's why: In 2007 while serving as a starter for the Nationals (and they must have been desperate for pitchers), I watched a post game interview of his on the Nat's network. He was talking about his father, who pitched in the majors in the 70's. He said that, when his father tried to give him advice/pointers on pitching, he told him to shut up and get lost.Now, that isn't an exact quote, but that was the essence of what he told the interviewer. Even as a tongue-in-cheek, flip comment, this was a moronic thing to say. He showed zero respect for his dad. If my dad ever pitched in the bigs and tried to help me, I'd be all ears. What a moron this guy is. Not sure how he managed to get so many chances to pitch in the bigs, but even Art Howe was smart enough to cut him, at last, in 2003 with the Mets. Again, what a tool. Never disrespect your father like that, even in jest. Take it from me, Hebner's Shovel. I know my tools.
