Our Team is Hot, Hot, Hot!

Happy Saturday Mets fans and welcome to this very special edition of Hot or Not. Usually, I would be calling somebody out for not doing their job while praising the other aspects of our team that give us hope. However, since we are on a 7-game winning streak, I cannot bring myself to make up a "Not" section. Everyone is doing their equal part on the team as the Amazin’ Mets make a run for [...]

Do You Believe In Magic?

For the first time in 2 years, the Mets are on a 6 game winning streak. They are a game and a half out of first. David Wright, after being shafted by the players, is going to the All Star game. And most importantly, Jerry Manuel is a gangsta. Okay, so it’s a 6 game winning streak, but it could be the start of something magical. The stars have collided and Beltran, Delgado, and Reyes [...]

Apparently when Willie was in charge, he ran the clubhouse more like a military barracks than a normal baseball clubhouse. No card playing, no music, no facial hair, no…. well you get the picture.
