I was watching the post game show after one of our many recent losses. You know the kind I’m referring to. The kind of loss where our lack of hitting turns marginal starters into Sandy Koufax. The kind of loss where a team who has not been hitting suddenly erupts and breaks out of their collective team slump against one of our pitchers A loss to a team who we would consider ‘inferior’ that now [...]

A few weeks ago I made post here about legendary Met broadcaster Ralph Kiner. After reading the responses to that post, it was obvious that I had struck a nerve. No matter which team you happen follow, you establish a bond between yourself and the voices covering your team. With that in mind, today’s post is about broadcasters. As Met fans we are very lucky to have what I consider to be the best broadcast [...]

There’s a lot of talk regarding change these days in Mets circles. There’s talk of change at both the general manager and the team manager position too. One name that continues to popup is former Mets manager Bobby Valentine, who is suddenly very available.  I know that there are still many Bobby Valentine fans out there, and that many of you would love to see him become manager of the Mets again if Jerry Manuel gets fired.

The Mets current west coast swing through the basement of the National League’s Western Division is becoming a difficult one. After losing three of four to the Padres over the weekend, the team dropped the opener in a three-game series to the Diamondbacks last night, 7-4. In his first stop since his wife gave birth to a baby boy, starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey struggled, and the Mets found themselves in an early hole. They made [...]

The last 2 years we have heard that when the Mets traded Carlos Gomez, Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey for Johan Santana, that the trade killed the farm system.  The Mets, and for some reason the media, told us this trade while it was necessary and important, completely decimated the farm system.  This trade slowed down the future of the Mets. Much like a lot of other things the Mets say, this is [...]

Brace yourself my friends… According to the Tyler Kepner of the New York Times, the White Sox have acquired Alex Rios from the Blue Jays. It’s a straight waiver claim, so the Blue Jays will receive nothing in return. Says Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi: “This allows us to get out from under a contract and do more to address our club.” ESPN is now confirming. Blue Jays outfielder Alex Rios has been claimed off waivers by [...]

You know, this last week was horrible for me because I had to endure a punishment that was just plain unfair. I had to spend a week in Philadelphia. Of course, I took it as an opportunity to parade around in every piece of Mets equipment I owned with pride, and I did have fun with that, but it still was unfair to be forced to look at the entire city in love with a [...]
