Opening Day is Approaching But Where Is Our Leader?
An article by 
MMO Family and Friends,
As you may or may not have noticed we are missing our leader. Due to unforeseen, and untimely, circumstances Joe D had to undergo surgery. I won’t go into details because he’s going to kill me for posting this as it is, but he will be there for a while. As second in command I wanted to ask everyone to keep Joe in your prayers and if you would like please wish him well in the comments. We can make this his virtual Get Well card, if you will.
Now I’m not one of the great writers or bloggers of this site but I am the graphic artist so I think this simple but appropriate graphic says it all. Hopefully he will get a chance to see this soon and know everyone was thinking about him. While we may not all agree on baseball all of the time, we are still one big family of Met fans. I guarantee he’s more pissed off about missing the opening of baseball season than anything else. That’s our Joe D!
God Bless and Lets Go Mets,
Kelly H

Get well soon Joe! Everyone here at MMO wishes you well and a quick recovery!
Get well soon Joe!
Joe,
Get Well Soon! Even though we don’t agree on everything (and though I get pissed at you for stupid stuff) you are a wonderful friend, colleague, leader, editor in-chief, etc to me. In my 1 year of being a writer for Mets Merized Online, you’ve taught me some things that I try to incorporate in my writing everyday. That alone is something I can’t thank you enough for. Get well soon man!

Get well soon Joe. Is there anyway we can send a card? Sometimes in serious situations like these I would like it to be more personal than “virtual” If not that’s okay just get better, Joe
Get well soon Joe! MMO is not the same without you.
Get well very soon Joe! I am definitely praying for ya! LGM!!!!!
Get well soon Joe, I will continue to keep on eye on the site for you and help keep it fresh!
Get Well Soon O Fearless Leader!
Feel Better Joe! Hoping all went well and you have a speedy recovery! In my prayers!
May your day to day become good to go ASAP!
Get well soon, Joe!
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Joe.
Unlike our current Mets, depth is apparently a strong suit here and those behind you will apparently keep MMO rolling.
Joe,
Even though we all only know each other via cyber space, we’ve all become a kin to one another so here are sincere wishes for you to get over your ailment and get back to being well and happy. Keep those spirits up for better days ahead.
Your friend,
Joey D
Most definitely Get well soon Joe D. Thoughts & prayers are with you.
Wishing you a speedy recovery..
Joe,
I hope you get better soon. While I may not have known you as long as many others here have you have always been around to help since I have known you! Get back to being yourself, but don’t push yourself.
I know I complain a lot lately but the truth is I love this site. Get back soon Joe!
All the Best Joe, give it everything you got.
We’re all in your corner.
Go get ‘em.
Get well soon Joe.
Wishing you nothing but the best Joe! I know we don’t always agree but you’ve always had my back on here even when I given you many headaches with my posts. Get well soon!
Joe, hope you have a speedy and successful recovery from your surgery. Always enjoy reading your posts and insights into our team. Take care of yourself Joe, we and the Mets will be here when you return!
My friend, my mentor, my buddy.
It’s not really MMO if you’re not here with us.
We’re all just like passengers of Oceanic flight 815 wandering around the beach while Jack is off somewhere else.
Get well, get better. Thinking of ya…
Prayers to you from all of us…
Mack
Something that brings us all together, concern for our own! God bless Joe!
Get well. Prayers will be said (which we can all use, but for you, I’ll pray 2xs).
Joe get better quick because it just isn’t the same with out you. Ill pray for your speedy recovery.
Just about the ONLY thing everyone agrees on around here is this site is as great as it is because of Joe!
And we all hope he gets well and out of the hospital soon so he can enjoy the impending season!
Good words, Metsi.
Says it all.
Get well soon Joe! We will need your passion for the Mets in full force as the season gets underway!
C’mon Joe. Stop screwing around with the doctors and get back to the game we all love. Seriously, we all miss you. Get back soon.
Well we argue about a lot on this board, but I think this is a rare instance when we are all in agreement on something. Joe, best of luck to you and a speedy recovery.
I remember when MMO was posts, graphics and arguing in the chat box. And its turned into a phenomenal site for great Mets fans all around! This is like the morning paper to me, don’t miss a single post. Its a part of my everyday routine. I love how MMO has evolved and I know it’ll only keep getting better. Best wishes to you Joe, a healthy and speedy recovery is definitely in all of our prayers!
I could see Joe D in his hospital bed like the Indians manager Lou in Major League II. C’MON PELF, YOU SUCK! Get well soon Joe!
Get well Joe D. and come out of this better than when you went in. I believe you’ll have no problem finding a way to get your Mets fix one way or another.
Wishing you a speedy recovery Joe!! =)
Get well soon. You are the glue that holds this facility of maniacs together. Come back to is stronger than ever friend.
