Usually our MMO Flashbacks go back anywhere from two to six years ago, and I’ve never done one featuring myself. So I’m breaking all the rules and letting my hair down with this MMO Flashback that I originally posted five weeks ago on Opening Day. Enjoy…   Hey, It’s Opening Day! Johan Santana is on the mound… Murphy, Wright, Davis, Bay and Duda are all in the lineup for the first time ever? I don’t [...]

The phone rang, and it was Mets RHP Matt Budgell who was relaxing with some of the other players in their hotel room at Port St. Lucie after completing their Tuesday workouts at extended spring training. Matt was the Mets 10th round pick in last years MLB draft, and was nice enough to spend a little time answering questions for all of us here at MMO. We spoke for about twenty minutes as Matt told me how [...]

In case you are unaware, David Wright has hit the ground running to start the 2012 season, and that’s putting it lightly. The franchise third baseman has been infamous for eating up the southpaws, but in what is shaping up to be a career year for David Wright, he has actually hit right handed pitching moreso than that of the lefties in 2012. Wright is batting .376/.475/.554 on the year, ranking fifth in all of [...]

Chris Young tossed five scoreless innings tonight as St. Lucie beat Brevard County 4-3. It was his first official minor league game since undergoing May 16, 2011 surgery to repair a torn anterior capsule in his right shoulder. Young allowed five hits and two walks while striking out four batters. Young is expected to make 3-4 more minor league starts at a higher level before joining the Mets rotation sometime in June. Young, 32, made four [...]

This is a year of transition for the Mets. In a year of transition the goal is to see what you have for the future as you look to build a winning team. Some, but not all of the players who we are seeing in the lineup this season are part of the solution. The others may not be part of the problem, but that doesn’t mean that they are going to help us contend [...]

I feel sorry for all those saps who claimed they wouldn’t go see or in some cases watch this team because of some stupid protest against the Mets owners. What about all the princes and paupers who predicted doom and gloom and falling attendance, and the seers and prophets who refused to give this Mets team a chance? What a bunch of whiny, uninformed, poor excuse for Met fans they turned out to be. Proud to be [...]
