I know it has been some time since my last contribution, so hopefully this one is good enough to make up for lost time… After another interesting, if not depressing week of Mets’ baseball, it is clear as day that this team needs to make some changes. While everyone is calling for Jerry Manuel’s head, I kind of feel that although it might be a start, its really not the answer....
Read MoreAs I’ve gotten older I’ve seemed to have become more and more nostalgic about my childhood. It’s only natural considering in September I’m going to be a father for the first time.

It’s a mystery as to why John was striking so...
Read MoreIt’s finally happened Met Nation. I finally snapped and used my “TV Brick” to throw at my 37 inch flat panel. The sponge brick, a gift from my ex-wife about 16-18 years ago, heretofore has only been used when watching NFL football. The last time I recall I threw it in anger was a playoff game between my beloved Steelers and Patriots, when Troy Brown broke off a 2nd punt/kick return for a...
