When you take a look at this current Mets team, it’s not that dificult to figure out that they are woefully short in the power department. During last weeks interview between Jeff Wilpon, Omar Minaya and Mike Francesa, a great deal of time was dedicated toward finding a big-time power hitter.

One sounded like an idiot son, another should be fired for cronyism, and the third (what the heck was he doing there?) a bean counter. (If Howard called the fans...
Read MoreYou’ve heard it again and again and again… Great pitching wins championships. While the Mets spend the next few weeks pondering over what went wrong, I urge them not to waste too much time looking backward.
