One of the few brighter spots in the Mets rotation this April has been Mike Pelfrey. Okay, so he’s not Johan Santana but he is 2-1 with a 4.43 ERA (and that’s only because of his last start against Atlanta, he let off 5 runs in 5.1 innings for those keeping score at home). We knew Pelfrey’s time had come but Willie was probably gonna use El Duque had he been healthy. After a...
Read MoreOne of the good things I can still remember about last season was just how good the Mets played when Moises Alou was in the lineup.

It’s time we put this whole thing behind us, once and for all, and just root, root, root for the home team! And just to set the record straight, I never said booing was nice. I don’t boo players. But the same way booing is not nice, neither is ignoring...
Read MoreYes, it’s true and it pains me to say it. We have created such a feeling of hostility in our own home park that it has permeated into the minds of the players and turned our Mets fan base into a laughing stock throughout all of sports.We have made it a burden for the Mets to relax at the plate because of the unrealistic expectations we have for each player. It has become as though the...
