In Memoriam: Butch Huskey (1993;1995-1998)

We here at The Mets Are Better Than Sex are starting a new feature called “In Memoriam” in which we will take a moment to remember, acknowledge, celebrate, castigate, and otherwise reminisce on former Mets both good and bad, who have contributed to the history of the organization and helped make the Mets what they [...] more...

A Competent Met Management? No Way!

There are a couple of reasons lately to be optimistic that we may actually have semi-competent personnel in Met management for the first time in over 20 years(and that last year wasn’t just a fluke). 1. Pelfrey Makes The Rotation. Where in years past Met fans have seen been forced to watch mediocre messes such [...] more...

In Memoriam: Doug Sisk (1982-1987)

We here at The Mets Are Better Than Sex are starting a new feature called “In Memoriam” in which we will take a moment to remember, acknowledge, celebrate, castigate, and otherwise reminisce on former Mets both good and bad, who have contributed to the history of the organization and helped make the Mets what they [...] more...

Spring Musings

Some observations from the Grapefruit League: I had real trouble watching Shawn Green and Moises Alou do those “wind-sprints” on the warning track the other night. Throw in LoDuca and Delgado and you’ve got one mean relay-race. Now that Sierra has been given his walking papers, Mondesi claims to have “talked” with the Mets, and [...] more...

Tracking The Trade: Vargas for Owens/Lindstrom

The Mets didn’t do a whole lot during the offseason, but one move they did make was trading two right-handed relievers — Henry Owen and Matt Lindstrom — to the Marlins for Jason Vargas (fine, AND Adam Bostick). I know it’s only spring training, and nobody cares, but here’s the latest from spring training: Henry [...] more...

Spring Training, A Neverending Tale

As we conclude day 9,316 of Spring Training. Two things have become abundantly clear: 1) Spring Training is unbearably long. 2) Spring Training is unbelievably useless. Now, I know some of you will argue that spring training is important for teams to determine their roster. To that I say, suck it. You’re wrong. Teams that [...] more...

The Hottest Corner In The League

Four three-sackers walk into a bar. The bartender, whose name is ARod, says …” Speaking of ARod coming to the Mets and having problems finding a spot on the left side of the infield. The whole division is loaded at the hot corner. The quality of the 3B position in the NL East is sick [...] more...

Bring On the Contraversy

Alright, I’ll do it. I’ll pay attention to the 800-pound white/pink gorilla-elephant lounging in my living room. It’s been about two weeks, but I confess, it’s been on my mind this entire time (ok, so Scarlett Johansson crept in there a bit, but that’s like breathing oxygen). The poster boy – David Wright – told [...] more...

A Letter From Jose Valentin’s Mustache

Hi, I’m Jose Valentin’s mustache. If you watch the Mets then you’ve probably seen me around. I’m attached to the face of Met second basemen Jose Valentin. Anywho, I’ve got a few things I want to get off my chest so if you could bare with me I’d appreciate it. Jose had a bad game [...] more...
