The disrespect of Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey

R.A Dickey is pissed, and we don’t blame him. It’s one thing to not have the financial flexibility to sign a player, it’s another thing to undeservedly and blatantly disrespect one of the most stand-up players on your team. If the Mets are not blatantly disrespecting R.A. Dickey, then it’s clear they have no clue [...] more...

Mets Fans Want Wright Actions

actions-speak-louder-than-words-199245 The Mets are certainly saying the right things in reference to retaining David Wright and RA Dickey for an extension. The question is, will their actions match their words? Or is what they’re saying just a dog-and-pony show giving fans false hope like last year? In case we need to be reminded, about one year [...] more...

Circling the Drain

circle_the_drain__by_wonderlessqueen-d3hqjzi_thumb In a post over at Metsblog recently, Michael Baron discusses the tradability of Captain Fastball aka Bobby Parnell. He notes that Parnell’s salary for the 2012 season is $504,000 and that he is eligible for arbitration, a process through which he will earn a raise. His surface statistics indicate that he was worth more than [...] more...

Amazin New Lows

empty seats Terribly unreal. Is this rock bottom? It’s just not possible to go any lower, is it? The crazy thing is, every time we think this team has hit bottom it finds new lows. Finishing strong is not in this teams DNA. How about finishing respectably? We can’t even get that. We’re now going on nine [...] more...

1962 Mets were better at home down the stretch

the_worst_mutha_cover We get it, this Mets team is in a free fall like we’ve never seen before. But they can’t be worse than the 1962 Mets who lost 120 games and winning only 40, could they? Ok so maybe they’re not as bad as the 62 team since they’ve already won 66 games, and that’s not [...] more...

Mets Fan Gets No-Hitter Punishment

The fan with the Gary Carter jersey on that got to celebrate the Mets first ever no hitter with the team on the field, albeit in the grasps of security getting mauled to the ground, officially received his punishment. The verdict? Five thousand bucks and 100 hours of community service. Could’ve been worse. It almost sounds [...] more...

Ovations at Citi for Chipper Jones?

chipper What in the world was going on at Citi Field yesterday? I am appalled, embarrassed, but mostly utterly disgusted with the reaction Mets fans gave Chipper Jones in his final game at Citi Field yesterday before retirement. The man who single-handedly caused this fan base a ton of heartache and pain warrants two ovations from [...] more...

Next Year’s Outfield – the Melky Way.

Sitting here listening to the Mets vs. Phillies day game yesterday, I notice Ron and Keith start talking about next year’s outfield. They acknowledge the given: that the Mets currently have a plethora of 4th outfielders; that between Lucas Duda, Jason Bay, Mike Baxter and Scott Hairston, there exists no good solution for the center field [...] more...

Harvey’s breath of fresh air

freshair1 Can’t say enough about the hope that is Matt Harvey. With not much to get excited about with another lost season of futility, Matt Harvey has truly been a breath of fresh air. I’m not sure Mets fans expected him to be this good this early in his career. We’re used to players not living [...] more...
