MLB Shanks Opening Day With Blackouts

Really MLB? That’s how you want Opening Day 2012 to go down? Not only did no one know that there was a baseball game played yesterday in Japan by Oakland and Seattle, opening day mind you, it wasn’t even televised live except for in Seattle! Even Oakland fans got bent over for the big MLB [...] more...

Open Letter: MLB Killed the Radio Star

Warning: This is going to get very rant-y. It really bothers me when someone tries to charge you for something readily available, or grossly overcharges for a simple commodity good – ex: Best Buy (and others) charging $20 for HDMI cables. They’re $2, look on Amazon.“So sit back, relax and strap on your seatbelts, you’ve [...] more...

Citi Field Sky View

Citi Field looking good from the sky. Hopefully the skills of the team that plays in it will look as good too. Not bad for a crappy Blackberry camera.   NYC shots… more...

Mets Get No Respect in Vegas

What does Vegas think of the Mets to win the World Series? Well, could be worse. At least they think the 2012 Mets have a better shot than the Orioles, Astros, Pirates, Padres, and Mariners. But that’s where the buck stops and it’s nothing to get excited about. Only 5 teams with worse odds than [...] more...

New Citi Field Fences Bad or Good?

With all the fuss about moving in the fences and how it’s supposed to be a huge lift for Mets hitters, I decided to take a closer look at the actual stats as far as home runs hit by the Mets batters at Citi Field vs the road, and home runs given up by Mets [...] more...

Mets Made-Off Conspiracy: Mets Win! (in court)

It’s just been announced (on ESPN, the Daily News and any other place you may go for your Mets news) that the Wilpons and Saul Katz have agreed to settle the Bernie Madoff situation with Irving Picard for $162 million dollars. What a relief right? I mean, they could have lost up to $383 million [...] more...

Mets Fantasy Projections: Part 1 – The Infield

In a fantasy world, our fantasy squads would comprise of mostly Mets, complemented by some extras from the league’s most distant, AL West rosters.  But in reality, despite our loyal allegiances, fantasy is a game where the participant derives pride not from “Sticking with Justin Turner ’till the end”, but rather, in rubbing victory in [...] more...

Mets Make Splashy Off-Season Radio Booth Addition

Lewin connecting with Ranger Fans While the Wilpons and Sandy Alderson insist that the freeagent baseball players available this off-season were of the mid-ling variety and not worth chasing, they did make one impressive off-season acquisition,that of Josh Lewin to join Howie Rose in the radio broadcast booth of WFAN. When writing, I prefer listening [...] more...

The Mets Will Win the World Series in 2012: Part 1

The OffenseCall me a cockeyed optimist if you want, but I believe the Mets can go all the way in 2012—Bernie Madoff be damned.
