At the start of every season, fans dream about what their team can do. Some of the dreams are realistic, some are not. How realistic, (or not realistic) are the following scenarios to happen? Scenario 1: David Wright repeats last season’s performance. I say realistic. David Wright’s 2011 was an aberration and he worked extremely [...] more... While Sandy Alderson has done an amazing job collecting pitching prospects and putting together what could be an excellent infield, the outfield flat out sucks. The two highest paid outfielders for the Mets are Jason Bay and Bobby Bonilla, both of whom no longer play for the Mets. Fred Wilpon, the “beloved” Mets owner recently [...] more... 
The deadline came, the deadline went, the Mets did nothing, and down the stretch we go. There’s no need to force a move for the sake of just making a move and I’m good with that. Now do I think Sandy Alderson was too passive a few weeks ago when the Mets were in great [...] more... When the moon is in the Seventh House; And Jupiter, aligns with Mars. Then Peace will guide the planets; And love, will steer the stars. A few nights ago on SNY, the Mets will ceded airtime to their AAA-affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons. Sure, it was a Monday off-day and SNY isn’t entitled to show re-runs [...] more... In my last posting I discussed whether the Mets should be buyers or sellers.

Unfortunately, the odds for such a feat seemed so minute, at the start of [...] more... 
You may be looking at the date of this post and thinking to yourself, “he’s a little late. The Mets already played the series in Chicago.” but you’d be wrong. In a season of measured expectations where the idea of finishing in 2nd to last was supposed to be heralded as a major feat for [...] more...

Selig announces 2013 All Star Game will be played at Citi Field With the official announcement that the 2013 All Star Game will be played at Citi, it’s time to get the Mets back to the land of respectability. After enduring a long run of tremulous season after tremulous season, Sandy Alderson and the Wilpons [...] more... Sandy Alderson did the right thing today and manned up about the bullpen failures given it’s really the one place he actually tried to do something about in the off-season. “The bullpen has been a frustration, there’s no question about it,” Alderson said. “We made an attempt to fix it, and at this point it [...] more...
