Every Mets fan knows what a fantastic player Carlos Beltran is, and now that he’s been traded for Zack Wheeler, soon so will every Giants fan. Anyway, now that Beltran’s gone, what are we left with? Beltran currently ranks 6th among NL outfielders* in OPS, which I think is probably the single most important offensive [...] more... 
Now that the Mets cleaned up the dirt, by releasing Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez, something that had to be done, the media is all hyped up with speculation on who the next Mets scapegoat will be. Just check out the headlines in the New York Post and Daily News today. NY Daily News: Mets out of [...] more... 
Andy Martino, are you looking for attention or something? What in the world are you smoking, or snorting, playing the race card on the Luis Castillo dumping. He asks: But what is it, exactly? Why is one of the toughest and most passionate Mets so unpopular among fans? The title also suggests: …it is hard [...] more... The message was clear, firm, and without any hesitation.
