As I indicated last week, there is a reasonable expectation that the pitching will improve this season when compared to 2009. However, there are several reasons to expect that improvement to be marginal (though I expect it to be significant). The offense, on the hand, is another matter… Following is the projected lineup comparison (once [...] more... 
What happened in 2009 was truly amazing. For all the things that went wrong, to happen the way they did is surreal in a sense. Surreal or Murphy’s Law? One version states “If anything can go wrong, it will, and it will happen at the worse possible time.” Sound familiar? In actuality, chances are, it [...] more... 
With about a month left to go until pitchers and catchers report, Mets have obvious substantial work to get done on those two fronts. Mets fans remember this, even with no catcher at this point, Mets are better than last year. It’s called addition by subtraction, Brian Schneider, thank you. Bengie, get your head out [...] more... 
Since the Mets aren’t providing any good entertainment these days, we wanted to share some other entertaining blogs out there covering our team, well except for one of them. Besides the usual run of the mil type blogs we all know, these are a little different, providing unique concepts and perspectives. Creativity sets them apart. [...] more... 
That certainly is not the Omar Minaya who is seen as a “Dead Man Walking” if Tony B. remains in the Mets front office, but this is not necessarily about either of them yet it’s about both of them. Makes sense yet? I didn’t think so. We need to set the ground rules for this [...] more... 
Now it’s no secret how we feel about Brian ‘Automatic Out’ Schneider here at Mets Are Better Than Sex. Word on the street is he’s headed back to the roster either today or tomorrow. I’m not going to get into why or how Castro and Santos are better served for the job, we’ve been down [...] more... 
With the unofficial start of summer past us, Mets head into the meat of the season in good position regardless of all the unexpected injuries of recent. They must take advantage of the NL East bottom feeders this week, something that has not been easy for this team is recent history. By taking the first [...] more... 
First off, can someone tell Carlos Beltran to get his head out of his ass? But to please continue hitting. Now, no one is saying rookie Mets catcher Omir Santos is the next coming of Piazza, but you can’t over look the fact the Mets seem to be winning more frequently without Brian Schneider. It’s [...] more... 
With only two weeks in and the first home stand at Citi field in the books, Mets have obvious holes, and we’re not talking about the sexy ones. First, Mets have shown they can’t get the big hit. Leaving tons of base runners stranded in scoring position with less than two outs has been a [...] more... 
With one week in the books, we got some glimpses of what this team is made of. Some good things, some not so. Let’s start with Jose Reyes who hasn’t really gotten started yet. Reyes has it on third gear right now, and will at anytime shred it up to sixth gear in a blink [...] more...
