The Wrong Hustle

caution I was going to write about this a few weeks ago after witnessing David Wright jog it up the first base line on a few occasions during a previous homestead. My immediate response was one of confusion as we’ve always known Wright to be the golden child, the player who always gives it his all [...] more...

#JohanSantana #NoHitter #Mets

Screen shot 2012-06-01 at 10.31.39 PM Amazin’ in every sense. Johan Santana, coming back from major surgery does what no other Met has ever done. A New York Met player has finally threw a no-hitter. Just some random thoughts about the craziness of all this as I attempt to contain myself. This could not have happened to a better guy. Yes [...] more...

You Gotta Believe

“Nothing is over, until we decide it is. Was it over when the German’s bombed Pearl Harbor? No!” ~ Bluto (“National Lampoon’s Animal House”)   11 come-from-behind wins this season and we’re not even at Mother’s Day. A team that fought back after giving up an 11 run inning (even though they lost) rather than [...] more...

Time Must Be Wright for David

David Wright is now THE man. In years past, the Mets 3rd basemen has been accompanied by other star players such as Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, and Carlos Delgado. But now, with the departure of the aforementioned stars, David stands alone as undoubtedly the face of a fallen franchise. Just six short years ago, the [...] more...

We’ll Miss You, Carlos

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...

Who is Zack Wheeler?

It’s almost a done deal. It seems the only thing left for it to be official is approval from Beltran. Sandy Alderson has made his biggest move so far by trading Carlos Beltran for Zack Wheeler. Developing pitching is key and believe it was the right position to target. Lets hope this pans out for [...] more...

Fred Wilpon, Listen Up

Fred Wilpon, as I’m sure you’ve heard already, has trashed his team in an upcoming article in the New Yorker. I realize he’s the owner of the Mets and can say whatever he wants about his team, but what purpose does this serve? Are you trying to sour Mets fans on these players in the [...] more...

Open Letter: Fred Wilpon, Please Sell the Mets

Fred, what’s gotten into you? Did you get water-boarded for this interview you just did for Jeffrey Toobin of the New Yorker? I ask because your comments are very uncharacteristic of you, so just trying to make sense of it all. I mean come on Fred, you are a very respected baseball owner and business [...] more...

Spring Cleaning for Mets Roster? I hope not…

All anyone wants to talk about these days regarding the Mets is that they’ll soon be cleaning house—trading away all of our good veterans for prospects.  A lot of people want to trade Reyes, Beltran, even David Wright for pitching prospects.  I guess they figure we can get some great prospects in return for these [...] more...
