16.5 million dollars a year will do that. Will cause fans and experts to doubt your ability. Will cause everyone to look past how good you are and only focus on what you are getting paid to determine if you are worth their admiration. Jason Bay signed with the Mets in the winter of 2010 [...] more... 
It’s been less than a full week in the majors, though we’ve seen enough to practically anoint Ike Davis the Mets starting first baseman for the season. Ike Davis has brought us a sense of stability in a position full of question marks once Delgado’s deterioration took effect. Now we like Daniel Murphy, and it’s [...] more... 
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... 
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...

Let’s give a round of applause to the 2009 World Baseball Classic stars, the New York Mets. Our Mets came, performed, and showed the world how it’s done with integrity. Hitters:Carlos Beltran (Puerto Rico)- ROUND 2 STUD!.421 AVG, .632 SLG, .542 OBP Round 1Vs Panama 1-4, BBVs Netherlands 2-4, BBVs Netherlands 1-4, 1 RBI, 3 [...] more... 
Jerry Manuel hands left field job to Daniel Murphy and swings the platoon to Church in right. Jerry says he does not want to get Murphy into a platoon only scenario and believes he’s a better hitter than Church at the moment. “I don’t want him to get into a strictly platoon situation,” Manuel said [...] more... 
He jumps or sometimes bunny hops over the foul line on the way to the dug out in between innings. He has an offbeat delivery that changes on occasion. He tricks you into thinking he looks lost out there. His swing can give Bugs Bunny a run for his money. So what! Who gives a [...] more...
