It’s Déjà vu All Over Again

Ok, where have I seen this before?  The Mets lost another close game to the Rockies last night, and it was all too familiar.  They had an early lead of 1-0 which grew to 3-1 in the bottom of the 4th only to have the Rocks put up a 3-spot in their very next at [...] more...

John Maine Does Not Belong Back in Starting Rotation

As I read the NY Post this morning, I read something that really pissed me off in reference to John Maine. Unfortunately for Mets fans, Maine has been on the comeback trail. He’s had a few decent appearances in the minors thus far. The word on the street was that upon Maine’s return, the Mets [...] more...

Jay Horowitz’s Public Degradation

In recent seasons, Mets fans have heard countless cries calling for everyone’s heads. Fire Omar Minaya, fire Willie Randolph, fire Tony Bernazard, fire Jerry Manuel, fire the pitching and hitting coaches, fire this one, fire that one. How about firing Jay Horowitz? We never hear that one, well, until recently. This was mentioned in the [...] more...

Help From Below: Why Not Now?

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...

Tight-Asses Need a Sense of Humor

This post may be a day or two late, nevertheless one that needed to go up. If you haven’t noticed, Jerry has been getting killed in the press and radio airwaves on the way he handled the Gary Sheffield cramp in Atlanta a few games ago. With the Mets limping along, barely, it seems that [...] more...

The "Skankees Sweep the "Muts"

Sorry to have to stoop this low to call Major League Baseball teams derogatory names in this day and age of professional sports writing. However the product I just viewed over the past 72 hours leaves me with little choice but to degrade these teams that pretend to be high class organizations that put out [...] more...

Getting to Snow Fernando Nieve

With all the rain this NYC has been getting, it was a huge welcome for Mets fans to get some snow at Citi. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! That’s right, Fernando Nieve (aka snow in Spanish), has been as shocking as snow in summer. No one would have predicted what this [...] more...

Jerry Manuel: 2009 Season, Good Night.

I will make this short and sweet. Those who know me personally and my writing, the one thing about both is that it remains consistent. I don’t jump on and off the bandwagon. I critique when things are are going or or bad. I always say the glass is 7/8 full and this is by [...] more...
