And They’re Off

Congratulations, everyone! The offseason is officially over; we’ve made it. While winter is still upon us in the North, the forecast in Florida (and Arizona) for the next month is sunny with a 100% chance of baseball. For me, this is one of the most exciting times of the year. A time where the result [...] more...

Terry Collins, Bringing the Heat

There hasn’t been much about Terry Collins on Mets are Better Then Sex. We’ve been taking a wait-and-see approach on him. Don’t really know him, not too familiar with him, so we’re not judge him. We’re giving him the benefit of the doubt and not hold his past failures as a manager against him. Mets [...] more...

Luis Castillo Doesn’t Get It

If I was Luis Castillo, I’d be one of the first ones in camp. Considering his status, the fact that he’s basically playing for his career and knowing there’s going to be a competition for second base, it should’ve been a priority for him to get his ass in camp early. Not that he was [...] more...

It’s Over John

It’s over John! For the love of Christ, what the fuck is this guy doing in the starting rotation? As far as I’m concerned, the John Maine experiment is over, let’s move on or this will get uglier. Since coming over from Baltimore four years ago, we’ve only seen one good year from Maine, and [...] more...

Seinfeld Still Representing

The beginning of a new season has Mets fan on the edge of their seats: will this season be one for the books, or a repeat of last season? Here in New York it takes a strong will (and a thick skin) to stay loyal and withstand ribbing from obnoxious Yankees fans. I find it [...] more...

David Wright Beefs Up in the Offseason

I did not see this coming from typically straight laced David Wright, but it is kind of funny. I mentioned in an earlier post that Wright and Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino from Jersey Shore were shooting an online commercial for David Wright’s drink sponsor (just wasn’t in the mood for a shameless plug) during spring [...] more...

Mets Have a ‘Situation’ on the Field

Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino that is. All I have to say is, Mike you should’ve spent a few less minutes working those abs, and making some time to learn to throw. I wasn’t there, but I know what a good throw looks like in pictures, and the last time I saw someone throw the ball [...] more...

Fernando Martinez and Jenrry Mejia Belong in the Big Leagues

It seems most of the reporting on the Mets young studs, and I’m specifically talking about Fernando Martinez and Jenrry Mejia, is geared towards it being better for them and the team to start in the minors.First it was, ‘the Mets farm system sucks, and it’s depleted’. Now it’s, ‘Mets better start them in the [...] more...

Under the Radar Position Battles

I was going over what I was writing about the bullpen when compared with last season, and unfortunately I don’t think I can make a comparison until Opening Day. I have no idea, outside of the mainstays (K-Rod, Feliciano, Parnell), who will be on the roster. The short summary is that I was pumped for [...] more...
