What’s There To Believe With These Mets?
In a season where the Mets are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the 1969 Miracle Mets, management is actually asking the fans to think more in the line with the 1973 “Ya Gotta Believe” Mets. The problem is that the Mets of 2019 do not resemble either of those teams.
Just Keep Running ‘Em Out There!
For the second year in a row, the Mets started out looking like they were going to take the league by storm. Instead, they look overmatched everywhere they go. The roster is constructed poorly no matter how you look at it. The complaint following the last game in Milwaukee was
Baseball Like It Ought To Be?
The game has obviously changed. I never thought of baseball as a dangerous game. I thought of football as a dangerous game, but not baseball. I learned how to take out a second baseman to break up a double play in Little League. I learned how to barrel into a
The Mets Strength Is Proving To Be The Weak Spot Right Now
It happens every spring. The Mets strength is what? Let’s hear it…their pitching. Well, the pitching has been unimpressive, to say the least. Even Jacob deGrom has looked “human.” The bullpen has been just brutal. The keys to the bullpen were supposed to be the bridges to the closer –
It’s Time Again For “Let’s Go Mets!”
Opening Day is finally here. Baseball is back. It was a long winter after a disappointing season. But although there wasn’t a major overhaul, no fire sale, it was an interesting off-season to say the least. How it plays out now will be interesting and, hopefully, fun. Before we get
Time To Say Good-bye To A Special Met
Every so often, someone special comes along. Someone that just makes you smile. Someone that you can look at and say, “Now THERE’S a good kid.” The Seattle Mariners had Junior Griffey. The Yankees, of course, had Derek Jeter. The Mets…well…they have had David Wright. David Wright has been everything
deGrom Needs A One Way Ticket
If I were Jacob deGrom, I would want to bust outta here on the first laundry truck. Why in the world would he want to stick around? As a Mets fan, I do not want to see deGrom traded off. deGrom has become one of my favorite all-time athletes, ranking
Hey, Don’t Blame Reyes!
I love listening to sports talk radio…and watching some of my fellow Mets fans post their thoughts on social media. I get a real kick out of some of what I see and hear – ripping players, proposing ridiculous trades, firing managers, kicking general managers to the curb, and believing
Subway Series Could Permanently Derail Mets Season
I have seen when a deer gets struck by a vehicle, and is suffering, a police officer will take out his service revolver and put the poor thing out of its misery. Given the way the Yankees have been a virtual juggernaut, and the Mets have been like a wounded
