The Best Staff Ever…or Too Quick to Anoint?
The best pitching staff in baseball. The best pitching staff the Mets have ever had. The best pitching staff ever assembled. Hmmm. Can’t miss. After years of hope…or rather…hopelessness…it is refreshing to hear such high praise…any kind of praise really…for the Mets. And I can understand why the excitement about
The Mets Behind the Numbers
The Mets announced that they will, at times, be sporting their “racing stripe” uniforms in honor of the 30th Anniversary of the 1986 World Series Championship team. I have always had a fascination with the Mets uniforms and to be quite honest, I absolutely hated those uniforms. The home uniforms were
Three’s Company But Four’s A Crowd
Okay…so now that everyone got what they wanted…and the Mets ownership opened their wallets and re-signed Yoenis Cespedes…now what? The Mets now have four outfielders for three positions and there is not yet a DH in the National League. When Cespedes was brought to the Mets at the trade deadline,
Stop the Insanity!
It is just amazing how ridiculous some fans can be. The furor over signing Cespedes was relentless. Fans screamed that the Mets ownership NEVER spends money. And I think it is just incredible that the media feeds the frenzy and perpetuates the insanity. Whether it was caving into the fan

I am glad the Mets
Who Says The Mets Won’t Spend Money?
You would think that after the Mets made it all the way to the World Series in 2015 that the fan base would be somewhat satisfied and have some faith in Mets management and General Manager Sandy Alderson. After all, after taking hit after hit in the media and on
Piazza Takes His Place With The Greats
Ken Griffey, Jr. making it to the Hall of Fame is a true feel good story. It seemed he was destined for greatness. He was a kid among men, roaming the clubhouses in the major league parks, hanging around like any son who tags along with his father to the
Who Deserves to be in the Hall of Fame Class of 2016?
The Hall of Fame will be announcing the class of 2016 at 6 p.m. Just wanted to chime in with who I would have voted for this year: Ken Griffey, Jr., Mike Piazza, Trevor Hoffman, Tim Raines, and Jeff Kent. Griffey, in my mind, should be an absolute unanimous selection.
With Some…Talent Means Everything
I have seen way too often that the rules do not apply to all. And that is especially true in the sports world. If the person has enough talent, then all will be forgiven and, quite often, forgotten. If a player can bring something to the table…bring enough talent…then no
