Mets Spring Training 2013 NewFeat_Image

The first lady of RDM suggested a thread topic a few days ago, and I thought it could make a nice diversion for a Saturday afternoon. SRT wants to know which player we all think will surprise the most – playing way over and above what’s projected. Is it Duda, Hitting 40 HRs and sticking …

Sticking to the OF

I heard a rumor that the Met OF was a work in progress still (among other things, not suitable to say on a family site). There is also an ever increasing love affair in some circles with Angel Pagan (the man, the myth, the legend). A soon to be 32 YO center fielder that now …

Sticking-to-the-plan-NewFeat_Image

OK, so apparently the first step in the mysterious plan was to make a lifetime commitment to David Wright. So check that one off of Sandy’s “things to do before I can have a Mai Tai list”. But that leaves the big question, of what to do next? They could go for the “2012 was …

Sticking to the “plan”

Sticking-to-the-plan-NewFeat_Image

In 2 short years, the front office of the Mets has become a lightning rod for the anger of a portion of the fan base. But, in my opinion, many of the more “vocal” posters on some blogs seem to largely miss the point of what the job of a GM is. It is not …

The power of If.

If is a magical word, especially when it comes to being a sports fan. And it is a key foundation piece to a met fan staple “There’s always next year!” It is also the reason why I don’t believe that the Mets have no shot for 3,4,5 years to come (or heck, even in 2012). …

The bench is set. or is it?

The bench. We all seem to be assuming Harris is some kind of a lock, but should he be? I think he was signed in case Hairston busted, or no other LF utility type stepped up. But, has either of those things happened? And on the bench, do you need 1 or 2 LH hitters, …

Jose Reyes Feat_Image

The recent news about Adrian Beltre agreeing to a (potentially) ridiculous contract with Texas has re-ignited the Jose Reyes debate (“to extend or not to extend, that is the question” – and only Jimmy Johnson knows the answer…) While there are certainly many factors to consider, including the Mets finances and the front office’s grand …

With so little going on at the moment with moves from the Mets, it is interesting to read various blogs to get a feel for the expectations of the fans (or at least the radical fringe that like to post comments at this time of year!) So, what have I learned from all this exhaustive …

The Long Awaited Debut Of Stickguy! “So the Mets have a manager. Now what?”

So the Mets have a manager. Now what? The country can breathe again. The long search for a manager to lead the Mets is over. And once the Backman fans finish canceling their season ticket orders, what do we have to occupy ourselves for the next 3 months? That’s right, Hot Stove season! There seems …
