1973 TOPPS HANK WEBB I was fortunate enough to catch the Mets’ opening weekend, thanks to a free preview of MLB Extra Innings. Opening Night was a crystallization of much that I expect will be wrong with the Mets this…
Welcome to this week’s edition of Mets360 chat. This will begin today at 1:00 Eastern time and run for at least 30 minutes. Ask any question about the Mets and we’ll do our best to get it answered. Sometimes Firefox…
The Mets and Phillies get ready to face off for the first time in 2011 when they play a three-game set in Philadelphia starting Tuesday. While Jose Reyes, David Wright, Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins all return for this year’s…
The Marlins have always annoyed me. As a Mets fan, I dislike how they had an easier path as an expansion team than the clubs that joined MLB in the 1960s. Also, I was not a big fan of how…

Here we sit, on the eve of the 50th Opening Day in the history of the New York Mets. Much has been made of openers in Mets history, the bad (never winning one from ’62 through ’69), the good (hardly…
Remember when David Wright opened Grapefruit League play with an 0-for-13 mark? Well, after Tuesday’s two-hit performance, Wright now has a .347/.382/.633 line in 49 ABs this Spring. I think it’s safe to say that he’s ready for the regular…
1976 TOPPS FELIX MILLAN Fans today are amazed by how far Josh Thole chokes up on the bat. He had nothing on Felix Millan. If you take a look at Millan’s 1976 card, you might think he was fooling around…
