I have to say that I have been quite unimpressed with David Wright lately. He does not hit. He is lacking in defense again. He looks as if he is defeated when he comes to the plate. In Sunday night’s game, the Cubs loaded the bases just to pitch to him because he was doing [...]
Since the inauguration of Citi Field in 2009, the topic of conversation involving the ballpark has been the dimensions. Many seem to feel the walls are ridiculous all around. You look at that left field wall and see how high it is at 12’ to 15’. Hitting a home run that way seems a little [...]
By now you have all heard about the upcoming new looks to the uniforms of the New York Mets. Plenty among the Flushing faithful had nothing but praises for the bright blue jerseys with the orange piping. Were they shocked to see yet another jersey in their locker? Probably not considering the Mets seem to [...]
It appears the time for believing in the 2011 New York Mets has come to a close. When a team consistently wins two or three games and then turns around to lose the same amount, it is safe to say they are not going anywhere. Is anybody really surprised? Not really! Look at the injury [...]
Nothing ever comes easy for the New York Mets. So why should keeping the most electrifying player in the majors, and quite possibly ever to play on the Mets, be any different. There will be plenty of teams who will be looking to sign Jose Reyes. As much as I would love to see Reyes [...]
There have been grumblings over the years about the Mets lack of fight. Once they get to around late August or September, they seem to give up on themselves. It can even be argued if they are losing a game by about five runs, they begin to give up. They come up to the plate [...]
The New York Mets should have been in full playoff contention by this time. Yet, as usual, injuries killed this team. Although they are not in realistic playoff contention, there seems to be an aura of playoffs with these Mets. They won't give up. Sandy Alderson says he expects the team to compete. This is [...]
The trade deadline is fast approaching and it seems the only move that has been made to have impacted the team was the Francisco Rodriguez trade. We all know that trade needed to be made solely on a financial basis. There are other trades that can help them financially, but they will hurt the team. [...]
I’ve decided to give New York Mets manager, Terry Collins, a special tribute for what he has been able to accomplish with this team. It was only last year when General Manager, Sandy Alderson, made the announcement that Collins would be the newest skipper in the organization. Wally Backman, the second fan favorite next to [...]
I usually am the first Mets fan to start shouting “Ya Gotta Believe” until the Mets are officially out of contention. Unfortunately, this year this team has actually driven me to the point of “Yeah whatever”. Even despite the recent wins against the Detroit Tigers by two touchdowns, I am just taking it one game [...]
“Baseball is what gets inside you. It's what lights you up, you can't deny that.” - Jimmy Dugan A League of Their Own There is something to that quote. It does not matter the team or the gender, baseball is baseball. When the men were fighting in World War II, the women were left to [...]
There is only so much that can be done with a slumping player. You can send them to the batting cages. You have them work with the hitting coach. You can give him advice until his ears bleed or his brain explodes. However, at some point, you do have to realize that maybe the player [...]
