The beer commercials for Old Milwaukee told us, "It doesn't get any better than this!" What's the slogan for East Milwaukee?
Rumors: Not only a great album, but also what the MLB offseason exists on. Now that we are all finished with the Shohei Ohtani free agency experience, all focus has shifted to where coveted starter Yonishibu Yammamoto will land. The 25 year-old stud has drawn interest from the New York Mets, Yankees, San Francisco Giants, [...]
Recently, a story came across my Facebook timeline that said when he was an active player and made a road trip to Boston, Dennis Rodman would buy out a Toys-R-Us and deliver it to Children’s Hospital. Rodman, who certainly had multiple issues, did this without any fanfare. This is my preferred way for millionaires and [...]
It’s December in New York and so that means the Hot Stove is heating up. Major League Baseball’s Winter Meeting is convening once again and when baseball executives meet, they can’t help themselves from doing deals. The hottest two players on the free agent front are Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Where will they land? [...]
I took my bag into a grocer's store The price is higher than the time before Old man asked me why is it more Dumpster diving is more expensive than it used to be. To get a pitcher with a 6.65 ERA and 1.646 WHIP in 89.1 IP last year, the Mets had to pay [...]
We never really know what’s going to happen in a given offseason. Well, maybe we could have said “nothing” for the 1979 Mets and been more or less right. But we knew last year that the Mets were going to spend a lot of money – even if we didn’t necessarily know on which players [...]
This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for a surprise article from John Fox!
I'd like to add multiple writers for the site. I'm looking for people to write our regular articles and also one person to write quick hitters six or more times per month. If you're interested in writing our regular articles, the minimum requirement is one article per month, although you can write more if you [...]
Even when you think you have enough starting pitching, the rigors of a 162-game season often test that to the limit. The obvious key to overcoming that is not just depth, but quality depth. That is an area that the Mets were seriously lacking in 2023, a weakness exposed first by injuries and then at [...]
Twice previously, there’s been an article here with a similar title. The first was when the Mets hired Mickey Callaway. And the second one was when they hired Carlos Beltran. There wasn’t one for Buck Showalter, because he was a veteran manager who knew all the angles. But now we’re back to a first-time hire [...]
As MLB teams take this time to finalize their strategies for free agency, they look at and reflect holes that need to be plugged on their roster. For the Mets, some holes are glaring, like the need for a consistent DH and starting pitching depth. Other roster problems can feel like an existential crisis, such [...]
Back in 2022, with teams forced to trim their active rosters down from 28 to 26, the Mets decided to move on from Robinson Cano despite owing him $37.5 million on his 10-year, $240 million contract, which was originally signed with the Seattle Mariners. Cano, who was 39 at the time, had only played in [...]
