As a follow up companion piece to a recent one on the radio flagship homes of Mets baseball, this one will discuss the TV homes, though a much quicker look than the radio one. Although several different changes to the same station, both over-the-air and cable wise are interesting for those who like to follow [...]
When I rolled my ankle last fall, I was barely off crutches a week later for my birthday. And when my knee bent the wrong way playing catch this summer, an MRI revealed a bone bruise after the pain lingered a full month later. But when I heard that New York Giants tailback Andre Brown [...]
Your intrepid columnist was recently engaging in some spirited Facebook debate with some fellow fans, who were moaning that 2006 was “our” last good year.

This edition of Card of the Week is brought to you by the humble apostrophe.
Some may consider this article pointless due to the lack of value that Josh Thole has brought to the team with the exception of perhaps indirectly a Cy Young Award. However, in some ways, he did have a few great moments that will always hold a special place in many Mets fans’ hearts. My father, [...]
Is there anything more surprising than the return of Yusmeiro Petit? In 32 IP this year he has 6 BB and 37 Ks, which has led to a 2.53 ERA and a 3-0 record. If he was still on the Marlins we could say there was still time for them to win the Carlos Delgado [...]
In case you hadn’t heard, Mets’ uber-phenom Matt Harvey took a trip to sunny Florida yesterday to consult with Dr. James Andrews, the guru of Tommy John surgery. This is an exploratory visit, if you will, to determine the extent of the ligament tear in Harvey’s forearm. If it’s a teeny-tiny tear, then Harvey might [...]
