What's on my mind today?
And just like that, our Cy Young winner is gone. That’s right, R.A. Dickey has been traded to the Toronto Blue Jays . Didn’t I just write a post like this last year after the Mets let batting champ Jose Reyes go to the Miami Marlins? Why is my beloved franchise so determined to get [...]
Yesterday, Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey notched his 20th win. True, it doesn’t matter much for the team, that has long been out of the playoff race. But it’s still a rare feat for a pitcher – especially for a knuckle-baller. And hey, before the season’s over, he even has a chance to get a 21st [...]
Just the other day, I wrote how awesome R.A. Dickey is; for the obvious “he’s an awesome pitcher” reasons, and because when he comes up to bat, the Citi Field crew plays the Game of Thrones theme. You see, every Met – and, I assume, every other major league player – picks a song that [...]
A random collection of musings on this Tuesday morning. How about them Mets, huh? We are into the third month of the season, and the Mets are sitting pretty in second place… behind the Nationals, of all teams. True, there’s still a lot of baseball left to be played, but who would have expected that [...]
It’s a mish-mosh of random, unrelated musings today. Huzzah! Why is this whole Chevy Chase/Dan Harmon feud continuing to play out in the media? Harmon apologized for leaking Chase’s first voicemail rant, so how did this second call get out there? It doesn’t make sense for Harmon or Chase to leak it, so does that [...]
Yesterday evening, I stumbled upon this article about the start of the 2012 baseball season. The title of the piece is “Baseball’s Opening Day: Would you let your kid root for the Mets?” Now obviously, it’s a little bit late for Eli, since at the age of 2 and 1/4 (almost), he is a die-hard [...]
Jose Reyes is no longer a Met, after signing a six year, $106 million contract with the Miami Marlins. (Remember when they were just the Florida Marlins?) Look, it’s an awful lot of money, and it’s hard to blame Jose for being tempted by that amount of dough. Still, Reyes made a mistake by not [...]
…Another disappointing Mets season. But unlike some other heartbreaking years in recent memory, this season offered a few small consolations. First off, the Mets have their first batting champion in Jose Reyes. I understand why people were bummed that he chose to sit after getting his first hit on the last day of the season [...]
Here’s how much of an eternal optimist I am: I choose to believe in the Mets this year. Now I know, any baseball prognosticator worth his or her salt is predicting that the Metropolitans will be battling it out with the Nationals over who will end up in the NL East cellar. I also know [...]
Congratulations Terry Collins, you just got the worst job in Major League Baseball! Good luck to you! You’re walking into a crappy situation – the payroll is over-inflated, you’ve got injuries to deal with, and the players that are healthy aren’t playing to their true potential. And yet, you will be expected to win. Because [...]
