While the Skill sets obsess over their falling financial empire, I’m obsessing over Jose Reyes. Maybe I’m wrong but I wish he were one of the players already working out in St. Lonesome. Sure D-Wright is there and a number of other players and Reyes doesn’t have to report until next week (technically he doesn’t have to report until March 1 as per the CBA) but the thought of him and Wright …

In the video I answer the following viewer question:
Antonio: Do you think that when healthy the Mets have one of the best lineup in the NL EAST?

After a week of analysis by paralysis of the Super Bowl, the game came down to the same thing all football games come down to, mistakes. The Steelers turned the ball over three time and the Packers converted them into 21 points. If you protect the football and keep penalties to a minimum you’ll win football games. Some other notes on the Super Bowl:
If you’re going to sing the Star …

One of the things I find oddly endearing about Alex Rodriguez is his terminal awkwardness. Even when he’s doing something that should be totally cool, he still manages to look goofy. It kind of humanizes him, in a weird way. And no matter what he does, somebody will always, always, bring up Derek Jeter and say that Jeter would never do whatever A-Rod did.
Like when A-Rod was sitting in a …

MLB.com is pushing their 2011 Authentic Collection now, because well that seems to be what the MLB does. I used to have a really jaded opinion about it, but I’m starting to cross over to indifferent about the entire situation. Anyway, for those you who don’t pay attention to these things, because there is no reason to pay attention to these things, the authentic line refers to anything a player …

Blogger buddy Shannon Shark over at Mets Police has an excellent idea for a new show on SNY called: How I Met The Mets. Below is a proof of concept. Check it out and let me know what you think.

In response to this Super Bowl commercial….

I tweeted the following…Baseball season is officially here!

The Mets selected Pedro Beato out of the Orioles organization in the most recent Winter Leagues meeting. The connections of Beato with the Mets already are pretty funny, but not ha-ha funny. Beato was actually originally drafted into the Mets organization out of high school, but then decided to go to college. When the Mets drafted him in the Rule V, he was on the Norfolk roster, which used to …

It’s amazing that Uncle Saul Katz  didn ‘t end up like Maurie Kessler (a/k/a Maurie’s Wigs) in Goodfella’s. The crew, especially Jimmy The Gent couldn’t take Maurie’s constant talking and ball breaking so they had him snuffed.
It seems Bernie Madoff  felt the same way about Uncle Saul who it seems just couldn’t shut the fuck up about the windfall profits he and his bother in law Freddy Skill Sets were …

Green Bay Packers or the Pittsburgh Steelers? That’s the big question on this Super Bowl Sunday. In the video below some of my fellow Mets bloggers give their thoughts. Watch to hear super bowl predictions from Dave Doyle of Mets Report, Anthony C Wayne of Mets Public Record, Shannon Shark of Mets Police, Randy Medina of Read The Apple, Ceetar of Optimistic Mets Fan, Tanya Mercado of Citi Field of …

Very few things can make it harder to like a person, than association with a terrible event, which is what the Mets are in right now.
I want to write a response to a very particular viewpoint that has been flying around really all winter. The statement is the Mets didn’t spend money this offseason, because they didn’t have it either due to losses from Madoff (before last week) or …

As the days tick down to Spring Training, we finally move into the 40 man roster with Manuel Alvarez, a 25-year old, right-handed pitcher.
Manuel started his career in the Washington Nationals organization. After missing the entire 2005 season due to injury, he pitched in 14 games in the Nationals Gulf Coast Rookie Team. The Mets then signed him in 2007 and assigned him to the VSL. He has bouncing …

From arguably the greatest show in the history of television, McNulty and Bunk checking out a crime scene where a murder was committed, may as well been surveying the owners of the Mets

There’s been so much news about the lawsuit against Sterling by the Madoff trustee this week. Everyone is speculating on the impact it will have on the Mets. Some writers believe this will result in the Wilpons and Katz being forced to sell the team entirely. Others believe that a $300+ million lawsuit is something that Sterling Equities can handle even if they lose.
I put …

Not sure why the Empire State Building was displaying Mets colors last night but figured I’d take a pic with my iPhone…

So the seal has been lifted from the lawsuit brought by the Madoff victim’s trustee against the Skill Sets and everything they own and I’ll tell you the truth, there is so much rhetoric coming from both sides that if a settlement isn’t reached this could drag on for years. My main concern is how does this affect the NY Mets and the operation of the baseball organization from the …

The Washington Nationals just sent out a press release announcing they have agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher J.D. Martin, catcher Carlos Maldonado and first baseman Kevin Barker on minor-league contracts with invitations to Spring Training.
Additionally, the Nationals extended Spring Training invitations to right-handed pitcher Josh Wilkie, left-handed pitcher Matt Chico and catchers

Today’s profile is the last of the non-roster invitees players to go through this series, and for some reason it seems fitting to give that honor to former – Mets killer, Willie Harris. Harris was essentially the 4th OF for the Nationals but for some reason every time he played the Mets he became Willie Mays with his defense and his bat. If the minor league signing of Harris has …

In the video below I’m joined by Matthew Cerrone of Metsblog. Watch as we discuss some thoughts on the upcoming spring training, why Josh Thole could have a surprisingly good year, expectations of Jason Bay and more!
