So the Mets lost again last night. No big surprise there. It’s been almost 3 weeks since the All-Star game and the team has managed to win 2 games. Depressing. Rather than just be all doom and gloom, I’ve decided that I’m going to just look at the silver lining. For instance during last night’s […]

2009 SlangKo Heroes of the Diamond Jim Fregosi Of course, the man that was Nolan Ryan was traded for, along with 3 other players. A 6 time All-Star, all before coming to the Mets. Like a lot of guys the Mets pick up, he was really good with the Angels, not so much with the […]
