On The Fifth Day of Christmas…
Well, That Was an Interesting Turn of Events…
November 14th, 2012 by slangon
So apparently the Florida Miami Marlins have finished shipping off anyone that was making any money on that team. Now Jose Reyes is a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. Oddly enough, this turn of events actually makes me pretty happy. I feel like now I can go back to rooting for Jose. When he […]
Mets Through the Years: Shortstop
September 11th, 2012 by slangon
In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the New York Mets, I’ve been looking at the primary players at each position throughout the teams history. We’ve already looked at the managers, Opening Day starting pitchers, catchers, first basemen, second basemen, and third basemen, as well as all of the Mets’ All-Star representatives. Today, we’ll be looking […]
You Gotta Take It Where You Can Get It, I Guess
July 29th, 2012 by slangon
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 […]
Mets Through the Years: The All-Star(s), 2011
July 12th, 2012 by slangon
By the time the 2011 season came around, things had been pretty dismal in Mets land for a while. There were a few bright spots on the horizon though. Sandy Aldreson and crew had brought in a new philosophy and Terry Collins seemed to be able to translate that philosophy into the clubhouse pretty well. […]
Mets Through the Years: The All-Star(s), 2010
July 12th, 2012 by slangon
As bad as 2009 was for Mets fans, it seems like 2010 was even worse. I don’t know why I say that. The numbers are pretty comparable but I just seem to remember being way more miserable in 2010. They did manage to send 2 franchise favorites to the Mid-Summer Classic that year. Hmmm… Did […]
Mets Through the Years: The All-Star(s), 2007
July 12th, 2012 by slangon
There was still high expectations for the Metsies in 2007, as is evidenced by the 4 players they sent to the Mid-Summer Classic that year, 3 of which were voted in as starters. Carlos was once again in the starting outfield for the N.L.er’s. He went 1 for 3 with a triple and a run […]
I Guess That’s One Way to Stop a Losing Streak
June 28th, 2012 by slangon
In case you didn’t hear, yesterday the Mets beat the Cubs by the score of 17-1. In honor of that feat, here are 17 Mets cards that were part of a massive, 109 card order that I picked up off of Sportlots recently. Enjoy. And just to be fair, the Cubbies did score one run, […]

There is No Joy in Mudville
December 5th, 2011 by slangon
And I’m not talking about the particularly crushing defeat of the Giants by the Packers last night. My beloved Jose Reyes, my favorite player on my favorite team, is now a former player of my favorite team. And to make matters worse, he is now a member of the team that I possibly hate the […]
