Man, time is getting short. The Mets have 9 games to go and I’ve got 3 positions left to do. Fingers, don’t fail me now. 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 […]

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 […]

Thanksgiving is upon us, and I have to say, this is one of my favorite holidays of the year. It combines all the cool things (stuffing yourself on food and booze, watching foosball all day and hanging with family) but doesn’t have a lot of the stressful things involved in other holidays like Christmas (figuring […]

So, September is upon us. This weekend is Labor Day already. We all know what that means. Even though there’s officially still 19 days left of the summer, it’s over. This is the last hoorah. For the Mets, that means 27 games left to play, and considering that they’re 22 games behind in the N.L. […]

The Mets are preparing to play to the Detroit Tigers in a few minutes. Jose Reyes will be at his usual spot leading off and playing short. Today is the 1,000th time he will be doing that as a Major Leaguer, all of which occurred while wearing a Mets uniform. Here’s to hoping for a […]

I don’t care what everyone says. I’ll miss you and your awesome right arm. Just when I was learning how to spell your name correctly, too. By the way, I can’t believe I only have one card of Frenchy as a Met scanned.

I hope they have a sports bar near the beach. There’s nothing I love more than spending the morning at the beach, then sitting in the shady confines of a bar, eating something greasy and good for lunch, downing a couple of cold ones and watching a baseball game. Too bad there’s no day games […]

So it’s finally here. I guess technically yesterday was the season opener, but really who cares about the defending world champs playing against their bitter rivals at one of the oldest ballparks in the country. SNORE! Right now as I type this, we’re looking at roughly 3 hours until Johan Santana throws the first pitch […]

This is the last of the posts highlighting my Christmas acquisitions, namely the box of ’07 Bowman Heritage I got from Dave and Adam’s Card World. Just to keep people from being terribly bored by this post, I will stick to just the good stuff. Before I get into it though, some quick thoughts / […]
