Days Until And

My Thoughts on the Mets Going Forward: Starting Pitching
December 7th, 2010 by slangon

Right now the Winter Meetings are going on in Orlando. So far, Sandy Alderson has made it pretty clear that the Mets will not be making any big impact moves this off-season and if they walk away from those meeting with anything, it will be either be a reclamation project, such as Chris Young or […]

You’re Killin’ Me, San Francisco.
November 1st, 2010 by slangon

I’m just going to stop talking about how I’m utterly shocked that the Giants keep winning. Of course they keep winning. Apparently that’s what they do. Apparently the Giants are the best team ever. Apparently all it took was sticking Cody Ross, Edgar Renteria, Freddy Sanchez, Pat Burrell and Juan Uribe on the same team […]

It Just Keeps Getting Better.
October 20th, 2010 by slangon

Apparently I have much more success rooting for teams that I don’t really root for than I do rooting for my own team. Yesterday was another great day for those of us hoping to not see a replay of last years World Series. The Rangers continued to absolutely dominate the Yankees. 4 more homers in […]

Dare I Say It? I’m Actually Enjoying This Post-Season
October 19th, 2010 by slangon

I was thinking that the Rangers might win last night, but I really wasn’t expecting that particular outcome. I almost feel bad for Andy Pettitte. I mean, outside of that mistake pitch in the 1st to Josh Hamilton he pitched really, really well. I guess too bad for him that Clifford Lee pitched really, really, […]

Let’s Go Rangers
October 15th, 2010 by slangon

Now that I’m a full-blown Texas Rangers fan (until they either win the World Series or get knocked out of the playoffs) I thought I’d support the boys in the first game of the ALCS against the evil empire Yankees tonight by sharing some cards from my extensive Texas Rangers collection. Go Rangers! Gums.

An Appropriate Way to End It
October 4th, 2010 by slangon

Well, the 2010 baseball regular season has come to an end. There was excitement for some, nail biting for others and, for many teams and fans, bitter disappointment. I guess as a Mets fan, I’ve had a few months to get comfortable with the idea of yet another October free of baseball games that actually […]

Some Home Grown Goodness
August 11th, 2010 by slangon

In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t spent a whole lot of time recently addressing the trials and tribulations of the New York Mets, other than to occasionally throw out an exasperated comment here and there. I guess that happens when you have a team that was looking pretty good prior to the All-Star break, […]

Better Late than Never…
August 30th, 2009 by slangon

My apologies to Nachos Grande for not getting this stuff up sooner. Anyway, a while back he and I worked out one of those trades that doesn’t necessarily make for sexy blogging, but is what collections are built upon. No big hits here. No autographed, serial numberd, triple relic rookie cards of Hall of Famers. […]
