Did I just wake up from a great dream? It’s been almost two months since the 2010 season ended, and the Mets organization has transformed the organization from the top down. Some of the great franchises in the game (such as Yankees and Rays) use a group of bright front office personnel to make those important decisions [...]

As the Mets had one of their worst offensive seasons in team history in 2009 scoring only 671 runs, with only 95 HRs. As, compared with 799 runs and 172 HRs the previous year. We have former Mets executive Tony Bernazard to blame, but when David Wright goes yard to the right side for the [...]

It has certainly been a curious case, for free agent Jason Bay, in his first time on the free agent market. He had been offered big money by the Red Sox to lock him up with a franchise that is certain to be in the mix for post season play for many years to come. [...]

For the last few years, all we have been hearing out of the Mets farm system is about Fernando Martinez as the next big thing.

In growing up in the suburbs in New York, the friends I had sure influenced my love of sports. Unlike the days of today with kids in year round school, the summers were long and you had to find something to do to pass the time. One summer we decided we would become the kids [...]
