The New York Mets were off to a red hot 4-0 start, but drop their first game of the 2012 season. Not the only loss, David Wright suffered a broken pinkie.
At various, likely random intervals throughout the season, I will be updating the New York Mets 2012 Hope-O-Meter. This meter, which has a standard 0-10 scale, will represent the optimism of the Mets faithful that the season won’t be a huge embarrassing failure. Well, after a somewhat impressive 1-0 win over the Atlanta Braves, the official Hope-O-Meter reading is a stellar 7.25.
I used to think the NY sports fan was more intelligent than any other. I used to think the NY sports fan wasn't dumbed down like many seem to be. By "dumbed down", I mean not just the usual talking points that circulate and frankly are boring...
Spring Training is winding down, and the competition is heating up (kind of). Kick start the tumbleweed and cue the Western music, it's time for another edition of Mets Spring Training: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Ok Met fans you didn't think it could get worse-well it's gotten worse. The 1st baseman might have valley fevor. The 3rd baseman is already hurt. The seasons opening day starter got lit up. The owners look like they will have to come up with millions to pay for others losing millions to crook Bernie Madoff...
With March Madness in full effect, it may be difficult for some to keep a close eye on Port St. Lucie and the New York Mets. Well, that’s why I’m here, with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from Mets camp.
For every Yankee fan who is still not over the initial shock of Cliff Lee taking his talents to Philly, there should be at least two Mets fans who are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel get further and further away.
