David Stearns took over the New York Mets on Monday, as their new president of baseball operations. Besides being force-fed general manager Billy Eppler by owner Steve Cohen, it appears that Stearns will have free rein.

The saying goes something like 'you can take the New Yorker out of New York but you can't the New York out of...' Well, you get the idea. Now let's apply that same philosophy to the "Charlie Brown" of major sports franchises, the New York Mets. Can anyone really save the Mets from themselves? David Stearns, a Mets fan from Manhattan, will be next up to have that unenviable task.

Mets' fans who are sick of the Wilpon family calling the shots got some good news today. ESPN's Jeff Passan reports there is an agreement in place that would see Fred and Jeff Wilpon handing over control of the New York Mets in five years.

As a life long Met fan I know all about rebuilding. I also know about being cheap and tight with a buck. This Met ownership is the Latter not the former. I give you Zach Wheeler and Jeremy Hefner as the latest examples. The Mets are trying to sell their shrinking fan base Jeremy Hefner...

As soon as I saw a story claiming that undisclosed sources say New York Mets first baseman Ike Davis could be traded, the red flag went up. Being the Mets fan I am, I checked it out. To no surprise it takes shots at Ike's "coachabilty" and Ike's "party life...

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...

Somehow, it has gone from really bad, to even worse for Mets Nation. According to reports, the Mets are cutting ties with their Rookie-level affiliate in Kingsport, Tennessee. The Mets don’t appear to have any plans to join forces with another club; by all accounts they will be completely removed from the league.

After a week of nothing but bad news, the Mets finally received some good news on Friday morning. Someone is actually willing to purchase a part of this floundering franchise!

Fred Wilpon, the principal owner of the New York Mets, made some ridiculous statements about his own team.
