They will exceed both their fans and MLB experts pre season expectations when all is said and done.

The Mets traded their closer David Robertson early this morning to the Miami Marlins in exchange for two rookie league minor league teenagers.

It’s only Spring Training, but it’s still impressive watching the New York Mets roll out Max Scherzer and Jacob DeGrom.

On Monday afternoon, I heard Bruce Jacobs discuss how one of his dogs got "skunked" over the weekend and he doesn't understand how someone is supposed to keep tomato juice in their house to cure the stench. He also dealt out some trash talk for Atlanta Braves fans, in preparation for this week's 4-game series at Citi Field.
