Merely the Painfully Obvious

It's not helpful to be absurdly impatient. Baseball is a long season, and being two games under .500 in May is really meaningless. It's easy to call for the heads of Jerry Manuel and Omar Minaya. Met fans, though, aren't so stupid. We merely notice the painfully obvious. Like re-signing...

Turn Up the Music

Is there any irony in the fact that we've been bemoaning our injuries this year, and the difficulty of making moves given the economic Madoff mess that affected the Mets.

Thrown Out of Shea

Editor's Note: This is MetsFanSZ's first contribution to this site. - M.S. The demise of Shea Stadium this week evoked memories of Mets fans everywhere of great times at "our dump." Most likely centered around the miracle of 1969, perhaps Swoboda's fantasy diving catch or Cleon's genuflection on Davey Johnson's...
