I wasn't bashing the Met fans, I was agreeing with your statement.

But quite frankly, the Met outfield is a joke.
Such a joke, that when Sandy Alderson was asked about his outfield, his response was "What outfield?".
I'm sure the fact that the Mets have done nothing to improve their biggest weakness has you angry.
Just don't be angry at me, be angry at Sandy!

I'm not angry at you (see the smiley face)! I too think the management is a joke and think the Mets should just sit out this season.

I'm happy to bring Met fans even more bad news.
:-)
Atlanta has just acquired Justin Upton from the Diamondbacks in a 7 player trade.
Since we were talking about outfields, let's look at Atlanta's
BJ Upton, Justin Upton, Jason Heyward
When you compare that to the Met outfield, ouch!
Hell, even the Marlins have Giancarlo Stanton in their outfield!
Mac, grab your glove, you're going in!

Braves offense is going to be TOUGH!! And what do the Mets do...they tap free agent Marcum for rotation vacancy. Thanks alot Sandy!!

I'm game for joining in the Mets bashing...I mean banter, but can we talk about something other than their outfield? The Phillies outfield isn't a looking a whole lot better.

Mets sign Latroy Hawkins to a minor league deal today. Guess it can't hurt the bullpen...another 40 year old veteran.
:-) :-)

Woohoo...another youngster!

I was watching Discovery Channel today 'how to catch a smuggler' and had to think of Mac when one of the custom guys said '90% of the criminals in NYC that wear a cap are wearing a Yankees cap'

Thought I'd stop by one of my favorite forums...Mets Basher...er Banter....always best to start with a joke...
Q: Why did the Post Office recall their latest stamps?
:-)
A: They had pictures of Mets players on them and people couldn't figure out which side to spit on.

Mets start spring training off right by beating the Nats, 5-3. Tejeda homers off Strasburg in the first...we'll take wins any way we can get them.

Mets tie the Astros today 7-7. Hey, it isn't a loss.

Jinxed us Dom....as we lose to the Nats 6-4 yesterday. We were down 5-1 and made a comeback in the 8th.

Mets go down to the Marlins 7-5 this afternoon. Mejia gets lit up in his spring training debut...guess he's not making the opening day roster.

Mets pitching staff is showing a preview this afternoon of the upcoming 2013 season. Two no name pitchers (Gorski and Torres) give up four runs each while walking three in two innings of work. This season is gonna be hard to watch.

It sure is gonna be a long season.....

Mets and the Nats play to a 4-4 tie after 10 innings.
