The New York Daily News reiterated the Mets’ interest in free agent starter Jon Lieber this morning. Liebs turns 38 in April. He’s probably just as good as Livan Hernandez, but less durable. The Mets’ interest in Lieber […]

Can This Year Actually Be The Year?

The Team. The Time. The New York Mets.
Your Season has come.
Those slogans did not work, and were embarrassments to the Mets. We have not done anything to be the team, nor have we done anything to symbolize that your season has come. All we have done is come tremendously close to success, only to fall […]

Ryan Knuppel at sports-evo.com writes about how the Mitchell report doesn’t really mean much:
What did it really accomplish?
The only thing this report really accomplished was 100% tarnishment of some names. Good work Mitchell. The other thing this might do is put a little more pressure on the players union to take some responsibility and […]
