Home runs in spring training mean nothing. Unless you're Freddy Garcia, and Chris Duncan hits one off of you that the IAEA wants to investigate. That home run was hit so far that it's currently rolling down the street in Buffalo. Guess who isn't going to be that far behind that ball? Oh, and what's ...

JM: Hey Danny! DM: Yes coach? JM: I've got great news for you. I've decided to make you my left fielder. DM: That is great news. Thanks, coach! RC: And what for me, coach? I'm all better now from my headaches. JM: Oh Churcherella, you know I just can't just give you 162 games and say "you're my righ...

Answer me this: Do you really want to know who else is on this "A-Rod list?" Do you really want to know who tested positive for the juice in '03? I'd rather not. They say that nobody who is exposed as a juicer should surprise you anymore. And I thought: "Well, if a good portion of the 2003 Mets were...

... to Pedro Feliciano, for his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Who knew? I believe that makes him the first lefty specialist to get into Canton. Ray Guy must be pissed. As long as we're on a football theme, I guess you want a Super Bowl prediction from someone who calls himself a soot...

Disclaimer: R-rated joke lies ahead: One of my favorite moments in the Verducci/Torre book is about Roger Clemens as he prepared to face the Mets in Game 2 of the 2000 World Serious. Verducci writes that Clemens’ usual pregame preparation included taking a whirlpool bath at the hottest temperature...

With the latest technology our crack staff was able to simulate what would have happened if Jeff Kent had just acted like the rookie he was and had just worn the damn clown suit. Now that he's retired, the question becomes whether Kent is a Hall of Famer. Excuse me for not saying nice things about a...

Because an abundance of off-season blog posts aren't in the budget anymore (stupid sub-prime loans!) The Mets have apparently offered Tim Redding a contract to be the next pitcher to lose the last game of the season and knock the Mets from the playoffs. Then he'll have more time to work on that golf...

I gotta hand it to the Mets: Only they can find a way to be screwed by Carlos Silva without even signing him. Derek Lowe has invoked the name of Silva as some sort of garlic clove that the great Wilpon vampire is supposed to be scared of. Lowe turned down a 3 year $36 million deal because that would...

It seems to me that the excitement surrounding K-Rod has been a bit muted. After all, the Mets got their big fish last winter in Johan Santana and Met fans were so excited that they were stripping down to their underwear and diving into vats of Crisco ... and where did it get them? Besides acne, it ...

Don't worry ... there's plenty of winter left for the Mets to screw things up. But I have to briefly come to their defense. It was counterproductive in the winter of 2006 to let go of Chad Bradford, who was a huge part of the Mets bullpen when the team won the N.L. East. Since then, the bullpen has ...
