Mets’ GM Omar Minaya let his Veep of Player Personnel Tony Bernazard go today and he did it poorly. It’s not so much how he broke the actual news to Bernazard, who was let go after among other things recently challenging the Mets’ Double-A players to a fight.
Bernazard even went so far as to take [...]

On The Other, There’s Roy Halladay, An Old Guy Who’s Worth The Investment!
I just posted my absolutely correct opinion that the Phoenix Suns made a huge mistake signing 35 year old Steve Nash to a two year extension that will run out when he’s 38. 38, is 214 in point guard years, especially when you’ve played in the Phoenix speed it up offense.
So, why then do I think Roy [...]

On Opening Day In New York All Is As I Knew It Would Be!
Day one of the baseball season doesn’t mean much. For one thing, there’s another 161 games to go. So, day one doesn’t mean a lot. Unless it does.
If you’re a Mets’ fan you better hope this is how the rest of the year goes. Putz sealing off the eighth and K-Rod doing what he’s supposed [...]

WTF! Yankees Sign Teixeira And Unleash A Bucketful of Questions!
Sports Illustrated is reporting on their web site that the Yankees just got bigger and badder. With money seemingly seemingly flowing like water out of the Bronx this winter, the Yanks just hauled in Mark Teixeira with an eight year, $180 million dollar deal.
Here are some thoughts from a slightly biased Red Sox fan:
This explains [...]

Mets Radio Broadcaster Howie Rose Proves He’s A Company Shill!
Look, I know the days of impartial local sports broadcasting are LONG gone. Baseball teams these days prefer that their radio and tv people are homers all the way.
I was driving around today and tuned into the Mets for a few minutes to see how they were going about destroying the rest of their season. [...]

Johan Santana IS An Ace After All!
Yes, it’s odd, but I’m a Red Sox and Mets fan. I must love suffering at the hands of the Yankees. Anyway… that’s ancient history right now.
About half way through this season, a good friend of mine who’s a big Yankee fan, asked me if I was happy with Johan Santana. At that point, Santana hadn’t [...]

Tale of Two (Baseball Cities)! AKA – Will There Be Another 1986?
When it comes to baseball, the year I was most confused was 1986. In the World Series that year, the Boston Red Sox played the New York Mets. I grew up a Mets fan, but at a young age in the mid-70s with the Mets stuck in loser gear, young me decided I need another [...]

Grading Baseball’s Latests Hits – 3 Managers Bite The Dust!
What a week it’s been for Major League Baseball fans. Three managers bit the dust within moments of each other in some kind of crazy “tag, you’re it” manager firing orgy. Does that last sentence make any sense? No matter. The point is baseball fans haven’t seen this much blood since Nolan Ryan pounded a head [...]

Here’s What No One Is Saying About Willie Randolph’s Firing!
What a strange thing to wake up today and hear that Willie Randolph had been fired at three in the morning NY time. The Mets have spent the 24 hours since getting beaten up for the classless way they handled Randolph’s termination. The criticism is all more than due the Mets organization. After stringing him along [...]
