Here's a fun fact, unless you're a Mets fan: after Monday's two-homer performance, Mark Reynolds(notes) has hit as many home runs in Citi Field this year (4) as David Wright.C'mon, Mess! It's not like you get the most ping pong balls!

Soap Operas
Don't watch them. Probably why I can't watch the Mets.
Even this Bernazard firing can't come off simply. The reporter who breaks the story is lobbying for a job with the front office? Christ, why couldn't we get a simple press conference from Minaya?
"Hi, Tony Bernazard has lost his fucking mind. And his job. Thanks."
Instead we get Minaya babbling like a fool, (I regret what I said, not that I said it, but that I had to say it, do you know what I'm saying???) and another round of conspiracy to hear about. Adam Rubin, here comes your job offer. Probably with SNY's drama department.
Stay tuned. Next week it will be revealed that Jerry Manuel is his own grandmother.

We all thought the last post was the last...
...but when Mike Hampton beats Johan Santana and hits a homerun, then there's a cause to write to.
As well, when it's learned that Omar Minaya was offered Roy Halladay for our garbage prospects! who will never amount to much! then I need to write.
When Tony Bernazard, a Mess executive, challenges one of the Mess' Minor League teams to fight him in hand to hand combat after another loss, I have to write.
WTF is going on there, Mess?!!??!

Of course they would
Give them credit for originality. Balking in the winning run? Fantastic.
Welcome to the new Shea Stadium.

Tom Verducci Writes Words
After consulting his magic 8-ball. (The toy or the cocaine? I'm not sure.)
Regardless, he writes here that your New York Mets will be winning the World Series this year. Which is all well and good, SI curses be damned. But I would have liked to see how Tom thinks the Mets will get around what is shaping up to be an inconsistent rotation, and if he believes the 71 year old right side of Castillo and Delgado will produce anything consistently.
But, using Verducci's reasoning, will a team with an owner suckered into one of history's biggest scams win the World Series?
Ask again later.

Hello, and welcome to 2009
What a pleasant surprise it is to find that a post Joe_bu wrote last April Fool's Day has come to bear the fruit of increased traffic, and some coincidental prognostication.
In April of '08, he wrote:
Watching the Mess take on the Cardinals the other day, Keith Hernandez mentioned how pull-happy David Wright got towards the end of last season. What he forgot to mention was how pull-happy he got at the end of each of the past few seasons. He tightens up almost as much as Mike Piazza, and there's only so much of that the team should tolerate. There's no reason for me to say "only so much as we (as fans) will tolerate" because we're fans, not team managers or GMs who decide who's in the starting nine. I hope that HoJo can convince Wright to keep hitting the ball to right center and not worry about dingers. It's not like we want to see our boy make a jackass of himself in another Home Run Derby anyway (which is what we, as fans, should comment on).
Reyes is looking good. I'd like to see him steal better bases this year. I know it hurts having Castillo not helping, and maybe Castillo should bat seventh or eighth until he gets his bat back. It would've been nice to pick up Orlando Hudson and just eat Castillo's salary. I know, I'm not the GM, and I don't pretend to be.
I don't pay attention to Spring Training performance, just injuries. More from me soon, but 2009 officially starts in April. Let's hope no one gets hurt in the untimely WBC.

Check it out for yourself, if you'd like. Myself, I don't like to look back, but forward to a time of a pitching rotation of "I've lost my way" Maine, "I'm trying to get better" Pelfrey, "I don't know what I'm going to give you today" Perez, "I am not good" Redding, and player to be named later (a phrase that never sat well with me) of "I'm always hurt" Garcia, "I'm too old" Hernandez, and "I'm too young" Niese.Johan Santana to have Tommy John surgery
Ha Ha! A poor April Fools joke? No. A dark prophesy waiting to come true. Yep....
