Lets talk about the New York Mets

The New York Mets have choked on the last day of the regular season to see if they make it into the post season. Now don't get me wrong i am a die hard Mets fan, but i do believe that the two past seasons they have been choke artists. Two seasons ago it was the offense towards the end of the season. Last season it was no longer the offense but the bullpen that blew 29 saves. This year they have corrected the bullpen issue with landing francisco rodriguezd as the Mets closer and have added J.J. Putz as the setup man. The pitching staff was a few changes but for the most part is the same one that went out there last year just a little better. Johan will have his second year in New York which is only going to make him better and then with the addition of one of the best closers in baseball that will save the games lsat years bullpen couldn't save for him which was at least 7. Mike Pelfrey will be in his third year of playing and if you believe in the 3rd year stand-by then you know this is the year that he will break out year. Oliver Perez hopefully not having to worry about pitching for a contract will calm down and pitch well. John Maine had off season surgery to remove a bone spur that the doctors called, "the biggest one they've ever seen", so far this spring training he said his arm was feeling great and a lot better from last year which was pain with every pitch. The 5th spot At the moment is up in the air. The likely candidates are Freddy Garcia, Jon Neise. The offense of the Mets is the same as it was last year with the addition of Daniel Murphy playing full-time left field. Luis Castillo has over the off-season lost 18 pounds and is in great shape, which should help him come back from a dreadful year in New York leading to him being on the DL on and off. The Mets this year i think will finally pull it together and make it to the post season and possibly win the World Series Championship.

Lets go Mets

  1. I love the Mets...and until recently I wasn't well versed in the world of fantasy baseball but I started checking it out and I definitely see why people can get into it!

    Schlotzsky's is actually running a contest until May 31st, and you can win free fantasy baseball teams from Sim Dynasty (simdynasty.com), a trip to St. Louis, and other baseball stuff. There's also a severely addicting game on the site (www.bigleagueclubz.com) - you have been warned! Haha.
