I had forgotten about the Miserable Mets for awhile - you know, because they're not in the news making quality FA signings and any roster improvements.

Then my buddy (a Yankee fan) gives me this Christmas gift in anticipation of my first child being born in a couple of months.



On the tie, it says "#1 Mets Dad". Would anyone want that title these days?

Is there any way they can skip playing this season and just work on the team for 2013?

They just aren't going to spend any more money. Today, some article on CNNSI compared the Mets' Wilpons to the Dodgers' McCourt. Yikes! The only good news is if MLB forces the Wilpons to sell.

It's a shame. Citi Field is a really nice venue (even moreso if you happen to be a 1950s Dodgers fan), but expensive. Really expensive when you think of the garbage they'll be trotting out this year.

I just don't believe Ike is the permanent solution at 1B. His glove is fine, but he doesn't hit for enough power (HRs, RBIs, etc). Hell none of the Mets hit for power.

I don't dislike the Yankees, but some Yankee fans do make me crazy.

My folks were Brooklyn Dodgers fans. When the Dodgers moved, they didn't root for the Yankees or the Mets. Growing up, I watched both the Yankees and the Mets. I became more of a Mets fan probably because of Doc Gooden's nasty curveball, Straw's easy swing and Hernandez's mustache (just kidding, although it is still awesome).

The Mets and Yankees never played each other (until the inter-league play started), so there was no reason to hate the Yankees. They weren't rivals.

Mac, statements like this make me want to drive to VA just to slap you!

Ike is 24 years old, a baby!
In 183 career games, most of which were in cavernous Citi Field, he's hit 26 hr and driven in 96 runs.
What in that sample leads you to believe he won't hit enough?

The Mets should pray they find another 24 players just like Ike!!!
