    I've read where the NY bars are gonna be open late at night all summer to accomodate the expected influx of Mets fans needing to drown their sorrows.

    Mets are so bad they've already been eliminated in the 2012 season.

    Grote- How many torn ACL's are you up to now? We need to keep track of the pulled hammies as well. Something tells me the Mets will lead the NL in both categories again this year.

    They will also now lead the NL for Most Worst Bullpen now that Oliver Perez has moved to the pen. Just sayin'

    No way! Did they cut Perez... Solid move if they really did. I was actually very impressed that they parted ways with Luis Castillo. Maybe things up in Queens really are turning around.

    My reply to him after reading the web site.


    Well the Mets could bring up the AAA, AA, A, and Rookie league players for the season. They have to develop any way.
    That could be encouraging.

    Well, as long as we all agree that Clay Dalrymple was truly the best catcher of that era, then I've got no problem with the debate on who may have been second best.
