But I kept that part of my history hidden from my children. And while my Bronx-born wife rooted for Mickey's team, I raised our kids properly - to be Mets fans. Later

Great job by the Yankees furthering the culture of "Participation Trophies" by giving a monument to the worst defender of all time. Its appropriate. He had the defensive range of a monument. Later

We always commented on Colon's weight. Here's a way for him to lose some pounds. Hit a lot of balls in the gap, and he'll have to run to back up third base. LGM. Later

Blame me. I jinxed him in his prediction thread. Its my fault. Everything is my fault. At least, that's what my wife tells me. Later

Mets Worrisome Things 2017 Will Steven’s arm be constantly smitten? And not playing the kids makes us so mad that we’re spittin’. Will we get the bad Jay Bruce or the one from this Spring? Those are a few of my worrisome things. Will Lucas Duda drive in runs by the oodles? Will Wheeler’s fixed arm be as limp as a noodle? Will they get a full year from the two outfield wings? Those are a few of my worrisome things. Will young Conforto prove he's a hitter? And will unforseen injuries dump the year in the shitter? Will Legares’s torn muscles hurt when he swings? Those are a few of my worrisome things. But if they can resolve just a few of those things And then I won’t feel so bad Later

I saw one of their exhibition games last week. One of their outfielders was wearing a 90-something number. His name is Mel Rojas (Jr). I had hoped I would never see that name again. Later

90-72 Second in the East (They can't hit those f'n Nats pitchers) Leverage wild card to NL finals when LA eliminates the Nats and the Mets beat LA. Kick the crap out of the Cubs for the NL crown and beat Houston in the World Series. Later

Even if he were to announce his post season retirement before he joins the active roster, I doubt he'd get a year long fellatiation like that MFY infielder got. So he'll make an attempt to play some minor league games, then announce his retirement in a very professional manner. He'll announce some sort of long term deal with the club so he can stay with the organization in an off field capacity. Later

He'll trade his Las Vegas uniform for another major league one in June. Later
