Seriously , not being gay here or anything.....but Dickey has this way about him , he's a word-smith or something.

Strawberry was always mouthy?... why would Youngstown Ohio have a big write up om the Mets?

From Twatter "Darryl Strawberry, who agreed to run up the Empire State Building today for cancer research called in sick"

It's very annoying .....glad to see that other people don't care for it because growing up it seemed everyone that ever talked abut it loved the damn thing.

If Super Secret Seaver doesn't correspond with 4141then the whole concept falls apart, please ensure that it does.

He may or may not play center field for the Mets this year, but if he's still around in 2012, the job is probably his. He is arbitration eligible again next year and then can be a free agent in 2013.

Pagan and Mets agree on a one year deal worth $3.5 million.

Alderson speaks http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/post/_/id/13812/alderson-on-madoff-wilpons

I hear ya Ceetar , the next few months should be a roller coaster of a ride.....

I'm reminded of Freddie Adu when I think about Fernado , I'd hate to see him with a similar career path.......Adu by the way joined a Turkish second division team today.....if Fernando is the oldest 22 year old Adu is the oldet 21 year old ever.

I'll refer to this Waldstein article in the Times last week.....IIRC it was linked here at the site Alderson has said that he was not advised of any financial uncertainties with the Mets when he accepted the job, although he certainly knew that Wilpon and Katz had made substantial investments with Madoff. Alderson also has said he never had any conversations with Selig about such matters. But he has been through this kind of chaos before. Alderson presided over the Padres from 2005 to 2009, a period in which the team�s owner, John Moores, went through a messy divorce and eventually relinquished control of the team. Alderson is a big boy , he'll be fine.... http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/30/sports/baseball/30alderson.html Worst case scenario , or best case scenario depending on how you feel I would think if the Mets do change hands it will be to someone with deep pockets and that Alderson and his crew would remain.

Got to say while there were enough clich�s to fill Citi Fields ample left field I am disappointed not to see the " I'm in the best shape I've ever been in going into a Spring Training " golden nugget oft seen.

This deserves it's own thread........some respect please MLK III issues statement on the Mets MLK III considers buying part of Mets team By Craig Schneider The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Martin Luther King III invoked the spirit of his late father as he confirmed his involvement in discussions to purchase a part of the New York Mets. In a late-night statement released to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday, King said that he hoped that the venture, if successful, would increase diversity among the owners in professional sports. Major league baseball has no African-American owners. �I believe in the merit and American value of creating an example,� King said in the statement, �and if I personally, or as part of a collective, can advance the vision of a more diverse ownership group in professional sports, domestically or internationally, then, like my father, I am prepared to act in that spirit.� He added, �There has been a lot of discussion and speculation about my participation in the acquisition of the New York Mets. The public release of those discussions was premature.� King declined through a spokesman to elaborate on a report in the New York Post that he is collaborating with several major money players in the venture, including Mets legend Ed Kranepool, entrepreneur Donn Clendenon Jr., son of the 1969 Mets World Series MVP; and TV executive Larry Meli. �It�s fitting with the legacy of Jackie Robinson essentially transferring to the Mets; what better place to have African-American ownership than with the Mets,� Meli told the Post. King, 53, is scheduled to come to New York this week to set up a meeting with the owners, who announced Friday they�re looking to sell up to 25 percent of the team, the Post said. Meli told the Post he and his group wants to purchase at least 50 percent of the club. �Martin Luther King Jr. died for the common man to do better in his life,� Meli said. �That sort of legacy is going to take hold here.� To the promised land it is then....don't know about you but when I read that statement I am reading it in full MLK "I have a dream" voice.....

Wilson would never make in in NY with that act.
