Smallthoughts: Rant of the Week…Mickey Callaway

If the Mets make the post season, it will be in spite of Mickey Callaway’s game management. If the Mets don’t make the post season it will be because of Mickey Callaway’s game management. Unless the Met offense can win every game out 10-0 Mickey Callaway is going to have to make decisions in a

Smallthoughts: Rant of the Week…Yoenis Cespedes

This falls under the category of you can’t make this up. While addressing the state of Mickey Callaway’s job status, Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen announced that Yoenis Cespedes fractured his right ankle in a fall on his ranch and no he didn’t fall off his horse. Cespedes was recovering from surgery on both heels

Smallthoughts: Rave of the Week …Pitchers and Catchers

It’s the day we as fans wait for all winter …the day pitchers and catchers report. It is the first sign that the long winter’s end is in sight and that spring is on it’s way and hope springs eternal after your team’s not so great performance from last season. Everyone starts the same all

Smallthoughts: Rant of the Week …New York Mets …Jeff Wilpon

It’s easy to harpoon the Mets and especially Jeff Wilpon. The team after a 11-1 start this season has been unwatchable ever since to the point that after GM Sandy Alderson stepped down due to health issues , Jeff Wilpon put together a 3 man GM staff to finish out the season. They need to

Smallthoughts: Rant of the Week

Can we pleas stop with all this talk of the New York Mets trading Jacob De Grom to the Yankees because they…Have to??? I have heard time and time again Yankee fans try hard to make up reasons why the Mets need to trade Degrom to of all places …Yankees. The Mets stink they have

Mets sign Todd Frazier…Did they make the right Move?

The first thing I noticed when Todd Frazier put on his new Mets uniform was his number 21. Of the many players in Mets histoory I can only think of two that worn that number with distinction is Cleon Jones of the 1969 world championship team and more recently Lucas Duda. Now Todd Frazier has

Smallthoughts: Mets Finally Make a Move…Sign Jay Bruce 3 years …39 Million

Smallthoughts: Rant of the Week…New York Mets

Things are not going well out in Queens for the Blue and Orange …coming off a 90 loss season where you traded away many of your players leaving you holes to fill, the last thing you do is tell your fan base you re reducing your payroll by 20 million dollars. Obviously not a smart

Smallthoughts: Some Days It Stinks Being a Met fan

There are days when you as a Met fan scream to high heaven as to why can’t the Mets make moves like this. It stinks being a Met fan in a Yankee world. No matter what the Mets do or in this case didn’t do the Yankees seem to do it and boom blow the
