Amazin' Avenue, a New York Mets community

With Pat Misch as the likely next starter on the depth chart, it would've been really nice to not have one of the team's top pitchers slip on a banana peel or something and leave yesterday's game in the third inning. I just can't wait for this team to match up with the Phillies this weekend.

Would you look at that? It rained again. But, at least this time they were able to play some baseball and the Mets snagged a victory at the expense of the Cubs.

That thud you heard from all the way in Chicago was the Mets dropping a turd in the first game after owner Fred Wilpon's unhinged remarks to Jeffrey Toobin were published. But, don't worry, there is still a lot more Wilpon to come in the next few days.

Meet the Mets Day two of the Fred Wilpon/Jeffrey Toobin sh**ty storm and it promises to get even better today as Wilpon has an upcoming appearance in this week's Sports Illustrated where he tells...

I haven't read the article yet, but Jeffrey Toobin has a headline-grabbing feature story in the New Yorker on Met owner Fred Wilpon. From what I gather, Freddy seems to be listening to a little too much WFAN, and not reading enough Amazin' Avenue.

All I have to say, I guess, is "Thanks, Phil Cuzzi". It's strange how things come around. The first thing that came to my mind after watching that play was the Jose Reyes triple double in DC where the umpire blew the call. Things balance out.

That was just plain ugly, but not nearly as ugly as it could have been, considering that the Mets won the game.

The big league people didn't play last night and the wannabe big leaguers sure wished that they had been given the night off too. To be fair to Buffalo, at least, half of that team is now in Queens, so they at least have an excuse.

It's been a while since I've seen the Mets get as unlucky as they did yesterday, but it certainly wasn't just luck that was responsible for that loss. Jason Pridie, Ryota Igarashi, and Terry Collins can all share some of the blame, if I had to pick just a few.
