Sane Planning, Sensible Tomorrow
I'm not sure what the Mets can do right. By that, I mean I'm not sure what they can do that won't be taken as a cue to bash them. The recent announcement of changes to CitiField's outfield dimensions--which fans and writers alike have been clamoring for for years--was met with a collective groan....
Dumb Imitates Life
We've already reached the silly stage in the Jose Reyes Offseason Sweepstakes, where the shortstop's every move is interpreted much the same way May Day Parade formations once were by Kremlinologists. The Mets front office is quiet. Reyes' camp is quiet. We know of many teams rumored to be...

The Yankees have more money to spend, but the Mets can offer Sabathia the opportunity to step into the batter's box every fifth day. Sabathia is from California and many...
Monday Applesauce
At MetsGeek, Alex Nelson looks at some of the Mets' recent draftees who are playing in the low minors right now. After delaying his own return by a couple of days, Luis Castillo is expected to be activated from the disabled list in time for tonight's game against the Astros. John Maine is in...
