A Request Of Marty Noble
I'm not here to completely pan Marty Noble's latest ode to "grit > talent". But there's one passage of the piece that has me curious: Two winters ago, after the drudgery of the Mets' 2009 season and more evidence that the team required an infusion of character more than additional talent, one...
Let's Go to the Videotape: Remember '88
I am a huge fan of the Mets Yearbook series on SNY. These season recaps are interesting time capsules and rare ones as well, considering the paucity of MLB footage from the 1960s and 1970s. I also like how you can tell a year was an especially bad one for he team when the special spends as much...
David Wright!
This season seems longer than the others. Remember when we all got riled up about how stupid Steve Phillips was? Simpler times. Do you remember this? Omar Minaya, regarding the club's lack of an edge. I think he confused edge and leadership. Judging by how the Mets performed in each of the past...
Worst Of The Web: Unpanic Edition
In an effort to discourage bad Mets discussion on the internet (yes, impossible), I'm going to start openly mocking. This one is just a test run. Think of it as the site bot scouring the internet for the next "I love Johjima!". First up, from the edge department, Marty Noble: Was it coincidence...
Productive Gangsta Outs>Hits
Marty Noble brings out all of our favorite cliches, just in time for the spring! Among the defeats the Mets endured during their September slide last season was one that particularly distressed their manager, because he was certain that it could have been averted had his hitters not adhered to...
Fish in a Stolen Barrel: Fun with the Mets.com Mailbag
With the winter meetings coming up, it seems like a good time to revisit the glories of offseasons past, right? At least that's the idea that one fan writing to Marty Noble had earlier this week. Which offseason do you think was the best in the Mets' history? With Kevin McReynolds and David Cone...
Help Wanted: Research Assistant for Marty Noble
With apologies for stepping on Jessica's toes here, in his latest mailbag, Marty Noble gets asked a pretty dumb question: What do you think about bringing back Oliver Perez as a closer? He is a strikeout pitcher who thrives in pressure situations, and he would come cheaper than Francisco...
More Fish in the Barrel: Fun with the mets.com Mailbag
This week? Not particularly fun, to say the least. The offseason is now officially upon us, free agency filing has begun, and the Reality-Challenged Trade Proposals are about to increase in number while growing even crazier. However, for the Mets fan that writes to Marty Noble, there are more...
Fish, Barrel, Shoot: Fun with the mets.com Mailbag
I have a very low tolerance for the utterance of stupidity. Therefore, I tend to avoid listening to WFAN for anything other than game broadcasts and never turn on my TV for a night game before 6:30 lest the final moments of Loud Mouths induce an urge to fling my remote at the screen. There is one...
