Meet the Mets
The Mets lost again, teasing us with their early leads and runners on base, but, in the end, disappointing us with another one-run failure. A frustrated Terry Collins sat down with his squad following the game which, as predicted in that link by Ted, is being interpreted as a managerial "ripping" by the more hyperbolic members of the New York media.
Jason Fry reminds us of all the good signs so far in the early season. Of course, people like John Harper insist on condemning the entire squad during this slump.
Mixed news from the minor leagues. The good news: Jenrry Mejia and Jeurys Familia each had outstanding outings. The bad news: Darrell Ceciliani and Fernando Martinez are both out with injuries.
Speaking of injuries, Chris Young will have to miss a start tomorrow because of a sore arm. DJ Carrasco will make the spot start in his place.
Blaine Boyer thinks he can make an MLB squad and has chosen free agency instead of Buffalo.

Outside MLB
We've got a clip from Norm MacDonald's new Sports Show where he gets Blake Griffin to be very very bad at basketball. It's awesome because it's like how I play the game.
