Mack Ade – Morning Report – 3-31-13

       

Well, $40 more came in and the donation total with one day to do in March is $420. We fell $80 short but what a month! Thanks again and I won’t bother you again until the season is over and we’re drowning in our beers J. Again, thank you all and God bless.

Thanks to Tommy2Cat for talking into dropping my article on a possible racial divide in the Mets minor league clubhouse. Subjects like this one are hard to confirm and even harder to write about and I don’t want to get lopped in with all the radical Mets bloggers out there. I don’t need an excuse to piss off the 17 readers I got left here, right J

The regular season starts next week and so does the format at Mack’s Mets. The 8am post will remain but it will be followed up to 12noon with the results and details of the four full season minor league teams from the night before. This will then be followed by original articles from the other Mack’s Mets writers and the day will end with draft stuff.
