At the 5:00 p.m. EST airing of the show Daily News Live!, the Mets begin transmission of Sportsnet New York, which will become better known as SNY. The club modeled the team-owned network after similar regional cable television ventures by the Red Sox (NESN, 1984) and the Yankees (YES, 2002).

Mack’s Blast From The Past comes from 3-16-12 – Mack’s March Mock Draft.  Mack had the Mets picking OF Courtney Hawkins – big speedy bat who throws 91 at #12; C Alex Bregman - also plays 2B and SS at #35; Blue Jays getting SS Gavin Cecchini – another excellent middle infielder with skills at #22.  He also noted Marcus Stroman; Michael Wacha; and Carlos Correa.

    Matt Harvey could well make the Orioles. He would not make the Mets.

    Can Shohei Ohtani win the MVP - and Cy Young - this year? My guess is neither, but it will be interesting to see what he can do.

    The Mets are boringly good right now. The Brooklyn Nets without Durant has won, I believe, 13 of 14. Boy, all that winning is boring.

    Ernest, it would be funny if suddenly Oswalt figured it all out, because there is no room at the Inn.

    Thanks Tom. Hope the best for Harvey. He gave his career so the Mets could get to the WS until bad defense and base running caught up with them.

    John...Don't forget the Duda crazy throw - it is currently sailing past Saturn on its way to Pluto.
