That's what made this site different.<br /><br />I agree with you about the Thanksgiving analogy. Nothing made me happier than watching Game 1 in last year's World Series... and it din't bother me when Lucas Duda thew the ball away to home. It was a great year that I never thought I would ever see again in my lifetime.<br /><br />And frankly, I and probably a lot others out there are still a little 'full'.Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-56705708323729597662016-03-31T17:28:04.073-04:002016-03-31T17:28:04.073-04:00Metsiac -

There's a political site I go to...but usually only when I'm mad about something. When you're mad about something, you want to hang with people who are just as mad as you are. And if they aren't...then what the heck is wrong with those people?<br /><br />Coming off a largely unexpected appearance in the Series, it's like everyone just finished Thanksgiving dinner. You don't immediately start hungering for Christmas dinner. You don't even want to think about food for a while. You're stuffed. If the Mets open poorly, I'd bet your readership will go up. If they open well, it probably won't. That's just human nature. Spring Training doesn't count because, well, Spring Training doesn't count. Even then, during a long spell in the baseball desert, people want to gather and talk in the spring because, once the season starts, hope flies rapidly out the window if you've been a losing team.<br /><br />Like the ten-year-old kid who never spoke, though doctors could never figure out why. One day, at dinner, he says "Pass the salt." Jaws drop. "Son, you haven't spoken a word in all these years." "Well, yeah," the kid says. "Everything's been fine up 'til now."Stubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010142558613227433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-31800664223105002532016-03-31T15:50:43.685-04:002016-03-31T15:50:43.685-04:00Unfortunately, it seems negativity turns out the c...Unfortunately, it seems negativity turns out the crowds. Not just here, but on other sites that invite comments, there are those who only post to complain about the manager, GM, owners, and various players. I'd bet that if Cespedes hadn't returned, for example, we'd be seeing a lot more posts. But things may percolate starting Monday, if the team should get off to a less-than-perfect start. We'll see.<br /><br />Meanwhile, tonight's game from Las Vegas vs the Cubs is scheduled to be televised on the MLB Network at 8:00 EDT.Sewald, a LV native, gets the start in place of Jake (a nice gesture by the Mets). This is a chance for those who haven't seen the stadium there to check it out.bill metsiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927989716664234035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-5756594453581645692016-03-31T15:32:49.864-04:002016-03-31T15:32:49.864-04:00Bob

If guys in the infield stay reasonably healthy, whoever it is won't play much...Flores will suction up most of the games the 4 starting IFs sit out.

Now there are 10+ other sites that do that, with editors that are younger, attend the games, and know the players.<br /><br />Additionally, Mack's Mets has moved toward the center and has much more info on the 25-man Queens team.<br /><br />Lastly, we have also lost some great writers like Stephen Guilbert and Christopher Soto. Both turned out quality posts.<br /><br />I don't know... I look upon this now as my job on a newspaper under the rumored threat of closing its doors.<br /><br />SadMack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-42705393925812271722016-03-31T10:18:58.092-04:002016-03-31T10:18:58.092-04:00I think the passion generated by ...
