		<title>Mets did not win Santana trade.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read a blog posting this morning that claimed the Mets won the Johan Santana trade, based on the talent given up, but lost the contract extension. This couldn&#8217;t be any less accurate or more naive. While it is true the players surrendered didn&#8217;t amount to much on the major league level and Santana did [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another look at Mets&#8217; woeful pitching.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ESPN had an interesting post when it examined the starting rotations of the NL East teams. They still have Johan Santana listed as No. 1, which is puzzling. What I found most interesting is that every team&#8217;s No. 3 starter would qualify as the Mets&#8217; No. 1. Edwin Jackson is reportedly on his way to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ike Has Visions Of Post Season Dancing In His Head</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night at the 32nd Annual Thurman Munson Awards Dinner in New York, Daniel Murphy told reporters that expectations for the Mets this season are to make the playoffs. “Expectations for us this year are like any other.

		<title>What would success be to the 2012 Mets?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On this, the 50th anniversary of the Mets, I am sure they&#8217;ll have a better record than their founding fathers, but not have much better odds of success. The ultimate success is defined by winning the World Series, followed by reaching the playoffs, winning your division, then finishing over .500. Realistically, a lot of things [...]]]></description>

		<title>Around the corner &#8230;. a brick wall.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pitchers and catchers report to St. Lucie in three weeks and where is the sense of optimism that comes with the approaching baseball season?

		<title>Mets have option at outfield help.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was some talk the Mets were monitoring the outfield market, but Juan Pierre is now off the market and they will find the asking prices for Johnny Damon, Kosuke Fukudome and Raul Ibanez to rich for their blood. Vlad Guerrero is strictly a DH type, J.D. Drew is heading toward retirement and Magglio Ordonez [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tigers will regret Fielder signing &#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not surprised at the reaction to Detroit signing Prince Fielder, giving them a formidable pair of sluggers when teamed with Miguel Cabrera. All that power; all those home runs will make the Tigers the team to beat. Yeah, and I remember all those World Series the Yankees would win after signing Randy Johnson, Jason Giambi [...]]]></description>
