New Chat Room; Should’ve meant something.

Posted on by

Greetings. It’s September and there’s a fall nip in the air that forewarns of a pennant race. The Philadelphis Phillies are in for a three-game series and this was supposed to be a special weekend. Instead, we have the Mets, a sliding team on the field and a fractured, disjointed team off it waiting for the season to end.

There’s a sadness with the end of the baseball team as it represents the end of summer, the briskness of fall that leads us into the unrelenting winter. Emotionally. the end of season represents the death of a dream of a promise for so much more.

Greetings from Indianapolis ….

Sorry for the late post. It was a planes, trains and automobile travel day today to Indianapolis, which apparently turns into a ghost town when the Colts play. Nobody at the airport and the streets are empty.

To catch up on some Mets notes, there is a report they are interested in Josh Willingham, which wouldn’t be a bad thing. Not the greatest of acquisitions, but certainly a better option in left than Angel Pagan.

Oh, yeah, one more thing … can we forget about the Mets dealing Luis Castillo. Of course, they’d like to move him, but his salary, age, injury history and the fact last season might have been a fluke, all of which add up to conspire against a deal being made.

Would you trade for a player with those strikes against him? I wouldn’t, either.

METS CHAT ROOM: Game #44: Happy Memorial Day.

Greetings all. I hope you enjoyed the holiday with your family and friends. Three-day weekends are always a treasure. Made even better when your team is doing well.

Beyond my wildest dreams, the Mets won two of three against Boston at Fenway. I expected a sweep in the other direction. But, they surprised everybody, but hopefully not themselves.

Their recent road trip was a test. They won five, lost five, so let’s take this with a grain of salt. With how they started, they should have won six. They also could have lost six had it not been for Omir Santos.

This next stretch is also a test with games against Washington, Florida and Pittsburgh. These are all series the Mets should win, but series they’ve struggled with in the past – especially when coming off a rough stretch.

What's keeping you up tonight?

What's keeping you up tonight?

Greetings late night friends.

With the hope of a classic World Series now dashed and the Rays on life support, the Hot Stove Season is days away. We got a head start on it tonight as much of the conversation was about the Mets and their numerous holes.

If you want to analyze the Series or weigh in on the Mets, feel free. This is your late night message board. Post and I’ll catch up with you in the morning.
