This spring has been awfully quiet. If A-Rod weren’t naive, stupid, a steroid abuser, and kissing himself I don’t know what I would write about.
It’s time to put the excitement back in Flushing.
Here is my wishlist from a blogger’s perspective:
1. The Mets sign Pedro Martinez. Then I can (a) bitch, (b) re-post all my proof that he has been a waste of money since June 6, 2006 and (c) say I told you so every time he pitches four innings.
2. The New York Post uncovers construction flaws at C-Field. They are due for one of those articles. Maybe it turns out Left Field is 336 feet not 335, and someone can find some analysis that proves this will cost the team 50 homers.
3. The Wilpons announce that the VP of Citibank will throw out the first pitch. Some hard-rocking friends of Piazza are saying that we’ll see Mike & Tom at Opening Day as we should but I’d get much more milage out of booing some suit.
4. David Wright catches a cold at the WBC. Nothing too bad, I don’t want him to miss the team, but if he had to sit out for a few days and I could blame the WBC that would be fun.
5. The Mets pull out some really uglier-than-believed-possible uniforms. Oh wait, they did that on St. Patrick’s Day.
