Quickies from the interweb:
Another mention of the All-Star Game coming to Citi Field in 2013.
Braves fans wondering if the Mets will beat out the Nationals.
Even the Denver Post can tell what’s wrong over here:
Will the Mets remain a dysfunctional joke?
Apparently so. This was supposed to be the winter the Mets rebuilt their roster, if not their image. Instead, they took another step backward. They spent all their money on slugger Jason Bay, who proved convincingly in Pittsburgh that he’s a complementary player, not a star. With a ballpark built for flyballs to die, they should have overspent on right-hander John Lackey, pairing him with Johan Santana, grabbed ex-Rockie Jason Marquis and landed a catcher such as Bengie Molina or Yorvit Torrealba. Their alarming inactivity only widened the gap between them and their rival Phillies.
MetsBlog posted this picture. Â As I mentioned over the weekend, if you must have black, the black-on-blue looks better than blue on black – this look is close to not being horrible, but ruined by the orange underarms, and the tried-too-hard 2010 batting practice caps.
