Hmmm, outhustled by Kranepool Society. I didn’t even know there was a media hour.
After Murphy, R.A. Dickey was made available to us for a Q & A session and of course R.A. was in fine form with thoughtful answers about his climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro, his hope that Johan Santana can come back and reclaim his spot as Ace of the pitching staff and his pragmatic view of the upcoming season for the Mets in a very tough NL East as you can here is this clip and this clip.
After talking to both Dickey and Murphy, I thought about all the angst and anger of Mets fans over this off season towards ownership of the team. I thought about all those who say they won’t come out to Citi Field as they feel it’s a show of support of the Wilpon’s. To those fans I say, I feel sorry for you. While talking to Dickey and to Murphy, the thought came to me that I can’t wait for the season to begin because I can’t wait to root for both these guys as they are more than worthy of positive support.

Very good post, nice to see some positives from a Mets blogger displaying love of game, support of players, and the maturity to stand up to the hot air blowing from Mets-hating-Mets fans who stew in hate, stew in negativity, and their own concocted self-pity.
