It’s some minor injuries Mulder. It’s still February. Things are going to be OK.
No Scully LOOK, look at what’s not there.
What’s not there Mulder?
David Wright.
Mulder, we all know David Wright is injured.
He’s on the 40 man roster, isn’t he?
Yes.
So answer me this, either why isn’t he playing or why isn’t he on the injury update?
Mulder…
I think it’s because he’s not on their minds because he may not even exist.
Mulder…
Think about it Scully. Where is he? Do you see the beat reporters mentioning him? Where are the pictures?
Mulder…
Look Scully, I would love to write about new food offerings at Citi Field, new players the Mets signed, the Mr. Met sneaker deal or even the WOR broadcast schedule, but the Mets are keeping everything a secret this spring. The truth is out there Scully, and it’s not going to come to us in the form of a press release.
Mets Police Morning Laziness: TDK Returns or Mopey Matt?
NOT LINKING: The Beat seems in a tizzy about injuries. The articles roam from “Can this guy come back by xxx” to LOL Mets Injuries. The big panic is Mickey Hodges said that JDG may not be ready for Opening Day. Might, may, could. Relax.
Mr. and Mrs. Met signed with New Balance.
SLACKISH REACTION: Extremely quiet 24 hours in Metstropolis (unless you want to LOL Injury Panic). Today is Harvey Day for lame people that say things like Happy Harvey Day. Matt will either give up no runs leading to The Dark Knight Returns Yet Again This Time Its For Real And If He Can….nonsense, or he will give up a run and we will have Mopey Matt looking glum with the reporters surrounding him. As things are quiet and I run a blog I root for the latter today.

Mets Mania Series Fever
Quiet day in Queens Port St. Lucie so I went deep diving on eBay. Who is down for some Mets Mania Series Fever!
Mets Police Morning Laziness: Mickey Mafia gets Howie, Topless Thor
DID THE METS GET ANY PLAYERS? Yes! I thought we were done with this. They signed pitcher A.J. Griffin who interestingly has a better career record than Matt Harvey. Griffin gives them more SP depth which is good.
SLACKISH REACTION: I don’t know if anyone got press releases from the Mets yesterday but I didn’t. Their ticket guys sure now how to reach me though. Are ticket sales slow? I feel like I am getting more calls than usual.
#METSFANSUNITED: A reminder to you guys that you drew your line in the sand so don’t come strolling back into town like nothing happened once you see this team has a good chance, especially in a week division.
The newspaper is writing about Gavin Cecchini making his case. I saw the beat writing yesterday that Gavin had put on 15 pounds of muscle. Think about every player ever who shows up at camp with 15 pounds of muscle and how that story ends. I’ll leave that thought there for you.
Finally someone with a brain is paying attention. Mike Vaccaro has me blocked on twitter so I usually ignore him but he correctly writes that the media shouldn’t be fawning over Thor throwing 100 in February but should be wary. I wrote that yesterday.
Thor really wanted everyone to see him with his shirt off so I will comply.
“I didn’t even feel like I was exerting a whole lot of effort,” the caricature of a pitcher said after throwing 101 mph and insisting on conducting his interview shirtless: https://t.co/dQaMC2BeLF #Mets pic.twitter.com/xaFg6mQ1jX

Holy sh*t the Mickey Mafia even got to Howie! Do you people see what I’m saying? Howie Rose throwing around the G word. It’s February 27th people, slow down.
