The Subway Series game is currently in the middle of a rain delay (although, given the fact that the score is 4-0 Mets, I’m more than happy for them to call the game and give us the win) so I figured, with my unexpected free time, that this is the perfect opportunity to jot down … Continue reading In Medias Res: Volume III

New York City Is Abuzz With Mets Fever
I'm sitting here, kinda constipated, as the Mets lead the Yankees 10-2 in the 7th inning, well on their way to a sweep of their vaunted crosstown rivals, just in case my sick, twisted mind needed any further proof that my mood has no effect on the fortune of the Mets. They really might just … Continue reading New York City Is Abuzz With Mets Fever
You Can All Hop On The Mets Bandwagon, As Long As You Acknowledge: I Was The First One On
See here, here, here, here, here, and here. I only ask you to do so because I have never truly derived joy out of this fandom, and when that precious day comes, I want to stand as the martyr who survived 7 games with 17 to play in his first full season watching the team. … Continue reading You Can All Hop On The Mets Bandwagon, As Long As You Acknowledge: I Was The First One On
One Thing I’ve Noticed From Each Team, In Order of How I Favor Them, Vol. II
MetsI don't think there's a more frustrating team in all of sports than the New York Mets. I'm so sick of them. I don't know if they're bad or good. You don't know if they're bad or good, and if you say you do, you're lying. I have a hunch they're going to make the … Continue reading One Thing I’ve Noticed From Each Team, In Order of How I Favor Them, Vol. II
It’s Time For The Mets To Blow It Up
That title pained me to write. But, at the end of the day, the current core of Mets is so polluted by the misdoings of administrations past that it's time to say goodbye, specifically, to Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso. Others will go as well. But it's those two that will sting the most. Jeff … Continue reading It’s Time For The Mets To Blow It Up

“It was so easy to be wise in the explanation of an experience one has not personally witnessed.” I’m finally out in the country, away from the incessant hustle and bustle of Flatbush Avenue. No honking, no revving, no boosted-bass-blasting, no alarms, no sirens – peace, silence, the bliss of obscurity… Sitting on the back … Continue reading In Medias Res: Volume II
Here Come the New York Mets
Oh, man. Oh, boy, oh, boy. I can't believe it. The Mets might be good. That's the kinda game good teams win. Facing a good team with a depleted bullpen, they took advantage of the fact that Raisel Iglesias wasn't available to pull off a thrilling comeback win over a hated division rival. They didn't … Continue reading Here Come the New York Mets
One Thing I’ve Noticed From Each Team, In Order of How I Favor Them
Mets:It hasn't been all good for the Mets, but it certainly hasn't been all bad, either. They're a game over .500, which is fine in its own right, but it's the means by which they have arrived at that point that has been so interesting: they have looked like a coherent baseball team, which could … Continue reading One Thing I’ve Noticed From Each Team, In Order of How I Favor Them
The Mets Are Back At .500!
I'm gonna do something I haven't done in years — write my feelings. The New York Mets are good. The New York Mets have life. The New York Mets might be better than the Atlanta Braves. The New York Mets should be getting some sort of pitching reinforcements, in the forms of Kodai Senga and … Continue reading The Mets Are Back At .500!

Baseball Ramblings in the Early Morning Hours of April 14th I can feel the telltale signs of panic rushing through my body – shallow breath, darting eyes, a strange series of spasms in my abdomen, a complete and total inability to concentrate on anything for more than a few moments… above all else, paranoia creeping … Continue reading In Medias Res: Volume I
