When I read this article on Yahoo Sports, I thought, "Perfect. Something, while not terribly topical, rather out there to sound off about."To nutshell, the Mets' minor league affiliate, the Brooklyn Cyclones went with a little word play to promote their June 23rd affair against the Hudson Valley Renegades, morphing into the "Baracklyn Cyclones." The night is filled with political gimmicks,

It's been a while.Seems like forever since Spring Training's hernia derailed Moises Alou's Opening Day plans. A month and change later, he's back and ready to make an impact.“I’m very anxious,” Alou said. “Actually, it seems like it’s been so long, but it’s still April and I’m getting ready to play.

There's no point in denying it anymore...there's definitely a third party in my relationship, and I think we need to just get it out in the open.This third party in my life is David Wright.The funny thing is, I don't even mind that Brian has had a raging man-crush on David for, like, ever, since my dirty little secret is that I have a teeny crush as well.

There's nothing I like more than a relatively sparsely populated ballpark - the sparse population being largely visiting Mets fans. And so I made my way to Washington D.C. for my first visit to Nationals Park. Overall, I was fairly pleased, although it's pretty hard not to be favorable compared to RFK. Some scattered thoughts to follow. Also, I took a couple pictures which you can check out here

What with the national spotlight of Monday Night Baseball on ESPN, and all the added coverage and stimulus therein, it's about time I add my two cents to the proceedings.

We're about 1/16 through the season; let's see where things stand. The Orioles, Royals, and Marlins are in first place. Check. Nationals have lost six straight - at least one thing's right with the baseball world. And the Boss has been slain in a Medusa-like fashion only to spawn two mini-Bosses.Meanwhile, back at the ranch...The Mets finally found their way out of a three game skid, and a nine

This may come as no more shocking news than Carly's hatred of the Yankees, but the point remains.Why do I hate the Braves? Might it have to do with their dominance of the Mets at Turner Field? Maybe. But there are plenty of other reasons. (Frankly, I'll even give them a pass on John Rocker. He wasn't nearly as much an insane Brave as much as he was just an insane human.)Larry Wayne "Chipper"

Yes, I know. Using Spring Training as a barometer for the regular season is like using this as a barometer for Hank Steinbrenner's ability to keep up with popular culture. (If Ebo were ever around on this forum, I'm sure he have a witty retort. His absence pains me like a....shot through the heart.)That being said, I'm very excited about the prospects of the Mets pitching staff. Obviously, Johan

Big doings in the Sox land today, big, rebellious, stand-up doings!Apparently, MLB had promised the coaches and training staff the same $40,000 that the players were promised to make the trip to Japan on Wednesday afternoon. When push came to shove though, it seems as though the powers that be would only pony up $20,000 for anyone that wasn't a player. Needless to say, that didn't sit to well

There was a restaurant my family used to go to with my grandparents for breakfast called The Afton. The joke was that, due to the demographics of their usual older clientèle, it was informally referred to as "The Cane And Crutch". Sadly, the Mets clubhouse in Port St. Lucie could very easily go by the same name as we approach the midpoint of Spring Training. A quick rundown of ailments and

Center field requires much versatility. The defensive demands of the position haven't changed over time - speed, the ability to anticipate ball trajectories right off the bat, and the reliability to captain the entire outfield, delegating duties in a fraction of a second. What have changed are the offensive expectations of a center fielder. More and more, one will see the Torri Hunters and Grady

Do you remember how I was saying the Phillies were giving the Sox a run at having the coolest clubhouse ever?I retract that completely.As is wont to happen whenever I go away from baseball for a couple days, the Sox came out and held two events that embody perfectly why I love them so much.

Much like the first flowers I saw sprouting along the road on my walk home today, the appearance of pitchers and catchers in Ft. Myers is the first sure sign that spring is on its way.

Pitchers and catchers report on Thursday. It's not long now. So who has the best catcher out there? Well let's evaluate our options.Jason Varitek: had a bit of a rebound year, if you call a .255 BA a rebound from .238. He had what would be considered a full season for a catcher, and more typical season all around. One thing that did stand out to me was a career high in walks. Then you realize he

ONE WEEK until pitchers and catchers report to spring training. It's about time to start a series of straight up comparison of the big three. Since pitchers and catchers are first to arrive, it only makes sense to start with starting pitching. As I see it, here are the projected starting rotations in question (in rotation order):Mets: Johan Santana, Pedro Martinez, John Maine, Orlando Hernandez,

I have some terrible news to impart today, and I have always felt that bad news should be delivered as quickly and bluntly as possible, much like ripping off a particularly sticky Band-Aid.So here goes...Gisele Bundchen, main squeeze of one Tom Brady and general hottie-at-large, will not be running buck naked through midtown Manhattan to commemorate the Giant's victory in Super Bowl XLII.I'll

Well I'm going to throw one more log on the Super Bowl fire before I call it quits. First thing's first (and don't think I go throwing this around every other post...Santana and Giants Super Bowl Champs...clearly both merit it.)HELL YEAH.So anyway, I was surfing the interweb-nets shortly after the game had ended, and noticed that Yahoo's main page was downright editorial with what I would

Surreal. Shocking. Unreal. Unbelievable. I’m quickly running out of adjectives. My name is Eric, “Ebo” for short, and I’ll introduce myself to you at a later time. Today is about one team: the World Champion New York Giants. When I told everyone back in week two that the Giants would rebound, I was laughed at. When I continued to support Eli Manning, promising he would start to

In the history of 'day afters,' this one has to be the worst.The Patriots lost the Super Bowl.Even as I write and read that sentence, it all seems so surreal. After putting together one of the best regular seasons in NFL history, the New England Patriots folded to ELI FREAKING MANNING (in the biggest game of his life).I'm still in shock.To be honest, I haven't felt this way in a long time. 2003,

Today is one of my favorite days of the year, Super Bowl Sunday. It's made even sweeter by the fact that my New England Patriots are poised to become the best NFL team in history.Granted, when I was younger, the only reason I loved the Super Bowl was because I got to eat junk food all day and watch hilarious Budwiser commercials. As I got older, and grew to understand the intricacies of football

Last night I outlined what appeared to be the best offers from the Red Sox, Yankees and Mets in their pursuit of Johan Santana. Some argued that the Twins simply chose the package most appealing to them. However, there may have been an alternate reality to the proceedings.Critics (I choose my wording carefully - not talent evaluators or scouts, but rather sports writers) didn't need more than a

Switching gears for a second, today was Super Bowl Media Day. As I've never really paid attention to this phenomena before, I had no idea that it was so utterly....useless. According to many of the articles I've read, people just show up to say stupid things to pro football players in the hopes that they say something funny.For example: The Tonight Show sent out American Idol wannabe Kellie

My original intent of this post was to break down the pursuit of Johan Santana by the Red Sox, Mets and Yankees. But seeing as how Omar Minaya went and ruined the surprise ending, I'll just go ahead and start off with a short editorial and go from there.HELL YEAH.Ok, there's that out of my system. So what happened? It seems like there were two major story lines as to the give and take of what the

Two years ago, Brian and I started a tradition of having a week-long baseball extravaganza between the Mets and the Sox. It all started with the three-game rematch of the Sox and the Mets for the first time in twenty years. The last time our teams had met, (hah!), I was ten months old. I was one of those kids whose parents woke up to see the Sox win the Series for the first time in a hundred

I am a Mets fan.I remember seeing some dude named Barry Lyon hit a home run and seeing a big metal apple come out of a hat. I remember falling asleep in my beanbag chair in front of a game. I remember my grandpa buying me a year's subscription to the Mets Fan Club for Kids, which got me, among other things, a flimsy baseball card holder booklet (sponsored by the local milk company no less) for

Hello, and welcome to Fenway, Flushing and the House that Ruth Built! We’ve created this blog as a sounding board for the three of us to hash out some of the greatest sports rivalries between the two greatest cities in America, Boston and New York. During most of the year, we will focus primarily on America’s Pastime. In the fall, we’ll shift over to the NFL, and possibly have some
