1. Did you notice the starting pitchers in the first game of the playoffs? Matt Moore vs. C.J. Wilson… C.C. Sabathia vs. Justin Verlander. I go through this exercise every year the Mets don’t make the playoffs. Pitching, pitching, pitching.
2. One thing on my man-love for pitcher Chris Young. I have no idea how his rehab is progressing and my calling for the Mets to resign him is probably premature. Others here on MM have reminded me that a surgery like this can take up to two years to fully heal and rehab. I hope he’s coming along and I wish I had more info on his status. Still, a baseball writer can dream out loud…
3. I was talking to a blog-owner-friend of mine on Wednesday and he asked me if I was going to attend the teleconference that evening with the Mets. I told him I have never been invited which he found as shocking. He asked me if I received the daily email from Jay Horowitz. I told him I have never received a single one. Everyone always tells me that Horowitz is a nice guy but I’ve been on his shit list since the day I met him. I have a funny feeling someone told him I was never a beat reporter. I wish I could confirm that. I’d send him the three years of full page copy I wrote for Morris Communications on the Mets.
4. Five years ago all this would really piss me off, but I have thrown in the towel. I don’t know any Mets writer that has said more nice things about their players over the past seven years. I tried to build a site that I could make some money to pay my wife’s doctor bills and I failed at that also. I do it now for the love of the game and I continue to have the back of every Met minor leaguer in the system.
5. I better watch myself. I’m starting to sound like Andy Rooney and we all know what happened to him.
