With that said, if you enjoy the game of baseball even one iota, listento/watch a game with Vin Scully providing the soundtrack.
Mets Baseball Is Once Again Tolerable →
For a few weeks there I had the Mets game on, but wasn’t really watching. I was disinterested, as the team couldn’t hit, couldn’t pitch, couldn’t field and pretty much couldn’t do anything right….
Minaya Has To Go →

In April 2006, when Bernazard was asked to identify himself in the visiting clubhouse of a minor-league team in Lakewood, N.J., he refused to respond and went toe-to-toe with an employee whose job was to keep strangers out of the clubhouse. After the attendant finally asked if Bernazard was the “bus driver” for the Mets’...

And so what we thought was the spiral curling into a sad, quiet final 60 or so games of the New York Mets lost 2009 season has instead transformed into a heaving, gluttonous scandal monster. In the best way I know how to explain this: Mets Vice President of Player Development Tony Bernazard...
