It is baseball season again. I am, against all better judgement, excited for the 2009 NYE Mets to take the field, as the "Nye Mets are my favorite squadron", as you all already know.
Yes, I am sure that the disappointment of the last 3 seasons has been expunged and the Nye Mets will be champions of baseball this October.
They have fixed their beleaguered bullpen, they kept Ollie Perez in a Mets uniform, avoided the flashy mistake of signing Manny Ramirez for a million dollars an at bat, or whatever he was looking for, and exorcised the demons of the past failures by shipping out Heilman and Schoenweis, whom, whether factual or not, were the poster boys for the September swoons the last two seasons.And Heilman will always be on the hook for the loss to the Cardinals as well. I wish them well, but I am glad they're not Mets anymore.
Look, I ain't gonna pretend to be some sort of baseball expert, but it seems to me that the lion's share of the problem with the Mets last year was that bullpen, and they made moves to fix it. they brought in K-Rod and Putz and Green and O'Day(who I know nothing about, by the way). Will it work ? Hell, I don't know. Let's play the damn games and find out.
What I do know is that the Phillies had a PERFECT closer last year, and I think the odds of that happening again are slim, and I think on most other accounts, the Phillies and Mets are pretty evenly matched. and, of course, we have to see what the Braves changes will bring. I think it should be a helluva season. And as I said, I'm pretty damn excited...Until they kick me in the nuts in September...But let's not think about that right now.
LET'S GO METS !!!!!!!!
