This edition of Fair or Foul features Brian Joura who does a fantastic job running Mets 360. Have you ever considered the possibility that Carlos Beltran has had a Hall of Fame career? Well, Brian builds a solid case for Tron, and if he’s right, going in while wearing a Mets cap seems like a no-brainer. Here is some of what he has to say and as always I encourage you to read the full piece at Mets 360. I want to talk about Beltran in another manner. This offseason he signed a two-year deal with the Cardinals. If Beltran can stay healthy and produce during the span of that contract, he can strengthen what already is a solid Hall of Fame case. And barring a return to the Royals, Beltran will have spent more time with the Mets than with any other team in his career.

Last week, we ran a poll to consider the wide variety of salary options the St. Louis Cardinals might have in offering an extension to catcher Yadier Molina, on the path toward becoming a free agent for the first time following the 2012 season. To keep that survey manageable, the dollar amounts and years were split into separate questions. That made it difficult to bring the two...

Back to full strength and armed with a year of valuable experience, Lynn enters...

LaRussa To Manage Once Again

Word came down this week that long-time St. Louis Cardinals manager, Tony LaRussa, had been asked by Commissioner Bud Selig to manage the National League All-Star team during the mid-summer classic. Major League Baseball’s 83rd All-Star game will be held on July 10, 2012 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City…which, if you’re somehow on this website, and didn’t know that...

The St. Louis Cardinals Winter Warm Up was two weeks ago, but the information that flows from that event covers the past, present, and future over what may be the most comprehensive weekend of the offseason.

Free Agent SS Ryan Theriot signs with San Francisco

What if the Mets Had a Chance at 11 More Championships? New Rule Gives More Opportunities

Yes I know we can say “what if” about everything in life but this one could have been feasible with the new playoff system which may go into place this year. By adding another team to the playoffs, the Mets would have been in the playoffs 1984-1990, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2006, 2007 and 2008. They won it all in 1986, had a bunch of AAA players there in 2000, and we all know about...
