Lets be honest, the New York Mets are going to suck in 2012, likely finishing in a distant 5th/last place in the National League East division. The Phillies have the tremendous trio of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, and Cole Hamels. The Braves have Jair Jurrjens, Tommy Hanson, Brandon Beachy, and Tim Hundson. The Marlins just added Heath Bell, Jose Reyes, and Mark Buehrle. The Mets...David Wright and a highly questionable Johan Santana. Yep, times are tough in Queens. So how do the Mets plan on drawing fans to Citi Field? I propose hiring some of these hotties to be permanent fixtures in the stands.

After an offseason that seemed to be quite boring in the minds of most fans. People ask the question: Do the Mets have any chance to make the playoffs this year? And there is only one way to answer that question, and it’s surprisingly yes. You never know. The Giants won in 2010, and nobody even put them as a contender to win that division.

Mike Pelfrey and the Mets settle on a one year deal avoiding for arbitration, $5.675 M got the Mets 33 starts averaging 5.84 innings per start for 193 innings with an ERA of 4.74, WHIP 1.47 and a 7-13 record.

TwitterQ&A: Should Mets now retire Gary Carter’s No. 8?
Earlier tonight, I asked this question and got these responses from fans on Twitter:
The way I see it, the Mets should definitely use this summer – the 50th anniversary of the team – to honor Carter’s place in their history, especially considering today’s sad news about his health. However, if the team had no intention of retiring his No. 8 before today...

After posing this question via twitter, a debate ensued between myself and several Met bloggers including our own Joe D. and Brandon Butler. I thought I would ask the MMO faithful this same query: Would you do anything to sign Josh Hamilton next winter? Even if it meant losing David Wright? Personally, I think it is something to consider.
