Plain and simple. The defense has deep flaws, The relief pitching became far worse when DM thought "Inexpensive relievers were good, therefore expensive ones will be better", and the starting pitching fell apart due to the stretching out of most of the rotation.

No, this isn't a post about how the rest of the NL east plays the Mets every night like a playoff game because they've been outraged by Jose Reyes antics. I only have one thing to say about that situation, if you're going to bring that type of heat on yourself and team...

There are two types of stat-heads. On the one hand, you have the type that ignore the hissing from the traditional media elites who scoff at decimal points and sigmas. On the other, you have the type who want to educate. I really respect the latter type, because--hoo, boy--...

Every offseason, there are a handful of contracts that look foolish by the time free agency has ended. Even with the economic downturn, this offseason is no different. While the numbers have deflated, the questionable deals still remain prevalent. I'm not saying that the following...

It is obvious that Trey Hillman does not have what it takes to be a successful big league manager. His biggest failure is his inability to properly utilize the very reasonable and not at all crazy 3 man bench that he has been given. That's why it's time to fire Trey Hillman...
