I believe that there are two scenarios that could occur regarding the general manager position this offseason, both of whi...

 I thought it would be a good idea to look at some of the big news from Mets country so far this week.
The biggest news is that Jenrry Mejia might get the start Saturday in Chicago, after a dominate first start for Triple A Buffalo. A little advice to the Mets, don't rush your best pitching prospect. The Mets should not pitch him Saturday after just one start at the Triple A level....

 Lets face it Mets fans, David Wright cannot and shouldn't be the leader of the New York Mets. I thought about this a lot last night and came up with three solid reasons why I believe this is true, comparing the last two seasons to the rest of his career.
1. He always seemed to be more comfortable as second fiddle
I always thought this was obvious, but maybe it was just me. If you ...
