Bleed Blue and Orange


Boy it feels great to be back. My football team was dreadful. Unfortunately, I root for the other New York Team. My basketball team is run by Issaih, enough said. My hockey isnt the Rangers and My Terps well they stumbled as well. So yea, Im so glad to back to my true love in this wild world of sports. To anyone who knows me, my passion for my Mets burns deep inside and out. My room is covered in Mets stuff, My car, my office, even's my girl's room is Mets, Mets, Mets. Why you ask? Becuase all the fans are true to the orange and blue. My blood bleeds blue and orange and baseball is by far the greatest sport and I cant wait for April to come.

Im going to start this season by breaking down each position of the 2008 Mets. I will not discuss last season except for two points. 1. Willie Randolph is on the hot seat. Last season collapse was unacceptable. The past is the past, and the Mets have moved forward, Thank you Johan. But in my opinion, Willie should have been fired last season. I sure hope he has a Coughlin up his sleeve, becuase otherwise he is gone faster then Reyes going from first to third. 2. With 14 days left last season, I broke my rules and purchased a nice bottle of champagne to toast another easy NL east, heck we had a 7 game lead and I was in a liquor store. Needless to say that bottle remains uppoped and sits on my shelf to remind me every day not to take this sport for granted. Sure we have the best team in the National League on paper. But there are games to be played, 162 to be exact, and I expect these Mets to win at minimum 95 of them. That bottle will taste so sweet when we win the National League East this season. Enough of this little diatribe of mine. Last season is ages ago, The time to win is upon us. All the fans are true to the orange and blue so hurry up and come on down becuase we got ourselves a ball club the Mets of New York town.
