I'll make this quick since I'm still a little light headed after watching Luis Castillo sacrifice bunt off of a left fielder Saturday night. So shocked, in fact, that I let tonight's managerial decision to remove Pedro Feliciano for Ryota Igarashi simply because Ryan Ludwick is a right handed hitter and Igarashi is "my 8th inning guy," go by without a wimper, much like David Wright checking the rotation of an Adam Wainwright curve ball.

The Mets are 4-8, two games behind the 4th place ...

For now, here's a basic breakdown of the players on the 40-man roster, as well as the non-roster invitees, who are at Port St. Lucie ...

Even buried by 12" of snow doesn't quell the excitement of what is going on 2,800 miles south of this winter wonderland. Spring training is in full swing, everything should be right in the world but yet questions about the New York Mets abound.

Questions of whether the loss of Carlos Beltran for the first three months of the season is just a harbinger of more bad news a la last year's debacle of a season. Questions about a lineup that fall off the deep end of poor on base percentage ...
