[Jun. 20, 2008] Tuesday morning's firings couldn't have possibly been worse, could they have? Metstradamus envisions a scenario which confirms that yes, as bad as it was, it could have been worse. Scary, ain't it?

Another Day, Another Disgrace
[Jun. 18, 2008] It can be rough when your favorite baseball team becomes the laughingstock of the league - especially when it has to do with factors other than wins and losses. But you've been down this road before. You're a Mets fan.

Meet the New Mets, Same as the Old Mets
[Jun. 17, 2008] Well, Willie is gone, but some things don't change in the Mets front office — the Infighting Is Back! Catch the Rising Accusations! Chaos the Way It Ought To Be! Yep. Good times.

Forget Getaway Day, This is Getaway Season
[Jun. 13, 2008] Ever have that feeling that you needed to get away? Metstradamus had that feeling recently. But every time he gets out, the Mets pull him back in (sometimes kicking and screaming). Perhaps some of the Mets need to get away ... for good.

[Jun. 8, 2008] Ramon Castro forgot to tell the hotel desk clerk to call his room before 4:00 p.m. Saturday, and he did not show up and was fined. Or is there something more to this?

[Jun. 5, 2008] If it feels like that every time Aaron Heilman comes into an important situation he ends up giving up 14 runs...it's because he does (almost).

Just Get the Best Players You Can Get
[Jun. 4, 2008] As the 2008 First Year Player Draft approaches, the Mets have the unique opportunity to quickly increase the profile and quality of the minor league system. But to do so, they will have to go beyond the restrictive slot recommendations for amateur bonuses suggested by the commissioner's office.

Keep The Future in the Future
[May 30, 2008] The decision between Claudio Vargas and Mike Pelfrey seems to be as obvious as the nose on your face. But it doesn't seem to be as obvious to the people who count when it comes to these decisions. Metstradamus wonders why.
