Running in Place

This title of this post is meant to serve as an assessment of the Mets, as well as an explanation for the recent state of this blog.  We’ll start with the blog, which is probably easier to explain.  The unfortunate lack of new content recently can be attributed to several things.  First and foremost though was the preoccupation of yours truly with law school exams.  The exams are now over, along with the first year of law school, so significantly more time can be spent blogging away about those Amazin’ Mets.  I anticipate  several weeks of uninterrupted new content as the Mets roster begins to take shape.

Speaking of the Mets, progress has been slow recently for Omar.  The Mets still have not acquired a starting pitcher; Dan Haren was traded from the Oakland Athletics to the Arizona Diamondbacks, Erik Bedard seems to be a good bet to start the season in Baltimore, and the Mets chances at Santana seems shaky at best. Some sources cite the Mets refusal to include Reyes as a significant obstacle, while some around the Mets organization remain hopeful that Santana could be in a Mets uniform this season, particularly with the Yankees and Red Sox cooling on the prospect of trading top prospects and paying Johan a hefty sum of money.
