Those 13 wins

I think Johan Santana can cover those 13 wins from Glavine, don't you?

And we didn't have to give up Pelfrey, or F-Mart. It seems to good to be true. Let's get this contract done and hurry up and get to Spring Training.

This season is going to be sweet..

Over/Under on how long it takes someone with the Phillies to complain about the Mets having the money and advantage, salary cap, buying championships..etc?



It's a good day to be a bartender in Philadelphia.

2008 Slogan

I don't think it's going to be "Final Season at Shea."

I actually like the Yankees' "Swan song for the Cathedral" even if I don't think it's a cathedral.

"The Farewell Tour"

"Shea's Eulogy"

"One for the ages"

"It's Destiny."

The 2008 Mets, the "Fastest route to the Citi"

(And seriously, when are we going to get Jose Reyes' face on the 7 express trains? Could the marketing idea be more perfect?)

"You have to see it to believe it"



I don't see how 2009's isn't going to be "Welcome to the Citi", but i've been wrong before

A-Rod and Santana

I've given it some thought, and I think this scenario would be perfect.


It's the 4th quarter with the Giants down by 2 and the ball on the Patriots 45 yard line at the two minute warning. The broadcast cuts to A-Rod in one of the luxury boxes, who announces that the Mets have traded for and signed Johan Santana.

New Theory

I have a theory that the 2008 Mets will win a game for each time Metsblog.com has a Johan Santana related post.

The Collapse, and 2008

I've been thinking about this, and it has a lot to do with David Wright and how he's easily the captain of this team.

The Mets maybe be an 85 win team next year, but I don't think so. I think they're going to be angry about last year, angry and ashamed.

You know how the the Patriots played after being caught cheating in week 1? That's how I see the Mets next year. Up 9-2 going into the 9th? Why not go for another run? There will be no 'taking it for granted'. And I don't care if it pisses off Hanley Ramirez or anyone else. I want them to take the confidence of 2007, but not think they deserve anything. They should go out and play the Phillies(and the Braves and Marlins and Nationals) like they punched their mothers.

Last year they had what I felt to be a good attitude, but they seemed to lose it on the field. 2008 is going to be a good year.

What's up doc?

All quiet on the Mets front. They raised ticket prices, which is no surprise. I hate that so many sports franchises seem to treat it solely like a business and forget the working class little people that love and enjoy the game. My last TOTK.com article was about this.

There are still rumors floating around about Johan, and I doubt there is a prospect I would miss past Santana smacking around the Phillies on opening day. We’ll see what happens. It’s not 2008, 2007 is in the past. The holidays are over, and if your not that big a football fan like me, it’s time to start counting down the days until pitchers and catchers report.

Btw, I still have a fourth seat of my Mets Saturday Pack available, if you happen to be one of those fans that wants to go, but has no one to go with regularly. It comes with a nice 27% price increase over last year!
