Call the Doctor
I used to follow almost every Mets beat writer on Twitter. I've whittled that number down to a very manageable few. I grew to find many of them far too snarky and negative. Not that the Mets of recent vintage give cause to feel much of anything positive, but there's a big difference between a...
The Low Road Less Traveled
It often seems that when it comes to media coverage of the Mets, the desire to mock the team trumps the need to report facts, or at least a nuanced portrayal of whatever situation the team is facing at the time. For instance, it doesn't matter that we've all known about the deferred payments to...
All the News That's Fit to Ignore

Steve Dilbeck From Daily News Unfairly Blames Guerrero For The Dorrell Debacle
Steve Dilbeck from the Daily News today tried to push a myth by putting the blame of Karl Dorrell hire on Dan Guerrero: UCLA is a 30-point underdog Saturday at home against USC, and it's only that close because the Bruins have a respectable defense. It might be best to cover the eyes. The...
Was the DN premature on Stepheson's "commitment"?
