Good news for my adoring fans (well, if I have any): I have returned from by two month long sabbatical from writing, and just in time for a summer's worth of articles. This will be the first of a hopefully successful series where I take a fans' view of what’s going on around sports, because I know just how much everyone wants to hear what I’m thinking.

·    I’ll start off with a rant about my beloved Mets, and you don’t have to be a genius to know it won’t be a happy one. Though I like the hire of Manuel and believe it was time for Randolph to go, I did not believe that the right time to do it was 3 a.m. 

 

     The Mets really showed how little class they had with this move. If they don’t make the playoffs (which I’m starting to believe is very likely right now) then the Mets could be called one of the most underachieving teams in history.

 

·    A couple of observations about the latest Don Imus comments. First of all, if this was anyone else, no one would be making as big a deal about this.

 

     Second of all, even though in an unselfish world, there is no way this guy should have a job outside of the drive through window operator at Dairy Queen, WABC must love every comment he makes like this. At this rate, the whole country will be tuning into his show to see what he’ll say next.

 

     Also, doesn’t The Pacman (sorry, Adam Jones) have better things to worry about than some old, white trash loser making a stupid comment about like getting his reputation back, contributing to the Cowboys, and making sure everybody calls him the football player formally known as Pacman?
