About Jason »

I am a recent graduate from Florida Atlantic University. I am a HUGE die-hard Mets fan. I was there when they were bad, and I was there when they were good (and still managed to lose). I was at the last game at Shea, and the first game at CitiField. I am originally from New York, and now live down here in Florida. I aspire to be a baseball beat writer, a la Buster Olney.

    The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

    Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

    Was Brian Bruney right? Is K-Rod's postgame celebration too much?

    Get in on the debate.

    Hey,

    The biggest week of games to date this season begins for the Mets with Six games against the Phillies and the Yankees, its a real test for a team that has dealt with quite a bit during this early part of the season. With this I'm presenting another version of my Top Five with the subject centering around how the Mets can be successful this week against the Phils and Yanks. I hope you enjoy and thanks in advance.
