About Phil »

My name is Phil Hoops. I am a die hard New York Mets fan, who enjoys watching and writing about the ball club. I currently write for Dominick DiFucci's blog, Dom D's Mets Fan Blog, as well as Mets Merized Online. I would definitely recommend checking out both sites, as from time to time I post exclusive articles there that are not found anywhere else. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
