  3. 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.

  6. Its time to finally come clean, Im not a Yankee fan, I only play one on TV and in reality Im a Die Hard Mets fan who is very frustrated with everything surrounding this franchise right now. Then again, its ok cause they're BATTLING every night, right? Wrong and below is my article on the reasons why. Thanks in advance.

  8. This is becoming quite a race and it's only June. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/189688-may-1st-new-york-mets-opinions Let me know your thoughts.

  9. This is the last article I will be "pimping", only because it was created by others. It's a great read, looking forward to your comments. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/159897-the-great-philliesmets-debate-part-ii-hitting

  10. Mike, the New York Yankees open the 2009 season against the Baltimore Orioles. Much of the talk has been about 'finally' bringing a World Series Title back to the Bronx and while that's what I certainly hope for, I always try to remember how at only 19 they have blessed me a remarkable amount of success in my lifetime. There is hope in 2009 but here is a tribute to the New York Yankees of the past seasons and the many great moments they have given me- http://bleacherreport.com/articles/151546-tribute-to-my-favorite-baseball-team-the-new-york-yankees

    Let me know what you think if you get a chance, if not no worries.

  11. which Phillie do you think will win it?
