Five Reasons to Get Excited about 2010

Mets Fans Emerge from the Depths of Baseball Hell
— weretheteamtobeat.com — I feel like I just woke up from a bad nightmare. Last season was by far the... most difficult experience I've had as baseball fan. So difficult, that I quit on my team (and my blog for that matter). Watching the Mets literally limp their way to a 70-92 record was hard enough. But watching ...

Another example of how rough it is to play in Philly
— weretheteamtobeat.com — You know if there's one certainty in this world, it is that Philadelphia fans are ignorant idiots... who make playing in this lovely city absolutely unbearable. They're ruthless. Cold-hearted. Unforgiving. They throw batteries and unmercifully boo everyone from star players to Santa Claus. ... (more) Another example of how rough it is to play in Philly

Plugging Holes: Third Base
— weretheteamtobeat.com — Yesterday we talked about the Phillies and potential bullpen acquisitions . Today, we'll talk third base, a... position that Philly hasn't had a long-term answer at since, well unless Scott Rolen coutns, not in my lifetime.

The Relief Pitcher Market: Beware of Dogs
— weretheteamtobeat.com — Just about every news and rumors site is talking about the Phillies and all the many relief... pitchers that they are "in contact with" and kicking the tires on. Most of these rumors are probably true because the Phillies are in dire need of some bullpen help. So before we talk about who the ... (more) The Relief Pitcher Market: Beware of Dogs

Thoughts on the departed and those under the knife
— weretheteamtobeat.com — Well it took some time to get back to the blog after the World Series finale. It... wasn't so much a bitterness, more like a detox. I needed to shut the book on 2009, laugh, cry, whatever, and get ready for another fun offseason of trades and signings and Scott Boras (that part is no fun). In ...

— weretheteamtobeat.com — Only Jimmy Rollins could find himself all over the internet the morning after losing the World Series... to the Yankees without blowing the game the night before.

If game 7 comes, Cole is still the man to go
— weretheteamtobeat.com — This Cole Hamels story has taken on a mind of it's own. I've probably read about it... at every website and blog I visited yesterday. The response was largely the same, "how dare you", "send him home", "he sucks". That had to be expected because Cole committed one of team sports biggest crimes ...

The series isn't over and in baseball anything can happen, but I'm undeniably in a deep state of melancholy and depression today. It's not so much the fact that we're down 3-1, it's ...
