Fred, Jeff, Lucas, Terry and Luis
It’s great to see FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal stick up for Fred Wilpon by saying you won’t find an owner who will say a bad word about Fred.
To which BMF responds: Fred? No — Jeff? Yes. The problem with the Mets isn’t Fred Wilpon its Jeffy boy.
I’ve heard from 4 or 5 people, from completely different walks of life, who have done business or discussed business with Jeff and every one of them has awful things to say about him.
There are always 2 sides of the story and I haven’t gotten Jeff’s side of any of them so I won’t get into details but suffice it to sat Jeff is the reason every Met fan I know is hoping they’re forced to sell.

Another guy I’m excited to watch this spring is Lucas Duda. The Paul Bunyon-esque Met may not have a shot at making the big league roster but I’m looking forward to seeing him take some cuts in spring games.

So far I’m liking Terry Collins’ energy.

Why on earth isn’t Luis Castillo in camp early? I suppose it’s not fair to chastise a vet if he’s not late yet but c’mon Luis. Then again maybe he sees the writing on the wall and doesn’t give a shit anymore.

Don’t want Castillo in camp and as far as I am concerned I hope he just doesn’t show up. We can finish in fourth (Maybe last) place with or without him!…Lets see what the future holds for 2nd base.
Terry was all smiles at the workout yesterday and I like what he said about having each others back so far. Lets see what happens during the first long losing streak!..Can’t wit to see his first meltdown!
If this is going to be a throw away season, lets see what we got and lets let the kids get a year under their belt.
Heading back down to PSL Mon. or Tues. One week to go till opening day!….Woo!! Hoo!!!
Left field Tiki Bar…..I hear ya calling me!!

Starting pitchers for Spring Training games!!
Jenrry Mejia will get the ball for the spring-training opener next Saturday against the Atlanta Braves.
The Mets have a split squad the following day. Chris Capuano is scheduled to face the University of Michigan, while Pat Misch, Chris Young or Oliver Perez starts on the road.
Mike Pelfrey then goes Feb. 28.

Castillo to yanks, he’ll be treated as a conquering hero.

I’d love to hear BMF’s take on Terry Collins saying that he would have cleared the bench last year in Philly over that Beltran/Utley slide.

Good on Terry, even with hindsight and all……..woulda shoulda…..let’s see what happens this year.
Do not put Beltran in right though! At least not yet!
