If the Season Ended Today…

Posted in Baseball, Media, MLB, Yankees, tagged on June 1, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

The last five seasons haven’t been very kind to the Mets. Whether on the field or in the board room, the team has been besieged by a myriad of unfortunate circumstances ever since Carlos Beltran was mesmerized by a Adam Wainwright curve ball to end the 2006 NLCS.
