MLB PREVIEW: WHY I'M NOT PICKING THE METS THIS YEAR

by The Sports Diva, TSD Magazine

No. I'm not doing it. I'm just not going to do that to myself again. Besides the fact that I'm not even a Mets fan. Die hard Cincinnati Reds fan here but I'm not crazy to pick them every year. I venture out and choose other teams that actually have a chance and last year the team I picked were the New York Mets. How stupid did I feel at the end of the season? I might as well have stuck with the team I love. We all know what happened. 17 games left and they were up 7 games. Then they were sitting at home like me in October. Just flabbergasted. Will this season be any different?

They did add Johan Santana and Pedro Martinez seems to be back. They still have Carlos Beltran, David Wright, and Carlos Delgado. And I love me some Jose Reyes. But let's take a look at their injured list.

  • Moises Alou
  • Carlos Delgado
  • Orlando Hernandez
  • Duaner Sanchez
  • Ruben Gotay
  • Brian Schneider
  • Ramon Castro

If they can get these players back from injury, they should be ok. This team looks great on paper at least and could make another run to the playoffs. But don't ask me. I'm still reeling from last year.

I would like to apologize to the Mets fan for taking my frustrations out on their favorite team. But come on. 7 game lead with 17 games left and you can't get it done? Do me a favor. If you choke this year, try to do it so that the Reds have a chance for a wild card spot at least. I'll forgive you then.
