The Mets-What's going on?

Well as a Mets fanatic-I'm not too happy with what I see so far. The starting pitching seems to be coming around with the exception of Oliver Perez and Livan Hernandez. Jonathon Niese and Dillon Gee would be better replacements although the best shot at redemption seems to be at Class AA Binghamton.

The Hitting needs to be more consistent with runners in scoring position. It looks like Daniel Murphy could be the 1st baseman according to the NY Post. This could open up the chance of a Carlos Lee trade. we NEED a run producer and FAST!

2009 Goudey baseball box break, et. al.

Saw my buddy Dan (whose blog i'm now following) open a box of Goudey on Wednesday and the set caught my eye. Bought it Fridaya and after opening it, I was a tad disappointed. no relic cards, but an Autograph of Ozzie Smith. I was estatic about the Ozzie Smith auto. A hall of famer in my collection -YES!-. Well Dan I have to diagree with you on two of the subsets. they are part of the set. i like the sports royalty and the other subet that you didn't like. they are awesome throwback cards to a throwback set. thanks for the heads up on the 2nd box in your blog. i'm amped up for some potential trade bait. i still wouldn't mind completing the set though. I got a jump start on the UD 2009 A Piece of History this morning on my way to work. I stopped at the local flea market on my way to work and got a bunch for a cheap price. I'm looking forward to completing that set. the inserts (which I normally don't collect) are so cool. throwback style circa 1900-1910's rule. I love the subset with actual historical events especially since I'm a history buff. we're talking best of both worlds here. Now I'm also amped up about the bowman, UD series 2 and Topps series two releases within the next month. I will be using some of my future blogs for want lists as well as the my space page that i have.
