I love the fact that ESPN.com has a front page headline about the mets calling up “Top” prospect Jonathan Niese. Bringing up the kids like Daniel Murphy and Niese on a first place team in the middle of a pennant race is a big middle finger to all GMs around the league who refused to trade […]

True to form, the Mets bungled another high profile situation and fired Manager Willie Randolph in the middle of the night, against my wishes, of course. I felt that he deserved a dignified exit and he didn’t get it.
Around $50 million of this $140 million Mets team has either been on the DL for significant lengths of time […]

Willie Randolph finished second in the Manager of the Year voting in 2006. He increased his team’s win total by at least 12 wins in both 2005 and 2006.
Fast Forward to May 2008.
In typical New York style, “Fire Willie” whispers in the media have slowly turned into loud demands. It sure gets late awfully early around […]

My brother and I have never been close, but today we are the closest we have ever been. And probably as close as we will ever get.
We have nothing in common even though we are only a couple of years apart in age. I am a corporate pencil pusher, he is the blue collar type. I am a Management Consultant. He is a scrappy diamond salesman. My lifestyle is pretentious. My brother doesn’t know what the word means. I like to dress up my thoughts with pretty words so I come off as educated. My brother, while just as educated, takes pride in being a straightshooting New Yorker. We don’t speak to each other much. Not lately at least.

Pitchers and catchers are heading to Florida and Arizona this week and I can’t wait for the baseball season to begin.
But before we get into a preview of the Senior Circuit, I feel like I have to come clean with something. I am going to admit that after the Mets’ brutal collapse last year, I quietly swore off of baseball for […]

New York’s beloved John Rocker is in the news again, this time claiming he took steroids in 2000 and MLB Commissioner Bud Selig turned a blind eye toward him despite knowing about his actions.
Rocker is a degenerate prick whose statements have no consequence in the steroid investigation. Bud Selig, as much as I dislike him and as […]

We here at DeepSlant think the world desperately needs another golf prodigy. But why is Reed Bozak, 3 year old Brayden’s father, advertising his son’s skills on Google AdSense? Somebody please refer this man to a sports management agency.
Though I have to admit, the boy is impressive even for people ten times his age, as seen in this […]

Turns out the two week layoff wasn’t a momentum-killer for the Giants after all.
Instead it became an incubating period for the Patriots’ ever-increasing false sense of inevitability. As I had predicted and hoped, the Patsies looked sluggish and over-confident throughout the game. Yes it was the same old Pats at first but as the game went on, it became clear that they had taken the whole “showing up is half the battle” anecdote a bit too literally. I guess they forgot that that the other team shows up too and the Giants showed up pissed off and ready. Brady’s “We are only going to score 17 points?” line now belongs in the All Time Worst Egg in Your Face Comments Hall of Fame. Two weeks ago, everyone was anointing the Patriots the Super Bowl champions and now they are the worst 18-1 team in football history and staring SpyGate 2.0 square in the face. What a turn of events!

The Mets will acquire Johan Santana from the Twins in exchange for four prospects.
Yes! Finally, the #1 Most Annoying Sports Story has met its end and what a sweet end it is! The baseball world remains in a state of shock but Mets fans, wherever they are, woke up this morning with broad smiles on their faces. Omar Minaya has struck again. And this […]

There is so much happening in the world of sports, sometimes it makes you wonder why the traditional sports media just reports the crap out of some stories while completely ignoring other potentially more interesting stories. The stories I mention below make me sicker than I was with “Mmm-Bop” at the height of its popularity […]
