Blue & Orange Open Mic was a hit! If you couldn’t make it, you missed a couple of virtuoso performances.

Yesterday I mentioned what a nice job Omar Minaya has done creating a bullpen with some under the radar value this offseason. On the flip side, the Mets bench has never been a strength during Minaya’s regime. The weakest link of the 2006 team, in my opinion, was the bench as an over the hill [ ... ] ...

Ironically, it was on the same night the Mets announced Kelvim Escobar would miss the entire season.If there was one positive aspect of the offseason it was the way Omar Minaya handled the bullpen.
