"This offseason that's pretty much all I was working on," Niese said Friday. "I neglected the other things. So everything was at an imbalance."
Mets fans finally have a lot to look forward to, and it's not just the much-ballyhooed Noah Syndergaard who is worthy of attention.
"We've got good players," Wright said. "I love the fact that Sandy is confident in us. I think 90 is challenging, it's attainable and it's a good starting point for us."
Craig Carton doesn't want to wait to see the kid with the "hook from hell" -- and he's absolutely sick of hearing the argument about Syndergaard's arbitration eligibility.
The way the Mets are positioned right now, a 90-win season would not only give cause for a century-long extension for Sandy Alderson and Terry Collins, but the erection of a healing shrine.

Ruben Tejada could be in the Mets' doghouse after yet again showing up to spring training out of shape, according to the New York Post.
"As I look back now, everything would have been better off had he said something," Mets manager Terry Collins said Monday.
The first baseman was particularly upset about the insinuation that he was going out of his way to disguise or hide the injury for selfish reasons, saying that players play hurt all the time.
"There's a joke in there somewhere -- if he takes a swing at me, he might miss," Mike Puma of the New York Post said Monday on the "Boomer & Carton" show.
Matt Harvey is back! Well, sort of. Harvey met a major goal on Saturday when he threw his first pitches since undergoing Tommy John surgery.
For his career, Leathersich has struck out a ridiculous 15.2 batters per nine innings -- but has also given up five walks per nine innings pitched.
