Ann Liguori's wishes for the New Year as it relates to New York sports.
The Mets have a gaping hole to fill in their rotation with R.A. Dickey shipped off to Toronto. More like a 20-win canyon.
Only a clown would compare the careers of Alex Rodriguez and R.A. Dickey. But their current paths, crisscrossing the Big Apple, serve as microcosms of the teams and town they represent.
"I think it's important for me to grieve leaving New York," Dickey said on Tuesday. "I had a proverbial home there. I had a home among fans. I had a home in an organization."
"I'm really sorry my first introduction to being a New York Met had to be like this," Noah Syndergaard said Tuesday.
There's never been a more important time to make children feel safe and happy, says former baseball star Cecil Fielder.
The prevalent theory is usually to sell high on a stock when you can. Time will tell whether the dividend pays off.
"Thank you for making me feel wanted," R.A. Dickey tweeted just before the official trade announcement.
Count Monday as a Mets win, even though sometimes even winning involves a modicum of pain.
New York will send Dickey, catcher Josh Thole and catcher Mike Nickeas to Toronto for d'Arnaud, pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard, Major League catcher John Buck and 18-year-old outfield prospect Wuilmer Becerra.
I'm just so turned off by the greed, the unwillingness to cooperate, the lack of direction and the apathy toward the fans who live and die with every drop of the puck. It's disgraceful and it's unfair, and I'm finished.
The Mets and Blue Jays have agreed in principle on a deal involving Cy Young Award-winner R.A. Dickey, according to multiple reports.
R.A. Dickey and his knuckleball could soon be headed to Toronto.
R.A. Dickey won 20 games last year and the Cy Young Award. So of course the Mets are talking about trading him to the Toronto Blue Jays.
David Wright, who turns 30 on Dec. 20, will have to wait until 2025 to receive all the money from his $138 million, eight-year contract with the New York Mets.
So the Mets won't meet R.A. Dickey's asking price and potential trade partners won't meet New York's trade demands. Something's got to give.
'Tis the season to be -- angry?
Despite all the naysayers in the blogosphere, GM Sandy Alderson is doing exactly what he should be doing -- keeping his options open.
R.A. Dickey had a message to deliver, and he delivered it loud and clear. Speaking at a Mets holiday party, Dickey was clearly frustrated by the slow pace of negotiations and the underwhelming offers that have been delivered to him.
"I feel like we're asking for less than what's fair," Dickey said Tuesday. "There is a surprise sometimes when things don't get done quickly and you already think you're extending the olive branch."
You can be sure David Wright's final act at Citi Field won't cause an eruption of boos, a la Jose Reyes, who left fans stunned after what was to be his final at-bat in a Mets jersey.
CBS RADIO announced on Monday that it has finalized its purchase of radio station 101.9 WFAN-FM in New York.
The Mets reportedly aren't budging in their trade demands for R.A. Dickey. But when it comes to negotiations to extend the knuckleballer, in seems one side may have acquiesced -- even if just a bit.
David Wright didn't sign a eight-year, $138 million extension with the Mets just to hang around with a fourth-place club.
