The Mets return home to Citi Field to welcome the Chicago Cubs. Here’s the lineup…
A lot of hubbub was made over David Wright switching to the new S100 helmet from Rawlings.
Well, Wright will be mocked no longer.
Wright said he is switching back his old helmet because the newer, larger one just didn’t fit him right.
“It's just not comfortable,” Wright told reporters. “It's just the last thing I need to be worried about in the box, to be trying to shove it on my head.”
So long, Marvin the Martian and Dark Helmet. We shall miss you.

Tune in here!
They seem to be having some technical difficulties. Give it time, I guess.
On Monday I published an article about Jerry Koosman evading his taxes and how he was going to be sentenced for the crime.
Well, here’s an update.
Koosman has been sentenced to six months in jail for failing to pay taxes between 2002 and 2004. He will also have one year of supervised probation.
Before being sentenced, Koosman, 66, a two-time All-Star left-hander who lives on income from Social Security and occasional appearance fees, apologized.
"Like most people in their sixties, I've made some bad decisions in my life. I shouldn't have listened to those people about the tax returns, but I did, and I take full responsibility," he said in court.
He will also have to work out his debt with the United Stated tax authority.
Read this entire article by Jayson Stark. It’s a look at the Mets right now and what lays ahead of this franchise for next year and beyond.
And boy, it does not look good. Not good at all.
“Tuesday…Tuesday!”
