So my first day on the farm didn’t go as expected. Torrential rains delayed my pursuit of finding that gem in the weeds. So on Monday (for now), I am scheduled to have my first day as a farmhand.
So let’s dig up the interesting character named Matt den Dekker. A 5th round selection out of Florida in 2010, Den Dekker Continue reading
With 8 weeks left in the regular season, reality is settling in like a haze around Citi Field. After losing 5 in a row, the Mets appear to have finally run out of magic.
