Terry Collins

After all of the coaches we have seen in recent years it feels like a new beginning with Terry Collins. I get the feeling that his optimism, energy and intensity is the jolt we need to ignite our lineup, rotation and ballpark. Collins was the maneger of the Astros and the Angels and led both teams to winning records and second place finishes. His departure from both teams seems like injuries and adversity got the better of him. Since '99 when he left the Angles he has been managing Orix Buffaloes of the Pacific League in Japan. Last season he worked in the Mets minor league system.

More fun to come Terry. Get these Mets into shape, ya hearrrd me?
In NOLA news, weather forecast: ridiculously nice. Time to go outside and play.

A New Season, A New Blog

Hello friends, family, and fellow Mets fans,

This should be an interesting year for our beloved Mets. These last few seasons have been rough. After all the heartbreak, I am excited for the Mets because sitting here in February, I honestly believe this could be our year. We have some questiomarks in the rotation and the bullpen but I have faith in Coach Collins, our lineup is solid, I like the new GM Alderson, and Santana will be back before too long (hopefully). Enjoy reading this blog! Email me at travlinmetsfan@yahoo.com if you want to talk about the blog, Mets or NOLA. Spring training is here and a new season in upon us, anything can happen.

Lets go Mets!
