It's hard to feel good right now as a Mets fan.
Outfielder Carlos Beltran had the knee surgery that he should have had last fall in January and is out for the first two months of the season.
New signing pitcher Kelvim Escobar, recovering from two years of shoulder issues and surgery, has had yet another setback in his rehab and will almost certainly start the season on the DL.
Now, most ...
Rick DiPietro Suffers Another Setback: Should He Call it Quits?
Posted: 15th December 2009 by Dan Karell in NHL
After losing four of their last five games, including a 7-1 thrashing from the Florida Panthers, the Islanders were dealt another blow. Injured star goalie, Rick DiPietro, pulled himself out of a game early into his first start in nearly a year.
DiPietro was taken out after two periods of an AHL minor league hockey game for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, due to "tightness".
DiPietro has already seen the team doctors, as ...
Never has that title been more true to me than it is right now.
Maybe I have some biasùas a Knicks fanùwatching Mike D'Antoni coach offense, offense, offense, and forget that defense exists.

After last season, where the leading ...
Admit it.
As an Islanders' fan right now, you must be ecstatic. When was the last time this team won four games in a row? Even more than that, when was the last time you had confidence in this team to win games?
Last season it was always a hope, but that hope usually faded by the third period. That trend carried over into the beginning of the season, but since the ...
Young Islanders Inability to Hold Onto a Lead Is Costing Them
Posted: 26th October 2009 by Dan Karell in NHL
In nine games this season, the New York Islanders have only won one game.
But even more than that, five of those nine have gone into overtime, with three of those going to shootouts
While the Islanders do get a point for making it to overtime even with their opponent, it is hurting the team because in many cases they had leads going into the third period, and then let the opponent ...
