As I type this, manager Willie Randolph is delivering his opening address to the team, with the first full workout to follow . Possible themes? Randolph was showing off his 1977 World Series ring last week, so he might bring that back as a prop, maybe to remind this group of the ultimate goal. Also, Randolph wants to stress that last year is over, and this season should be more of a dogfight in the NL East with the re-stocked Phillies already talking smack.
While I'm at it, here's today's Mets coverage (still taking my cues from Yankees writer Jim Baumbach -- the guy who revolutionized blogging on Newsday.com)
Alou to tap Fountain of Youth?
Mark Herrmann: It's not exactly the best way to start
Delgado to miss opener?

Maybe you should take your cues about blogging from the myriad of Mets bloggers out there, some of whom do great work and have really revolutionized sports blogging, as some have been plugging along for years. Instead, you refuse to link to them and otherwise pretend they do not exist.
