It's been a while, friends...I'll explain my recent absence more later (spoiler altert: it's really not that interesting). But I thought I'd post this, cos when Peter Gammons talks, I still listen. Gammons was asked how the Mets can improve for next season. Here's the short version of what he said:
- “Hire a really strong, competent, forceful CEO with a widespread understanding of the business, development and people.”
- “Use their market and SNY television network advantage to acquire talent through the draft and the international stage.”
- “Stop worrying about comparisons with the Yankees.”
- Acquire one quality starting pitcher.
- Acquire a young catcher, like D-Back’s C Chris Snyder, Indians C Kelly Shoppach or Rockies C Chris Ianetta.
- Acquire a power bat, either at first base or in the outfield.
- More mustaches.
I think it's going to take a little more imagination than that (new owners? new attitude?)...unless we nail down his last point, that is.

We at the American Mustache Institute think you would be better served focusing on modern men of mustache and perhaps nominating some -- like Keith Hernandez or Willie Randolph -- for the "Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year" honor which you can do here:
