The Mets have had a bizarre off season. First nobody wanted the GM job. Then they threw money around and landed talent. And now they STILL don't have a manager.

Wander Franco is getting a huge deal from the Rays. That is his choice as he is playing Deal or No Deal with his career. Good for him for picking the suitcase. Steven Matz is leaving the Blue Jays. Toronto can not let many more stars leave. And why do the A's, Rays and expansion teams need a 40,000 stadium? Why not a smaller one? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

2 weeks ago, the Suffering Index was calculated for 2022 to see which team needs a World Series title the most. But several listeners pointed out that the Suffering Index is slanted too much to postseason failures and did not take into account losing regular seasons. The new formula is this. (Number of Years Since a Team’s Last World Series Title) + (Number of Years Since a Team’s Last Pennant ÷ 4) + (Number of Years Since the World Series Title BEFORE the Last one ÷ 8) + (Number of Years Since a Team’s Last Post Season Appearance ÷ 16) + (Number of Deciding or One Game Playoffs LOST since last World Series title x 10) – (Number of Deciding or One Game Playoffs WON since last World Series title) + (Number of sub .500 Seasons Since Last World Series Title X2) + (Number of 100 loss Seasons Since Last World Series Title X3) = THE SUFFERING INDEX TOTAL Cleveland fans are suffering a lot... and could potentially end the suffering next year.
