"It is impossible to overcome dysfunctional ownership. ... Maybe the problem is you, Woody."

Alex Smith calls Jets' owner Woody Johnson "cowardly" for his lack of accountability this season 😳

One thing about Mets fans is they experience the entire range of human emotion basically every night.

Good morning, #Mets fans 😁

Five years ago, David Wright wrote about what it meant to play for the @Mets. Tonight, the team is retiring his number and inducting him into the Mets Hall of Fame: “September 29, 2018.

I’ll never forget that day as long as I live.

The last time I had the immense honor of putting on that number 5 New York Mets jersey and taking the field for the best fans in all of baseball.

And, I gotta say, I’m not an overly emotional person. As my wife will attest, you’ll almost never see me cry. But that day?

Wow.

That whole experience threw me for a loop, and the tears….

They just kept flowing.

It was like I couldn’t shut off the faucet.

And it’s weird because you want to enjoy the moment as much as possible, but, at the same time, you know it’s the end.

Like … this is it.

So as happy as I was to be able to, I guess — and I’ll put quotation marks around this — ‘make it back,’ I knew getting back on the field in Queens that night also meant the end of my run.

There was no coming back.

As an athlete, you always want to go out on your own terms. You want to write your final chapter. Not many people get the opportunity to do that, though — and I guess you could say that I didn’t get the chance to do that either. But I did get that one final night to express how I felt about the city, and our fans, and about the organization.

I couldn’t be more thankful for that opportunity....

Now, sure, selfishly … yeah, I wish with all my heart that I could’ve made it back and played a few more years and been able to show the fans the David Wright they remembered. I would’ve loved to have made that happen.

But I gave it everything I had. I really, really did.

It just wasn’t in the cards for me....

To have gotten that chance to tip my cap to the fans and everyone involved in the Mets organization — from ownership on down the line. That was truly special for me....

These fans, this city, they took me in and fully accepted me as an honorary New Yorker.” https://t.co/JQcMOVWh90

[SNY Rangers @SNYRangers]

All-time leader in playoff goals. Third in regular season goals. Top 10 in several other categories.

And above all, Ranger in every sense of the word.

Thank you, Kreids.

Happy Monday.

[SNY Mets @SNY_Mets]

While the Mets were busy sweeping the Rockies out in Colorado this weekend, their chief NL East rivals - the Phillies and the Braves - continued their malaise, both suffering sweeps on the road

Philadelphia has lost 9 of its last 10 games, while Atlanta has dropped 7 straight and is now 10 games under .500 for the first time since the 2017 season

The Mets have opened up a 4.5 game lead in the division after winning 12 of their last 15 games
