In the video above, ESPN’s medical expert Stephania Bell gives some really good insight into the Johan Santana injury and pending surgery. As we get ready for the off-season, forget about any possible trade or free agent signing the Mets could possibly make. Santana’s elbow will be my biggest concern.
Every week I will post a New York Mets related video that I find during my online travels. In sticking with the theme from this past weekend, here is the 1969 World Champion New York Mets singing You Gotta Have Heart. Check it Out!

In the above video I recap the Mets-Phillies series. This series had a little bit of everything: 40 year anniversary of the 1969 World Champion Mets, the return of Pedro Martinez and the unassisted triple play. I also discuss Angel Pagan, Oliver Perez, the recent injury to Johan Santana and the upcoming Mets-Marlins series.
I received an Upcoming Games and Promotions email from the Mets today:
>Mets At The Movies. The promotion says:
Our next Mets at the Movies event will take place at the Ziegfeld Theatre Wednesday, August 26. Join Mr. Met and fellow fans to watch the live SNY broadcast of the Mets and Marlins game on the larger than life screen at the Ziegfeld Theatre in Midtown Manhattan with ballpark style concessions, inning break trivia contests, fan giveaways, and more.
