Friday, February 5th, 2010Scouting Wilmer Flores
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010In case you missed it, below is a nice scouting video posted on YouTube by ScoutingTheSally of Mets minor league prospect Wilmer Flores.
David Wright Wears Guyliner
Saturday, January 30th, 2010Not sure whether to file this under “Embarrassing Mets Moments” or not. I found this video over at DblJerseyGirl’s YouTube Channel. Hopefully the guys in the clubhouse will give Wright a good ribbing for this one….
Links: Gary Matthews Jr, Daniel Murphy and David Wright
Monday, January 25th, 2010Just wanted to give you guys a few links of some Mets stories I read over the weekend:
-At Metsblog Michael Baron writes about how Gary Matthews Jr was a good teammate in LA. This is good to hear because the last thing the Mets need right now is trouble in the clubhouse.
-Wendy Adair of the Bleacher Report wonders if 2010 is the year for Daniel Murphy To Shine or Fade. I’ve said in the past, if the Mets don’t bring back Carlos Delgado they better have a back-up plan that does not include Murphy playing every day. Murphy playing every day for a team that claims they want to win is unacceptable.
-Over at The Ropolitans, Andrew’s readers have spoken. They have voted David Wright as 2009 Met of the Year. If you recall, when the season ended I picked Luis Castillo as my choice for 2009 Mets MVP.
Cerrone Interviews Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010In the video below, Matt Cerrone of Metsblog interviews Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry. They discuss role models, their time with the Mets and being inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame. Gooden and Strawberry are probably my two favorite Mets of all-time so it’s good to see them back in Blue and Orange.
Links: Beltran Responds, Mike Pelfrey & David Wright
Friday, January 15th, 2010Happy Friday. Here are a few links to get your day going.
-Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last few days, you know that Carlos Beltran had surgery on his knee and the Mets are not happy about it. Beltran recently responded to the Mets. Check out Metsblog to see Beltran’s comments. My thoughts: It’s really unbelievable how many issues fill the Mets organization from top to bottom. No reality TV show can compete with the drama that is the New York Mets. I wonder if this would have happened a few weeks earlier if Jason Bay would have still signed with this team…
-WFAN had a number of Mets visit their radio station this week. One of the more entertaining interviews was Mike Pelfrey on the Boomer and Carton Show.
-In the video below courtesy of NJ.com David Wright discusses the upcoming 2010 season. This interview was done a few days before the the Beltran mess came out so it’s kind of funny to hear Wright say “we have to find a way to stay healthy…”
Links: Me, We Believe and Alomar Denied
Friday, January 8th, 2010Here are a few links to get your Friday morning started:
-Check me out over at Mets Police as I answer questions about this blog and my expectations of the Mets in 2010.
-Watch Roberto Alomar over at The Ropolitans as he explains his disappointment in not making the Hall of Fame. I voted for Alomar and was shocked he didn’t get in.
-Watch the video below courtesy of Matt Cerrone’s YouTube Channel. New York Mets 2010 Promo, “We Believe in 2010.” Not sure if I believe yet, but we’ll see.
Video: Jason Bay Press Conference

Will Mike Pelfrey Bounce Back Next Year?
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Matthew Cerrone of Metsblog made an appearance on the Blogs With Balls Show today. I was fortunate enough to send in a question to Matt. I ask him, “How confident are you that Pelfrey will improve and have a bounce back year?”. Click here to listen to Matt’s response and also his thoughts on a number of other issues concerning the New York Mets.
As a side note, here is a great sound bite of the interview where both Matt and Don talk about OnTheBlack.com and give me some really nice compliments. I totally appreciate it guys!
