Daniel from C70 At The Bat asked a few Mets bloggers (including yours truly) to participate in a Q & A entitled “Playing Pepper”. Click here to read my thoughts on the Mets off-season, key to success for 2010, team strength and much much more.

I received brochure in the mail today from Sports Travel and Tours (below is a pic of the cover). I was flipping through the brochure and there were a number of packages and deals for every region of the country. For example, there is an “Interleague Extra” package. 6 Ballparks, 6 Games, 9 Teams all in 7 days. The trip covers Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washington, Philadelphia and New York (Yankees). If you plan hitting the road this summer to visit a few ballparks you may want to check these guys out.

There is a lot of cool and interesting New York Mets PSL video out there. Below is a listing of some of my favorite from over the past week.

-Metsblog: Q&A: with Bobby Parnell, on Command and Year Two. Matt Cerrone sits down with Mets pitcher Bobby Parnell to discuss the upcoming season.

-Mets Today: Is That A Balk. Joe Janish critiques Ryota Igarashi delivery.

-ESPN.com: Mets 2010 Season Outlook. Buster Olney previews the Mets upcoming season

-NJ.com: Videos of David Wright, Jason Bay and more from NY Mets’ first full-squad workout. Below is video of Jason Bay taking batting practice.

I just wanted to give you guys a few links of some Mets stories I’m reading today:

-Metsblog contributor Michael Baron has posted some photos of his visit to Mets Spring Training.

-Eric Simon of Amazin Avenue gives a preview to the cover of The Amazin’ Avenue Annual which drops March 1, 2010.

-Below is a video I found over at Mets Report of ESPN’s Jayson Stark and Jim Caple discussing their picks for the biggest losers of the offseason. Yes the Mets are mentioned..

Check out this nice two minute video from the New York Mets which includes words from Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden and Jerry Manuel dedicated to Black History Month. Click here to watch.

In case you missed it, below is a nice scouting video posted on YouTube by ScoutingTheSally of Mets minor league prospect Wilmer Flores.

Not 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….

Just 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.

In 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.
