Here 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.
Below is video from the Jason Bay press conference courtesy of NJ.com. Also, I received an email from Mets.com this evening with a special message from Jason Bay. Click here to view it.

Matthew 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!
I’m sitting in my living room as I type this and my house is a complete mess. I’m getting my windows replaced today so unfortunately I don’t know if I will have time to do a video. With that said, I wanted to leave you guys with a few things that I’ve been reading.
1. Metsblog is reporting that the Mets have signed Henry Blanco. My first thought: Another catcher? My second thought: What’s the future hold for Omir Santos and Josh Thole? I guess time will tell.
2. Baseball Bloggers Alliance buddy Greg Fertel of Pending Pinstripes informed us yesterday that MLB has hit the Yankee Universe with a cease and disist order. You can read more about it here.
3. YouTube user noby03 has a great freeze frame video of an Ike Davis at bat. Check it out below.
Lastly, just a reminder you can follow me on Twitter or friend me on Facebook.
I’m a bit busy at work this week so I couldn’t do a video today (but I’ll be back tomorrow). With that said, here are a couple videos for viewing pleasures:
1. Below is a funny “This is SportsCenter” commercial of Mr. Met letting Josh Hamilton know he’s not happy with him (very funny).
2. Even more funny is a video of Mr. Met dancing at an Indian Wedding (special thanks to Twitter user scratchbomb for linking this). About 35 seconds into the video is when the real fun begins! Check it out here!
I found this video on PannerVision’s YouTube Channel. The description says:
This footage was unearthed in 2008 as part of an extensive search to find material for the NEW FEATURE FILM “TOUCHING THE GAME: ALASKA” touchingthegame.com
In the video below, newly hired Brooklyn Cyclones Manager, Wally Backman has a message for the fans.
Thanks to Matt Cerrone over at Metsblog.com for finding this video.
Jon Stewart recently opened the Daily Show with a little jab at us Mets fans. Man we are just taking a beating from every direction these days…

This video is entitled “New York Mets – A 1 Year Dynasty” and it was put together by YouTube user DGlaze91. Every time I watch this video I am reminded how tough it is to be a Mets fan. Regardless I love my team!
