On The Black Top 10 Blog Post of 2010:

1. Playing for Peanuts –Wally Backman Gets Ejected: Fan favorite Wally Backman goes crazy in this Playing For Peanuts video. Classic stuff.

2. Photos – Citi Field Tour: Pics from a weekend tour at Citi Field. Some nice shots from the press box, field level and bullpen. I highly recommend taking this tour.

3. Photos: McFadden’s Citi Field, HR Apple and More: A look at McFaddens Citi Field before it was complete and the Mets home run apple on the move.

4. Mets Blogger Roundtable: 2010 Predictions: Joe Janish of Mets Today predicted under 81 wins, Dave Doyle of Mets Report predicted over 81 wins. The end result was the Mets finished at 79-83 in 4th place in the NL East.

5. Poll: Luis Castillo Confidence Level: One of the more interesting blog posts to look back on. If I ran this poll again today I’m pretty certain the results would be MUCH different.

6. Twitter: Mets Fans React To The Terry Collins Hire: I really hope Collins can get the job done.

7. Mets and A’s 1973 World Series Introductions: I love looking back at old Mets footage.

8. Poll: Which Roster Cut Surprises You The Most: Interesting in looking back at this one and that the two with the most votes are no longer in the Mets organization.

9. Ron Artest New York Mets Rap Song: Ron Artest wanted to make sure everyone knew he was a Mets fan.

10. Playing for Peanuts – Wally Backman Post-Game Speech: One of the many classic tirades by fan favorite, Wally Backman.

Igenerally – Mets have been a dull offensive team to watch since moving into Citifield it plays too BIG! Pitching is of course important but let’s be honest many teams don’t have A plus pitching such as Giants or Phillies. Citifield has been a curse to the Met offense it has a bad effect on Met hitters at home and on the road. Move in fences and lower the walls it’s time.

As someone who lives in Central New Jersey I would welcome this idea as this could potentially lead to an easier commute to Citi Field for me to watch the Mets. Watch the Fox News video below for more details.
