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.
