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..

Tonight I’ll be attending a get together for Mets fans and bloggers. The guys over at BlueAndOrange.net are hosting a Hot Stove Huddle. There will be a guest panel made up of a number of different Mets bloggers and they will be discussing everything Mets as it pertains to the 2009 season and looking ahead to 2010.

Just a quick note I saw on Mets.com about a Coat Drive:
Help keep New York warm this winter. Join the Mets, SNY, and New York Cares for the 3rd Annual “METS WARM – UP” holiday coat drive, December 16th, from 8 am – 7 pm at Citi Field. Drop off coats at the First Base VIP entrance and receive a pair of tickets to a select Mets game next April.
If you are in a position to help out those less fortunate then you, this is a good event to participate in. You can also get a pair of tickets to a game as well. For more about the Mets in the community, click here.
The Mets announced today that “it will wear a new pinstriped home uniform in 2010 that will be inspired by the early years of the franchise.”
My Quick Thoughts that I posted on Twitter: They’ll be the best looking uniforms ever if the Mets win the World Series. After all, that’s all that matters anyway…
FYI – anyone interested in purchasing the new jersey can click here.

According to Metsblog.com the Double-A Binghamton Mets have hired former New York Mets player Tim Teufel as their manager. This news comes on the heels of the Mets hiring Wally Backman to manage Single-A Brooklyn Cyclones. The hiring of two former Mets is going to lead some Mets fans to think (including this one) that maybe one of these guys could replace Jerry Manuel one day.
As a matter of fact, over at BrooklynMetFan.com there is a nice post asking, What’s the Over/Under on Backman to the Bigs Rumors? Some words of advice for Jerry Manuel, get the team off to a good start in 2010 please…
