Top Five Blog Posts For January 2010

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Below is a listing of the top five most viewed stories on OnTheBlack.com for the month of January 2010

1. Early on in January I answered the question: Which Pitcher Should The Mets Pursue. Here we are weeks later and the Mets still haven’t pursued any of them and the list of free agent pitchers continues to get smaller and smaller…

2. As we get closer to the start of the season, I’m going to be asking you guys a number of different predictions for the upcoming season. The first one is how many stolen bases will Jose Reyes have in 2010. To see the results of over 300 votes click here.

3. In case you missed it, check out photos of my Willie Randolph and Cliff Floyd Autograph baseball.

4. In this video post, I try to wrap my head around the trade for Gary Matthews Jr.

5. Jason Bay is easily the biggest off-season move for the Mets (so far). To learn more about him, check out this blog post.

Photo: Willie Randolph and Cliff Floyd Autograph

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

I was digging through my basement and came across an autograph baseball signed by Willie Randolph and Cliff Floyd that was given to me as a gift a few years back. Take a look at some of the photos below.

Also, in case you missed these older blog posts check out what’s in my Mets Closet or my collection of Mets Baseball Cards.

Series Recap: New York Mets drop 2 of 3 to San Diego Padres

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Series Recap: The New York Mets lost two out of three to the San Diego Padres. Below is a recap of the series and a look ahead.


If your having trouble viewing this video, try the Quicktime version

Series Take-Aways:

  • Heath Bell Saves The Day: Former Met Heath Bell returned to NY and not only closed out two games in this series but will go down in the record books as recording the first ever save at Citi Field.
  • Sheffield needs a bit more time: So far Gary Sheffield looks a bit slow at the plate and a little late on pitches. I’m hoping this is more rust than old age. Either way we as Mets fans need to be a bit patient and give him some time to see if he can come around.
  • Inconsistent Pitching: Whether it’s Oliver Perez, John Maine or Mike Pelfrey, the Mets pitching has been very inconsistent so far this season and in my opinion its a big part of why the Mets have a 4-5 record.

Who’s Hot and Who’s Not:

  • Who’s Hot? How about Carlos Delgado? Delgado is batting .343, 3 HR and 12 RBI’s on the young season. From the looks of things it seems like Delgado is going to enjoy the Pepsi Porch. He has hit a couple bombs over the last two games.
  • Who’s Not? How about Brian Schneider? I know his primary role is defense but Schneider is batting .143 on the season and is a big part of the lack of production coming from the bottom of the line-up.

Up Next:

The Milwaukee Brewers come into town for three. The Brewers beat out the Mets on the last day of the season for the Wild Card in 2008. This weekend also marks the return of Willie Randolph as Brewers bench coach. It will be interesting to see how the Mets fan reacts to Willie.
