The Mets are getting in on all this social media stuff. Check out their Google+, Tumblr, and Pinterest pages.
In a pretty logical move (every other team in Major League Baseball is going this way, too), the Mets have gone and made their presence known on 3 of the hottest social networking sites going. This reblog is from the Mets’ Tumblr blog. Just below, their Pinterest page:
And last, but not least, their Google+ profile:

Oh yeah, just the ole fake to first, run down the very fast baseballer and tag him out move. Yeah, seen it a hundred times.
If you sped this up and looped it, you could almost hear Yakity Sax in your head. Just awesome. Sorry Maybin.
The great announcer shuffle on SNY. It’s the first time Michaels and Costas are together since BASEketball. Will they ever be able to recapture that chemistry?

When I saw this, I immediately thought of this…
After getting the not-so-hard fought win the Mets 14-3 victory over the Tigers, RA Dickey told the gathering of reporters at his locker:
“What you guys are doing here is a little bit ridiculous. If I’m even mentioned in an article, I’m going to boycott.”
It was a nice little night for the Mets offense with Jason Bay and Carlos Beltran hitting grand slams in back-to-back innings. They were the first grand slams for the Mets since Angel Pagan’s bases clearing shot on August 1, 2009. When they come, they come in bunches. Or something like that.
It was not such a pleasant evening for Rick Porcello (3.2 IP, 11 H, 7 ER) or Daniel Schlereth (1.1 IP, 4 H, 6 ER). Porcello may still be young, but his prospect sheen is quickly fading. Not only has Porcello’s strikeout rate failed to markedly improve in his third Major League season, but his groundball rate is the lowest it has ever been. Needless to say, that’s not the goal of player development.
