PM Sports, who produce some of the funniest sports video spoofs on the web, really hits the mark with this one. I’m sure many of you have read or heard the reecent polls that suggest that somehow Philadelphia sports fans are the best in the country. Well PM Sports debunks that in the following video, though I caution you not to let the kiddies watch.

The weather may have dampened plans to get a game in today for the Mets, but it certainly didn’t rain on Beltran’s parade as both Terry Collins and Sandy Alderson confirmed that he will indeed play in the final two grapefruit league games and be in the lineup on Opening Day for the Mets. “Carlos said he’s feeling good and he’s ready to go,” Sandy Alderson said. “At some point you’ve got to move forward.” [...]

Today’s 3 Up, 3 Down is a dedication to the Joys and Aggravations of being a fan of the New York Mets. They are in no particular order. Three Up 1. Things Uniquely New York Mets, or what I call Metcentricities: The best team song ever, I get goosebumps whenever I hear “Meet the Mets”. The best mascot ever in Mr. Met. Who doesn’t get excited when they see Mr. Met at a game? Citi Field [...]

Yes, yes, yes, I know, I know, our true ace, Johan Santana is on the mend. But in his place we have two pitchers who will fill in admirably while he’s gone. For now, they are our co-aces and both of them know they have a lot riding on them this season. BIG PELF! Mike Pelfrey gets the nod on Opening Day as he seeks to improve on a 15 win season in which he [...]

Skeptics and doom and gloomers aside, the starting rotation for the Mets this coming season may end up surprising even the most hardened of experts. Granted having Johan Santana on the shelf optimistically until June, realistically and probably until 2012, doesn’t warm the blue and orange blood running through a Met fans veins.   However, looking back at 2010, most Met fans will tell you that in spite of the fourth disappointing season in a [...]

DONTRELLE WILLIS Remember this guy? Facing the the D-Train in a three-game series against the Florida Marlins was always one of the least favorite things to do for the Mets back during the 2003 – 2006 seasons. Dontrelle Willis went 11-3 against the Mets with a 2.51 ERA in 19 starts. Willis won the Rookie of the Year in 2003 and was nearly unstoppable in 2005 when he went 22-10 with a 2.63 ERA and 1.13 [...]

Pedro Beato has been one heck of a player in the spring, and it looks like all his hard work just payed off for him. According to Sports Illustrated’s Jon Heyman, Pedro Beato is going to be on the Mets opening day roster in the bullpen.  This was what Jon Heyman said via Twitter: Beato to make Mets. 12th pen spot between (between) boyer, Izzy, and Acosta. Emaus is 2b, Harris, Hairston, Hu, Murphy reserves Speaking [...]

Rich Couthino of MetsBlog.com summarizes how today went for Carlos Beltran who played five innings in a minor league game, hitting, running the bases, and fielding his position in right field. Carlos Beltran continued his journey towards Opening Day, playing five innings in right field during a minor league game in Port St. Lucie. In his first at bat, Beltran fouled out to third, and did not seem to get a good jump on a [...]

Angel Pagan heard all the rumors that he wasn’t an everyday player, but that didn’t stop him from turning it on and having one the best seasons on the Mets in 2010. He exploded offensively batting .290 and scoring 80 runs while stealing 37 bases, but he also showed some surprising pop with 31 doubles and 11 home runs to go with 69 RBI. Not bad for a table-setter! Defensively, Pagan is as superior as any outfielder in [...]
