Here is what some of our favorite bloggers are talking about today…

The great and powerful Metstradamus extolls the virtues of the speedy one, Mr. Jose Reyes and his 14.81 second lap around the bases last night. I was at Liberty Bar and Grill with one eye on the NFL kickoff and the other on the Mets game. We quickly focused our attention on the Mets, and watched as it appeared Jose had knocked it out of the park, but our excitement grew to a frenzy as the prospect of an inside the park home run grew. As Jose slide past home plate, the entire bar, packed with football fans, erupted in celebration.

Check out this great post on Metsblog where Matt takes us back in time to a comment Rob Neyer made about Jose Reyes being one of the worst players in baseball.

Mets Fan In Oklahoma put together a great article about the Mets early domination in Run Differential. For us non-geeks out there, this is Runs Scored minus Runs Allowed. The Mets lead the league in this important category. Check out Steve's article here.

By the way, if you're ever looking for the best pre-game weather forcast, Steve is your man in that department as well.

Vinny from Metsville is not happy. Vinny can't get SNY and I want to help him out, find out how you can help here

I thought I'd already posted this information here, but I guess not.
Here's the phone number for the office of Bob Burns, SusCom's general
manager for the local area:

845-531-3924

I strongly suggest that you all flood this man's office with
complaints, as it is he as much as anyone who is responsible for the
predicament we find ourselves in. Your call will be fielded by a
secretary named Rose, so just ask to speak to Mr. Burns or to be passed
to his voicemail. And if you get a chance to speak to the man himself,
ask him how it feels to be the man responsible for stealing the Mets
from Putnam County.

Go get em Vinny, the Foot's got your back!

Mets Fan In Oklahoma gets us started with a great series preview against a team with high expectations for the first time I can ever remember, the fashionable wild card pick, Milwaukee Brewers.

If you haven't already checked it out, you really can't call yourself a true diehard Mets fan until you've become a regular reader of Always Amazin'. The great NJ.com blog written by Ryan McConnell. Along with MetsBlog and the rest of the Friends Of The Foot, its one of my favorites.

I hate to be a parrot but I had to make sure you read this article in New York Press that Matt from Metsblog.com brings to our attention about the joy of being a Mets fan.
