Around SBN: Can Tebow Say No To Anything?

Wednesday Morning Mets Newsstand

by Eric Simon on Aug 8, 2007 11:39 AM EDT in Applesauce Comment 7 comments

Lightning style today:

Moises Alou has been stinky. This is news to no one.

Barry Bonds hit #756 last night.3 Girls With Heart have an exclusive blog post from Nationals' play-by-play man Bob Carpenter. Neat stuff.

Carlos Beltran says he is at 75% and isn't sure when he'll return.

Wally Backman tendered his resignation as manager of the Peanuts of the indy South Coast League.

MLB.com looks back at Mike Piazza's dramatic homerun against the Braves on 9/21/2001. I was there; I cried, I cheered, it was cathartic.

Mikey Pizza!

Im hoping the Carlos B comes back soon. But only if he's healthy. The sooner Green goes on the bench, the better.

Met fan gets HR 756 ball.....

Is that too cool or what. Bloodied guy in Met's tee shirt and what looks to be a Reyes jersey being led out by the cops with homerun ball #756. Who is that guy?

I bleed blue and orange

I heard on the news this morning

that he is a 22-year-old from Queens who was in San Fran as a stopover on his way elsewhere.

I guess he decided to go to the game. That was a smart move.

Here, I found the story:

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

The HR ball guy

That picture of him is great, he just looks unbelievably thrilled and stunned.

I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit. To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has. If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
