Meet the Mets
As Chris Young and the Mets prepare to face the division rival Phillies for the first time tonight, one former Met remains in the news. Pedro Feliciano said more yesterday than in all 8 years he was with the Mets. In particular, Feliciano predicts jumping in celebration after striking Ike Davis out. I'm not really sure how he expects to pitch this season after the ruthless beatings inflicted on him by Dan Warthen and Jerry Manuel, but best of luck to him.
Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza appeared together on ESPN Radio and insisted that all that bat throwing/beaning stuff is behind them.
Why is it that no one gives David Wright a lot of credit for when he comes through in the clutch (and he does it fairly frequently)?
Cory Vaughn will join his Brooklyn teammate Darrell Ceciliani at Savannah to open the 2011 season.
Apparently, the 1962 Mets walked a lot. Who knew? Don't tell the Hirsch brothers.
Dan Warthen and Jon Debus have put together a special bullpen toychest for all their relievers to enjoy during the game.

Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick has had his World Series ring stolen.
