Evan Roberts
Saturday, March 13th - Mets infielder Alex Cora is kind enough
to joins Evan on a Saturday morning to talk about his role with
the Mets as the Jose Reyes fiasco continues.

NY Daily News Adam Rubin spins an interesting yarn about Canadian Olympic curler Kevin Martin, retired teacher Jeff Francoeur’s father, and Mets Left Fielder Jason Bay.

Funny Tweet from Adam Rubin this morning.

“Bobby Bonilla distributing checks in clubhouse.
He works for Players Association. “Today you’re
the most loved man in the world,” Johan says”

Be careful Santana you wouldn’t want Bonilla to
show you the Bronx.

OnTheBlack.com’s Kerel Cooper who does a great video blog was joined by Dave Doyle of Mets Report and Joe Janish of Mets Today for “Mets Blogger Roundtable Series 2010” at McFaddens NYC to discuss the Mets Pitching.

In a segment titled “Assessing Reyes injury” for MLB Network you have Harold Reynolds, Tom Verducci, Matt Vasgersian and Al Leiter break down Jose Reyes medical situation. Ranging from what may have caused it to how long he may be out and who can replace him in the meantime. Then oddly when Al Leiter gets his chance to chime in he takes the conversation somewhere that seemingly has nothing to do with Reyes injury.

In what he called “thinking just as a Mets fan” Leiter tries to compare the Reyes situation with some big disconnect that in his rambling as if pressed for time he never explains what exactly in the Reyes situation is the disconnect that he is talking about to begin with. Leaving it for viewers to try and figure out what he is talking about.
Leiter seemed as if he was trying to create something more of the situation that may not necessarily be there getting tongue tied at times as he tried to connect the rather vague dots he created to events in the past. You watch for yourself and let us know what you think. Video courtesy of MLB.
