If you were wondering who the cheery guys in blue suits are at Mets games, check out TheMattsTv.com, and their interview with Duaner Sanchez.

The Legend of Cecilio Guante reveals photos of David Wright, who apparently enjoys licking his bat before stepping out of the dugout.

…no comment, too easy…

According to the Daily News, Paul McCartney may play the first concert at Citi Field.

Jon Heyman points out at SI.com that Mets PR man Jay Horwitz, is celebrating his 30th year with the organization, writing, “He has taken a grand total of four days off in those 30 years, two when his mother died a couple decades ago and two when he had the chicken pox.”

For more on Horwitz, check out the Daily News.

…i liken jay to richard on the show Lost… he doesn’t seem to age, and i remember him when i was a kid… he is a mainstay of the organization, and deservedly so…

Jeff Freier at Hot Stove New York says the Mets are playing powerless, yet effective, old-school baseball.

Lastly, Metsopolis is giving away tickets to the fan with the funniest Mets story.

    small-ball style of play is what this team needs. The power will come, and that will only combo with the small-ball style to provide very effective baseball.

    But small-ball is important and will win games when we are pitching well and more importantly, when facing good pitching (which usually exists in the, dare-I-say…post-season)

    My wife noticed the bat licking live action on Saturday, and her appalled reaction was priceless. Me, I say whatever works!

    Paul McCartney at CitiField would be tremendous, and a nod to Shea history we are not seeing much of at Citi! Wouldn’t rule out a Ringo cameo either – they teamed up at some benefit earlier this year.

    While we are talking about non-baseball at Citi – everyone assumes if/when NY gets and NHL outdoor classic it will be at Yankee Stadium, but Citi is configured so much better for such an event with the close-in OF seating. Plus the new Yankee Stadium is not longer an ‘historic’ venue like Wrigley or Fenway. Any word on it the Mets are considering a bid for an Islanders-Rangers classic?
