Note: 2000 Mets at Citi Field on Friday

by Matthew Cerrone on May 20th, 2010 at 11:05 am

The Mets will be gathering several members of the 2000 National League Championship at Citi Field before Friday’s game against the Yankees, in honor of their 10–year anniversary.

…i loved that team… i’ll be at the game super early Friday to try and meet, talk to and snap pictures of as many players i can, live blogging every step of the way…

…that said, why, WHY are they getting these guys together on the day they’re currently playing against the same franchise they lost to… i mean, wouldn’t it have been better to have this go down with the Cardinals in town, who the Mets defeated to get to the World Series

…that said, i AM glad to see these guys together… though, i wonder if Bobby Valentine will be in the house… i’m guessing he will not be, which is a shame… since, he was as much a part of that team’s success as any one player… however, i’d think his presence at Citi Field might be a bit of a distraction these days, to say the least…

Mike Piazza, Benny Agbayani, Edgardo Alfonzo, Mike Hampton and John Franco will be on SNY’s Mets Pre Game Show prior to Friday’s game.

…i believe SNY’s set will be set up next to the old Home Run Apple, in front of the Rotunda, just like they were for before Opening Day

Turk Wendell and Rick Reed will be guests Friday on SNY’s Daily News Live, which airs at 5 pm.

…from what i understand, players will be dropping by the booth during the game as well
