Some of you may have seen this video. It has over 200K views on YouTube. Evidently David Wright's offseason training regimen included workouts with Mike "The Situation" from the Jersey Shore and lots of Vitamin Water. If it produces more power this year I'm all for it. ;-)

I had my first trip to Citi Field last Saturday night and am ready to share my thoughts (and videos) about the Mets' new stadium.

What I Liked

This video shows a very good view of Citi Field from the outfield.

I did a quick demo of the Major League Baseball application for the iPhone and iPod Touch. MLB at Bat seets to be the best iPhone application to use for keeping track of the major league season. The app costs $9.99 for the season and the best feature of it is the gameday audio which allows you to listen to audio of any game if you're near a WiFi or cellular data connection. In game video highlights is another great feature of the application.

This might get people smiling a bit more. Johan Santana tosses batting practice yesterday. The word now is that Johan will be ready for opening day. Yay!

I shot this video at Shea in May of 2007. It's nice to soak in a bit more Shea as we move closer to the opening of CitiField. Soon we'll all be wrapped up in the new season and may not think about the old stadium so much.

The Mets pulled off a pretty wild trade that has netted the team a guy who looks to be the setup man for Francisco Rodriquez.

The Mets picked up J.J. Putz a 31-year old relief pitcher from Seattle as part of a three team, 12-player trade. When the smoke cleared three signature Mets players were gone.

Aaron Heilman and Endy Chavez were shipped to the Mariners. Joe Smith was shipped to the Indians. Three minor league players, including Mike Carp, were shipped off by the Mets as well.

The New York Post weighs in on the deal and Putz:

I wish!

Another video from my jaunt down to Sarasota. Hear the crack of the bat as the Braves take batting practice.

A couple of minutes from the Reds vs. Braves yesterday. The Braves pitcher overthrows the catcher on a sure double play ball with the bases loaded. The next batter drives in a run with a sacrifice fly.
