Bay's Partying Becoming An Issue For Mets Brass

They say it takes players a year to adjust to New York.  While this may be proving true for Jason Bay on the field, he is apparently having no problem adjusting off of it.   An anonymous member of the Mets front office told the Apple today that upon returning from Cincinnati, the Mets left fielder was called into a meeting with management about his off the field activities.

After doing a little digging around, The Apple has uncovered this photo taken at McFaddens earlier this year which seems to justify the Mets concern.

Rafael Rojas is a bouncer at McFaddens and he seems to believe Bay may have fallen victim to some outside influences.  "Right off the bat, we started seeing him in here a lot.", says Rojas.  "Then he got mixed up with Cowbell Man and things really started to get crazy."

Rojas told us that Cowbell Man, who was already notorious around Flushing for his wild behavior, took Bay under his wing and the partying got crazier as Bay's performance suffered.  "He wasn't even getting changed after games.", Rojas recalls.  "He was coming in here in full uniform."

With his performance not making the grade on the field, the Mets are putting their foot down.  As of Friday, Bay is banned from McFadden's and the team has threatened to fine him if he is caught out with Cowbell Man again.

Cowbell Man declined to comment.
