Terrorists have broken into Citi Field on Christmas Eve and are trying to steal what little money the Wilpons have left.  Unfortunately for the terrorists, they didn't count on one thing: Daniel Murphy.  Murph is determined to save the day and win back the second base job. One thing is for sure, it's a bad day to be a terrorist...and Justin Turner.

Mets Players Going Crazy For "Horsemanning"

If you haven't yet heard of the new trend "horsemanning", consider yourself lucky.  Basically the idea is to get a friend and take a photo that makes it look like you are holding your own head like the headless horseman.  Considered the new "planking", many are hailing it as THE hot new internet photo trend while others call it an enormous waste of time.  This current group of Mets players have shown themselves to be very into social media and internet trends so it was no surprise to me when I started receiving these horsemanning pictures from various Mets players in my inbox. Enjoy.

Lil' Murph's Diary: A Depressed Lil' Murph Writes To His Diary

Dear Diary,

Hi.  Remember me?  It's been weeks since I wrote and, to tell you the truth, it's because I'm a bit depressed.  My season is over and my stupid knee still hurts.  On the plus side I am getting darn good at hopping on one leg but don't think that that kind of running is going to get it done in spring training next February.

While I'm still super pissed about getting injured, what really has me bummed out is how all my positions are getting taken over by other guys.

Superstitious Mets Finding Success By Avoiding All Things Willie Harris

Sometimes you go looking for stories and sometimes they just find you.  The other day I was standing around in the Mets' locker room shooting the breeze with Angel Pagan.  Angel was explaining to me the small changes he's made in his approach that has him hitting so well now after such a rough start to his season.

As he was talking I noticed a few Mets coming out of the training room and taking a circuitous path back to their respective lockers.  It looked like they were consciously veering around a particular locker almost as if there was one of those invisible dog fences around it.

Welcome Aboard Justin Turner & Dillon Gee

Even though David Wright and Ike are on the shelf for a while, the Mets train must continue to roll.  So welcome Justin Turner and Dillon Gee to the train.  No some of you out there believe the train is cursed because the minute Ike got on board he got stepped on by a clumsy third baseman and ended up on the DL.

So here's the deal. If either Gee or Turner get hurt this week.  I'll replace all the guys on the train with 5 pictures of Willie Harris.

Mets Name Lustin Emurphy Opening Day Second Baseman

Disheartened after weeks of watching a futile war of attrition for the second base job unfold at spring training, the Mets have changed tactics and named Lustin Emurphy the opening day second baseman.  Lustin, pronounced "loose tin" would be an amalgamation of the four leading candidates for the job.
