SNY’s post game video from Mets manager Jerry Manuel and spot starter Tony Armas, Jr.
Also, I posted an audio clip from WFAN’s Steve Somers speaking to Duaner Sanchez after the game last night. He talked about the line drive off his knee. You can see that post here.
I’ve got some audio clips for you this afternoon. Brian Schneider talks to WFAN’s Joe & Evan about their lifeless game in St. Louis last night. From ESPN Radio, Michael Kay talks to Chris Singleton about what it’s like to play for Jerry Manuel. From ESPN’s Baseball Today, Peter Pascarelli talks to Jerry Manuel prior to last night’s game in St. Louis.

One of the hot topics yesterday was Mets manager telling reporters before the game against the Yankees that the Mets are New York’s “second team”. You know what? He’s right. It’s funny how the media gets these things and runs with them like there’s some major story here.
The Yankees do dominate the New York baseball scene. There have been moments for the Mets, like in October 1969 and 1986. But by and large New York is a Yankees city. The Yankees have been here since 1903 and won 26 World Series’ and 39 American League pennants. Those are the facts.
So what’s the story here? The Mets franchise is still in it’s infancy compared to the Yankees. Jerry Manuel may be too honest with the media for his own good at times. I dislike the Yankees as much as anyone. But Jerry’s right. I’m still holding out hope that we can change that for a month in October 2008.
David Wright talks to Fox Sports Ken Rosenthal about a variety of topics. He discusses how the Mets players cost Willie Randolph and the coaches their jobs, playing for Jerry Manuel, and how good he thinks that the Mets really are.

Brian Runge has been suspended for one game by Major League Baseball for his actions on Tuesday night at Shea Stadium. I’m thrilled to see MLB take action like this with an umpire that was clearly looking for a fight. His aggressive actions (chest bumping Jerry Manuel) turned a docile situation into a combustible scenario that’s embarrassing to MLB.
Jerry Manuel and Carlos Beltran, who were both ejected by Runge, have received undisclosed fines.
