Lunch Links- Mex, Billy Martin, MLB Network, and More

While I’m here getting pumped up for the Phillies series, I decided to put some links out today. Some of them I’ve had for a while now but I think you’ll like. Anyway, onto the links…

  • This one is from July 7th but I thought you’d want to see it anyway. David Pinto wrote a piece for Yahoo Sports about the parallels between the Yankees 1978 firing of Billy Martin and the Mets firing of Willie Randolph.
  • David Peters, a PhD professor of engineering from the Washington University of St. Louis wrote a tremendous piece about how lefties have an advantage in baseball. It’s really compelling information and got picked up by Sporting News.
  • Cyril Morong, writer of the excellent blog Cybermetrics, writes that fast players such as Jose Reyes aren’t “blocked” from hitting doubles and triples with slower runners on base in front of them.
  • ESPN’s Jayson Stark picks the Phillies to win the NL East in his “That’s Debatable” column.
  • John Donovan tries to make sense of the NL East in his column for Sports Illustrated.
  • Awful Announcing has some good information on the upcoming MLB Network. Included is the rumor that they’re considering adding analyst Harold Reynolds from SNY to the network.
  • SI’s Jon Heyman gets into the latest trade rumors including the Mets interest in Seattle Raul Ibanez and Cleveland’s Casey Blake. He says that Omar Minaya especially likes Blake.
  • SNY analyst Keith Hernandez talks to WFAN’s Boomer & Carton about the Mets and his reported dispute with Jose Reyes. Listen here.

Audio- Eddie Coleman And Baseball Today

The news of the Mets tying the Phillies for first place in the NL East has been all over the mainstream media and the blogs today. It’s thrilling to have the team, that was thought to be dead in the water a month ago, back in first place and looking stronger than at any point this season.

Here are a couple of audio links for you this afternoon on the topic of the Mets. Mets beat reporter checks in with WFAN’s Joe & Evan. And ESPN’s Baseball Today covers all of the top stories in baseball including the Mets shaking up the NL East. Peter Pascarelli and Steve Phillips discuss the events of the day.

Audio: July 7- Eddie Coleman Beat Report

WFANImage via Wikipedia

WFAN beat reporter Eddie Coleman calls into the Joe & Evan show with his daily Mets news. The studio hosts make this especially difficult to listen to today. Resident meat-head Joe Benigno starts out the interview by telling Coleman that Billy Wagner is no better than Armando Benitez. Unfortunately, that’s the type of moronic banter that we Mets fans have to suffer through to get the report from Eddie Coleman. Ugh. Our burden to bear…

Consider yourself lucky that this is an audio clip and you don’t have to see Benigno. Occasionally, he’s on SNY and looks like a skeleton with a suit and tie on. It’s truly frightening.

The topics include Ryan Church, Moises Alou, Billy Wagner (of course), and the Phillies series concluding tonight.
