Am I The Only Mets Fan Left?

Lou Russo — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:49:00 +0000

Being a Mets fan has almost always been a lonely thing. Lately, it seems like solitary confinement. I put the game on at night and they try their best not to show shots of the crowd, mainly because there isn’t one, It’s as if the stadium announcer could introduce the crowd faster than the teams. It’s [...]

Toms River's Todd Frazier Hits Home Run for Down Syndrome Boy [VIDEO]

Matt Ryan — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:51:50 +0000

It’s just another reason we are proud to call Cincinnati Reds all star and Toms River native Todd Frazier one of our own. The Cincinnati Reds auctioned off the chance to be batboy for a game last season for charity. A 29-year-old with Down’s Syndrome won, and he did such a good job that the [...]

The First Two Signs Of Spring Have Been Spotted

Lou Russo — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:53:07 +0000

I’m no meteorologist, I’m not even a groundhog, but I’m pretty sure I’m seeing signs of spring. It’s not scientific. It’s not even related to the weather, but it makes me feel good. Over the past few days, pitchers and catchers arrived at baseball’s spring training. If you’re a baseball fan, you know what that means. It’s [...]

Todd Frazier Helps the Shore Stay 'Jersey Strong' [VIDEO]

Matt Ryan — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 08:03:06 +0000

Todd Frazier threw the winning pitch in the 1998 Little League World Series catapulting Toms River, NJ into the international spotlight. Frazier now plays in the majors for the Cincinnati Reds, but Toms River is still his home and he is still “Jersey Strong.” It’s refreshing when a hometown star doesn’t forget his roots. ESPN [...]

Young Baseball Fan "Errors" on Father's Day [VIDEO]

Laurie Cataldo — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 18:11:51 +0000

Boys will be boys…and they will always look up to their Dads. One boy’s ‘gift’ to his father though doesn’t quite get the reaction he had hoped. Check out this little Tampa Bay Rays fan…someone hands him a foul ball, and he immediately throws it back on the field…much to his father’s dismay. My favorite [...]

Are You a NY or Philly Baseball Fan? This Map Claims to Have The Answer [PHOTO]

Matt Ryan — Thu, 31 May 2012 20:14:04 +0000

Yankees, Mets or Phillies? A map from “New Jersey the Movie” claims that the alledgence to your team is based a lot on location. Is this map accurate? Let’s count the “Yankees” portions of the map as “Yankees/Mets.” You’ll notice a thin dividing line between the two teams. Additionally, both seem to be equally represented. [...]

Rude Baseball Fans Steal Foul Ball From Child And Make Him Cry [VIDEO]

Matt Ryan — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 01:05:40 +0000

The rudeness of some people is amazing, but this act of selfishness takes the cake. With New York fans always being poorly labeled, I'm glad it was made clear by YES announcer Michael Kay that this was clearly a mean act by one Texas fan to another Texas fan who couldn't have been more than 5 years old. See the video after the jump.

Mets Are In 1st Place…I'll Enjoy It While I Can!

Lou Russo — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 10:24:54 +0000

Opening Day at CitiField resuted in a 1-0 Mets win over the Atlanta Braves. The Mets are in first place! I say that now because this will likely be the only time I'll be able to say it all season long. For all you Yankees and Phillies fans out there, let me have my day. You guys will have all season to be in or close to first place. I have today.

Is Spring Training A Guy Thing?

Lou Russo — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:37:04 +0000

There is nothing that gets me more pumped up than hearing it's time for baseball's spring training. It's a sign that summer is right around the corner, and that my Mets are gearing up for another mediocre season. I know that men and women alike love baseball. But is spring training a guy thing?
