Couple of noteworthy things to look at today. The first is the Mets are playing a day game today at 1:05. The potential National League MVP, Jose Reyes, will leadoff the game against the potential American League Cy Young, Justin Verlander. Should be a fun day. The Mets won the first game on a blowout, the second on a slugfest, could the third be a pitcher’s duel? Is Mike Pelfrey up for it?
Secondly today we need to get #votereyes trending on Twitter and also to vote for Reyes as many times as we can. It would be a travesty if Reyes was not the starting shortstop for the National League. While you’re voting, throw in some votes for Carlos Beltran too. On the American League side Asdrubal Cabrera deserves your vote, especially as he’s currently being led by a player having a poor season that’s on the disabled list in Derek Jeter. Mike Francesa thinks the All-Star Game should be Jeter’s personal 3000 hit celebration, which is even more fodder. Also, Alex Avila deserves your vote for AL Catcher.
Thirdly, last night a bunch of bloggers talked with Paul DePodesta and Michael Baron of Metsblog kindly put up a transcript. I’m sure there are couple of other breakdowns out there too.
