The New York Mets signed a new player today..ME. And they’ll sign you up too.The Mets have a really cool little marketing video going on right now. And, yes I know its just trying to get us to buy season tickets but I really laughed when I saw it.
If you follow this link here, You put in your name and phone number and this video becomes personalized to fit their “new” signing. Yes, I realize there will be a lot of comments on how the Mets really need to sign people this offseason. Lets just have fun with this for now.
Hey Shannon! So much for news being slow till January. It figures the one day he is really busy, the METSVERSE comes alive.
The New York Mets, Goya Foods and City Harvest team up to deliver 20,000 pounds of food to New York City food pantries during the holiday season, beginning with a distribution at The Community League of the Heights in Manhattan.
Goya Foods pledged to donate 20,000 pounds to City Harvest in celebration of Goya’s Hispanic Heritage Night at Citi Field in September.
Carlos Beltran ,Olga Luz Tirado of Goya, and Shannon Barbuto of City Harvest will be at The Community League of the Heights donating the food.
The Community League of the Heights is dedicated to the improvement of the quality of life for residents of the Southern Washington Heights area. Its pantry helps feed more than 400 families a week by distributing food packages twice a week to senior citizens and adults ranging from 18-45.

@Anthony Dicomo Tweeted about this earlier and you can find his Mets Cetera Blog here for other interesting posts.
The Mets have really been embracing the internet and the fans lately. GM Sandy Alderson answered questions sent in from the “Flushing Flash” and Twitter by Mets fans today. MetsBlog.com has a transcript of the questions and you can find them here. I am just going to post one question here. To see the rest go to MetsBlog.As Shannon always says, honor among bloggers.
Asked about his plan for the Mets two and three years out, Alderson said:
“There has to be an overall vision. There has to be a set of goals which allow is to fulfill that vision, and then you have to execute those goals on a consistent basis. We want to win, and be a consistent winner My definition of a winner is a little broader – we want to win, but known for how we win, how to go about things. Pitching is important, and offense needs to improve. Infrastructure is important. We’ve really built out the front office infrastructure down through player development. Plan is to be a winner on a consistent basis, and in order to do that is to be able to rely on a solid infrastructure. Consistency and excellence across the board on the baseball side.”
