Off for the Weekend

Family obligations will keep me away for the next few days. I will be back on Monday with more on the Mets.

Have a great weekend!

Please have a safe enjoyable day and enjoy the turkey!

And if you are brought to this site today, feel free to enjoy For Love of the Game.

Some Site Enhancements

I worked on a number of site enhancements last night while the baby was asleep, which I hope will improve your viewing ability.

  • Improved comments, where you can reply and quote other comments in the thread.
  • A PDA template, so this site will work in a Blackberry, iPhone or any other PDA.
  • Headlines from SportSpyder on the side and a schedule with results, which right now is the 2008 one, but will become 2009 when available.
  • Use of video, so we will have some YouTube posts.
  • A daily Poll.

I hope all these work well with you and I will continue to work on this site as issues come up.

Changes To This Blog

I want to announce that John has left this blog for another venture. This was his decision and we wish him well as he pursues other opportunities.

That being said, I will keep this space running for the time being and over the next few months, I will be looking for other writers to join me as we bring you the Mets as they happen.

Right now, though, I will be running the NY Mets Report as the Hot Stove League heats up. Next month, I will be in Las Vegas for the Winter Meeting and will be blogging live from the Bellagio as the trades happen.

And for those of you who don’t know me. My name is Joe McDonald and I am going on my fifth season covering the Mets. Currently I am the Assistant Editor of Mets Inside Pitch magazine, the Managing Editor of NY Sportscene Magazine and the Editor of NYSportsDay.com. In the summer, I was always at Shea and this season I plan on being at Citi Field when they open the new joint.

Without any further ado, I would be more than glad to answer any questions you may have.

Server Problems Knocked Us Out Last Night

Just wanted to leave you guys a note apologizing for the server problems last night. The database server went down around 4 p.m. and needed to be repaired, which took the night.

I hope this is an isolated event and won’t be a problem in the future.

Again, I would like to apologize for the inconvience.
