Jason Pridie is Reminder to Stop WAG Star Prejudice

Found November 12, 2011 on Legend of Cecilio Guante: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jason Pridie
TEAMS: New York Mets,  Penn State Nittany Lions

Picimg_mlb_feb_25_102b
All this Penn State stuff has me desperate to tackle something a bit lighter, yes? Good.Late this week, my beloved Mets waived utility outfielder Jason Pridie. Pridie, who batted .231, stole 7 bases and did nothing particularly remarkable during his time-to-date in Queens. He may well be back, if he is not claimed.Regardless, he will now forever be emblazoned in my memory. OK, I’m lying, Well, sort of. You can bet I will never again dismiss Jason Pridie…if only because of his soon-to-be-wife – Bianca Cruz.We thought it noteworthy to shine the spotlight on Pridie (cough, Cruz, cough, cough) if only to bring to light a national issue that demands resolution – the prejudice of WAG coverage towards only sports largest superstars. Pridie and his soon-to-be-wife (they are set to marry in December, here’s their registry if you want to pick something up) have escaped notice of at least this sports blogger who consumes a good deal within this medium, a channel that seems almost magnetically ...

If Reyes Leaves Should the Mets Trade Wright?

Via Mets Merized Online  |  November 11, 2011
With the news that Jose Reyes and the Marlins are getting closer and closer to reaching a deal, it may become time to seriously consider what life for the New York Mets will be like without Jose Reyes. It is highly unlikely that Reyes or any other big name free agent will sign until the new CBA is in place, but the two sides could easily put together a deal that is just waiting to...

NYDN: If Reyes goes, Mets should admit they’re rebuilding

Via Matthew Cerrone's Mets Blog  |  November 12, 2011
“At 28, however, [Jose Reyes] is young enough to be a centerpiece when the young pitching finally makes its presence felt. And that’s the dilemma for the people running the Mets. … Alderson and his lieutenants do have a plan for the future. But if Reyes leaves, they should just admit that 2012 isn’t part of it. Otherwise their fans have a right to ask if this is New...

Video: Alderson On SNY Mets Hot Stove

Tonight, Sandy Alderson was a guest of Kevin Burkhardt on SNY’s Mets Hot Stove show. Here is Parts 1 and 2 of the interview courtesy of SNY.tv. Part One On Reyes – “We’ve had a couple of face to face meetings, but I wouldn’t call them substantive in terms of a contract negotiation…Once the exclusive period ends, and other offers roll in, then I think things become...

Mets to remove black drop shadow on uniform? They should get rid of the black uniforms!

Via MetsOnline  |  November 10, 2011
About the 2012 uniforms, via Adam Rubin of ESPN New York: “…The Mets are going to borrow significantly, I hear, from the early 1960s uniforms. … I hear the black drop shadow is going away, so it will just be the orange and blue lettering … script Mets for the home lettering, block letters NEW YORK for road. Even the bright white home uniforms (without the...

Reyes in Florida, Is It a Match?

Via Double G Sports  |  November 11, 2011
If you’re a New York Mets fan watching the following video, it’s just not good to have him enjoy his time in Florida. I’m not a blazing hot sun person so not a big fan of Florida but when a player has glowing reviews and has not even had a conversation with his previous team, it does not look good. Unfortunately, I think Reyes is gone but not sure to who anymore. The Mets...

Could New York Mets Fans Have to Watch Jose Reyes In A Philadelphia Phillies Uniform?

Via Rant Sports  |  November 12, 2011
Most of us have come to the realization that Jose Reyes played his last game as a New York Met and have accepted that reality.  The time is just not right for the New York Mets to pour such a large sum of money into a long-term contract.  What team might Jose Reyes sign with then?  We’ve heard rumors of several teams: San Francisco Giants, Milwaukee Brewers, Washington Nationals...

Mets haven't contacted Broxton

Via Mets Fever  |  November 12, 2011
Jonathan Broxton appears to be a good fit for the Mets, he's looking for a one year deal with incentives as he attempts to restore his career. The 27 y/o closer was a two time All-Star in which he collected 58 saves with an ERA under three. But Broxton hasn't effectively pitched in a year and a half, he's just over a month removed from what is described as minor elbow...

Photo from Bleacher Report From watching Sandy Alderson with Kevin Burkhardt  on Mets Hot Stove, I come to the conclusion that when he took the job last year and looked over the landscape of the organization , he couldn’t believe the mess it was in. One of the things he spoke about last year that had me singing his praise was putting together a uniform system of teaching the...
