Itching to jump back into Liberty City yet? The New GTA IV website has been launched, in preparation for the quickly approaching April release. The previews so far have been somewhat light on details, but the site finally sheds some light into what kind of trouble you can expect to get into while traversing a virtual NYC.

That's assuming you have 10 hours of your life to spare. Fox Sports has a great little interview with the man behind the RBI Baseball re-enactment of the 10th inning of Game 6 in the 1986 World Series, which we mentioned last week. For those that were wondering how Conor Lastowka (the man behind the amazin' clip) did it, the interview clues us in. It turns out that Lastowka used a Nintendo Emulator on his computer to recreate the half inning (makes sense when you think about it).

What the Yankees have, the Mets must also have. At least when it comes to television networks. Today, Sterling Entertainment, Time Warner, and Comcast launch SportsNet New York, a 24-hour regional sports network. The network will carry as many as 125 Mets games in its first season and will be the "official" TV home of the New York Jets. Of course, they won't be carrying any actual Jets games, but that's a minor detail. In addition to the Mets and Jets, the channel will carry basketball and football games from the Big East and Big Ten. That's great news for Gothamist as we can't get enough Big Ten action.

Two weeks after the city council passed a bill providing harsher penalties for fans that enter a field of play and try to harm athletes, Mayor Bloomberg signed the bill into law. The law calls for up to a year in jail and up to $25,000 worth in fines. The Post graciously points out that the old law in place, aka the "Calvin Klein Law", only called for fines for those that stepped onto the field of play. For those with short memories, Klein attempted to talk to Latrell Sprewell in 2003 at a Knicks game as Sprewell was trying to inbound the ball (Klein was physically restrained and checked into Hazelden shortly after).

After reading that Keith Hernandez was selling his Midtown East apartment on Curbed, Gothamist immediately thought of one of the best Seinfeld episodes everm The Boyfriend, Part 1. Jerry befriends the ex-Met, but then questions the extent of their friendship when Hernandez asks Jerry to help with his move. And there's the brilliant JFK-esque subplot about why Kramer and Newman hate Keith Hernandez (you can read the script to Part 2 here). This is also the episode where Vandelay Industries makes its first appearance.

Newsday points out that the Mets are now a whopping nine games below .500. That elusive mark that the Mets toyed with earlier in the season seems all but out of the picture at this point. The good news is that the Mets string of games with "who dat's" in the lineup may end Monday when Mike Piazza returns.

Michiko Kakutani looks at various celebrity chidren's book authors (some Madonna, some Lynne Cheney, even Keith Hernandez) and finds many of them, with their "very special messages," uninspiring. However, the one she takes to task is Jerry Seinfeld for his book, Halloween:
