According to sources on the Mets' flight to St. Louis, shortstop Jose Reyes confronted beloved former player Keith Hernandez over remarks Hernandez made on SNY about Reyes. Last Sunday, Hernandez criticized Reyes throwing his glove after committing an error during the Yankees-Mets game (which the Mets eventually won) saying Reyes had to "get over that. Enough babying going on now. He's a grown man. He's been around a long enough time. Take off the kid......

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. To start, our virtual Queens is a land called "Dukes." Here, we've got a baseball team not so......

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......

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......

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......

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......

After winning a game Friday night against the visiting Dodgers, the Mets promptly dropped the next two. They lost Sunday's farce of a game, 10-2 (box score). Robin Ventura could have singlehandedly defeated the Metropolitans with his grand slam in the 5th inning. It was the 17th of his career. 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......

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: "Jerry Seinfeld's Halloween has an even more offensive message: greed is good and rudeness is funny. His hero, an obnoxious brat, spurns some of the trick-or-treat candy he has received with snarky disdain:......
