Judging by the paper towels on the desk, I think Ron and Bobby O may have also ejaculated during the press conference.

Mets want to be aggressive in the free agent market every year, but as for this year... unlikely.

Question about 2011... He's not looking beyond, and we should have every chance to be competitive. Looking for more from Jason Bay and... others.

He doesn't like to be "mindless." That's a good sign!

The current question is from the Chinese press! Will there be Chinese players on the Mets in 2011?
