  6. Maybe it’s impossible to quantify what role the video games RBI Baseball, Joust and Battleship (the updated iPad version) have played in the Mets’ start to this West Coast trip. But the connection between the players this season is undeniable, and one manifestation of that has been their jumping around the cramped visitors’ clubhouse at Dodger Stadium , chirping at each other about sinking a PT boat or hitting a pixilated home run. “I think they enjoy being around each other,” manager Terry Collins said. “When the first bus comes, there’s 17 or 18 guys on it. They come to the ballpark to be around each other, and for some reason, it’s meshed on the road.

    I’d never before seen this “from the crowd” video of Carlos Beltran taking strike three to end Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS. “Noooooo!”

    Adam Wainwright threw one of the sickest pitches ever in a huge spot, though it’s impossible to see from this clip. The crowd reaction is great, though.





  9. We are bringing back Josh Byrnes and Sandy Alderson for a second round of interviews with Fred, Saul and me.
