SOMETHING SPECIAL: MATT CERRONE REPORTS!
FLUSHING, NY - Yesterday we promised bringing you something special, today. And special this is! In a groundbreaking, platform-crossing, cyberspace-rattlin’ meeting of great sports minds, a true baseball insider - Matt Cerrone - shares some exclusive info with us. And frankly, we are flattered. We are now that much more legit.
Please comment below and HELP US by doing the neighborly thing and checking out Metsblog.com. Even non-Met fans will find something enticing there. It would be extra special if you left our man Matthew a comment on his site as well.
And if this wasn’t your fancy, you at least have a very,
very ANGRY WARD to look forward to tomorrow, on
Angry Ward Wednesday.

Very good video. He is very detailed.
January 26th, 2010 at
Yeah I know this guy Cerrone he is almost as good as the Matts with the Met facts.
The Matts and Cerrone great relationship, now you guys have a straight man.
January 26th, 2010 at
Two questions: 1) Any relation to Rick Cerrone?
MORE IMPORTANTLY… .2) When can we shave his head and start calling him ‘Straight Matt?’
January 26th, 2010 at
I’m not gonna touch the “Straight Matt” comment from Cookie.
I like this potential partnership with Cerrone. Gotta say that after you guys have busted your tails getting interviews with people like Roberto Alomar, we can no longer say that someone is being a “good sport” by coming on this site. To paraphrase John Houseman: you’ve earned it.
All that being said, I’m still ticked about the Vikings and sick of your stupid faces. More on that tomorrow.
January 26th, 2010 at
I didn’t know the Matts are gay, I always suspected, but I didn’t know? Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
January 26th, 2010 at
John Houseman was a faux Brit.
January 26th, 2010 at
Maybe ChibaLotteAkita can be Matt Cerrone’s straight man next time. Seriously, that was as specific a piece of sports reporting can be. It was like science class with Cerrone being the teacher and The Matts giggling and fooling around.
January 26th, 2010 at
Good interview but three Matts and no abs.
January 26th, 2010 at
Nice work by all. Hot stove is time to get the juices boiling with some off the field news. Matt C always knows his stuff and Casey would’ve loved to pronounce his name - Matt C, Matt C, Matt C thats close to his Metsie, Metsie, Metsie rant when the Mets first started.
January 26th, 2010 at
Yo Sitc, if you are looking for Matt Abs I think he is the drummer for Gov’t Mule.
January 26th, 2010 at
Cerrone you lost me at “Role Models.”
January 26th, 2010 at
I give it a 7… If he talks Champs instead of Chumps, its a ten.
January 26th, 2010 at
bosoxbruins04 summed up that clip perfectly. i give straight matt the thumbs up. yet another mets fan i like.
on his site, the post after todays (on tatis) had ‘chien mien wang pitching off the mound.’ for a second.. i got scared.. thinking.. the mets were thinking of signing him. that’d just be classic. alas.. no… just some baseball news.

wade boggs once drank 64 beers during a cross-country flight
January 26th, 2010 at
Is he related to John Franco? Or is it just me??
January 26th, 2010 at
Shamrock and Irish back-to-back! Did the bars suddenly shut down?! Nice interview… I’m changing my BP strategy.
January 26th, 2010 at
I can’t be upbeat about the Mets until mid May and they’re over 500. I appreciate that these bloggers look on the bright side but I can’t. He IS John Franco too. That’s a good one.
January 26th, 2010 at
You should have at least thrown him a blue jacket… I think doc and Daryl would look good in blue suits too
January 26th, 2010 at
Matts,
Maybe Cerrone couldn’t relate to Strawberry and Gooden since he has never spent any time in a rehab clinic. TIme for you guys to ply him with women, wine and free lance pharmecueticals so he can get that 80’s “feel” for the Metsies of ol’ time. I suggest an Atlantic City junket, pronto.
Nice to hear the NY pitchers are feeling very confident….what, were they feeling insecure before the beginning of last season? Zit’s or rejected by some smokin’ babe? Did they get some special therapy or become Scientologists in the off season this past year to improve their mental condition? Here’s hoping their “little train that could” attitude translates into wins, strike outs and low ERA’s this year.
Next time you are feeling chilly, use the phase “it’s colder than a bankers smile”…..being near Wall street and all that, it’s appropriate. (wow, that’s cooooold) And when you are freezing your cohones off, amigo–it’s co-hone-ess- say it right or we’ll hit ya with the soggy tamale award for bad gringos.
Cheers, big ears

great interview . .Cerrone is great and so is his blog. I read Metsblog during the season, unfortunatley last season was kind of short …
Matt Cerrone, if you are rerading this, please make the Mets NOT get Smoltz.
Thanks!
January 26th, 2010 at
I can’t believe you had the chance to interview Cerone and not one question about his dad.
Another thing I can’t believe; Philview’s comments yesterday about Favre’s ankle did not include a reference to another famous egomaniacal ankle and a trip to the Halloween store.
Phamous Phanatic Stat of the Day: If he does not return to the Vikings, Favre will be the first QB in history to have his last pass for three teams be an interception.
January 26th, 2010 at
Angry Ward: Suffice to say, we’re speechless. Well, not really. But we’re looking forward to Angry Ward Wednesday!
Cookie: You are bestest of the best.
Dr. Diz: We categorically refute any criticism of Scientology. They scare the glasses off us.
Dude: We only have two blue jackets.
The Situation: We’ve got abs, pal. And we don’t say ‘Yis’…
Grote2DMax: You need a vacation.
MOS_3Qtr: Please explain the name.
Shamrock and irish: Astute. Guinness will do that.
Philly Phanatic: Your stats astound!
mezmanhattan: We will relay your message!
January 26th, 2010 at
John Smoltz as a Met would be HILARIOUS and even more so if announced on a Tuesday (as in.. before Wardesday).
PP’s last stat about Favre is the best stat ever. If that doesn’t get Favre and his gigantic ego to sucker some other team into taking him in the dog days of August, nothing will.
January 26th, 2010 at
Thanks Matts I’ll start my vacation on Friday
January 26th, 2010 at
I loved that stat, Phanatic and don’t care if it’s true. Matt Cerrone is the perfect counter to you guys. Does he know more than just the Mets? And I’m ill over the possibility of my Brewers moving to Orlando.

January 26th, 2010 at
What?!?! Walt.. what?!?!? That is RIDICULOUS!!!! California has FOUR… and Florida needs THREE?!? What? Why? So they could build another dome that no one will go to?!? That is ridiculous…. Draw up the petition… I’ll be the first to sign and take it to Bud Selig along with a can of a*s whip.
January 26th, 2010 at
The Brewers aren’t going anywhere. http://brewersbeat.mlblogs.com/archives/2010/01/brewers_dispute_orlando_report.html
Orlando needs a baseball team like the Mets need another inept, broken down catcher.
Glad to hear that the Mets “Brain trust” has arrived in Port St. Lucie (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/26/sports/baseball/26mets.html?ref=sports) to review plans for the upcoming season. Still looking for another starting pitcher and a catcher (Coste, Blanco, and Santos aren’t good enough???).I’m sure they’ll get it done…
I have to say this is the first time years that I am not looking forward to Pitchers and Catchers reporting in a few weeks. The future looks bleak. I hope I’m wrong.
January 26th, 2010 at
Late to the party here on the West Coast…great “get” guys, soon that SNY facade will be behind you.
Love that stat PP…could you look up his first pass and see if that was an interception as well? It’d make for great bookends.
Grote, nice call on Gov’t Mule!
January 26th, 2010 at
Great stuff today, gang, just great.
From the Favre Nation, another amazingly idiotic quote around fearless Brett from negatively-astute Tom Jackson on ESPN the other night -
“Brett Favre has always said that he’s never afraid to throw a pick - and I admire him for that.”
Hey, let’s get a show of hands to see how many of his teammates feel the same way.
I know one guy who appreciates the pick: slippery-fingered Adrian Peterson, he of the 12 fumbles on 10 carries. Favre casts such a large shadow, no one’s talking about the REAL goat of Sunday night’s game!
My close friend the Phanatic has come up with another amazing stat (applause here) - he never ceases to impress. But I had to call him today to see what the heck he was talking about with that “egomaniacal ankle and a trip to the Halloween store” line.
I laughed like hell when I heard it - it was, of course, Curt Schilling and the famous bloody sock.
God, how I miss Schill and his gloriously shameless self promotion.
There he was - big game, big moment, classic confrontation, with blood pouring through the stitches. NO other player in the history of the WORLD would have been questioned, but with Schill you’re like “you know, I bet the fat bastard put food coloring in his shoe.” I LOVE IT.
Pitchers and catchers - right around the corner!
January 26th, 2010 at
The Brewers are moving and Farve(spelled correctly) is one of the main investors.
January 26th, 2010 at
He just missed a great deal as the Rangers were for sale cheap. The investers who got them got a steal; 4th largest market in America, good young team with a coach who looks like he s coming into his own, good facilites, some good deals in the off season…yup, he shoulda bought the Rangers. Lot closer to Mississippi too.
January 26th, 2010 at
Is that snow you guys are sitting in? In New York? You have to do this on a regular basis.
January 26th, 2010 at
Just what we need, another friggin’ Matt. But gee, maybe this guy knows something. How refreshing!!
January 27th, 2010 at
Hey Guys
Great Interview, Good Info. Great Production Value. Nice Job with the Funky editting. I like it a lot….

I love you guys! Best sports show on the web! Keep up the good work.
January 27th, 2010 at
We love you all, too!
January 27th, 2010 at
The Mets are a terrible organization with little to look forward to for the Matts and Rick Cerrone to be so confident is laughable. This is very typical of Mut fans. Nite Nite
January 27th, 2010 at
When are the “Matt’s (3)” going to do a reality show at the Jersey Shore? Snooky wanted me to ask. Remember - she didn’t get any love last summer…….
January 27th, 2010 at
Knuckles: We love when you let your fingers do the talking!
j-off: You must meet our beloved Yankee Joe!
Slimbus45: We’ll need an escort - are you avail with your bus?
January 27th, 2010 at
Cerrone is like Phil Simms or Barry Melrose. Informed and authoritative. Good vid.
January 27th, 2010 at
Thank you, King!
January 27th, 2010 at
Damn computer has been acting up so I have been away. My question is when is Jeff Wilpon going to stop doing his Dan Sneider impression?
January 27th, 2010 at
I was impressed that both Gooden and Strawberry maintained their allegiance to the Mets. I mean, didn’t they both finish their careers with the Yankees? I guess they did start there and spend the most seasons with them, so that does seem reasonable. None the less, it still appears to be counterpoised to their recent induction into the Mets Hall of Fame. Proper timing is clutch..
January 28th, 2010 at
Enrique & Junior: Welcome! Jeff Wilpon does look a little like Snyder, now that you mention it… As for Gooden and Straw, nobody was exactly knocking down their doors…
