Keidel: Meet The New Mets
If you told me in mid-April that the Mets would be the surprise story of the National League, over .500 with several players poised to play in the All-Star Game, I would have (justifiably) demanded a urine sample.

After covering years and years of the Subway Series, I can always tell when the encounter has some juice. Yankees fans gets more snarky about the Mets. They'll downplay the series as an unimportant break in their schedule. That's what I've been hearing this week.
Two wins would secure Subway Series bragging rights to the Bronx. But not so fast, Yankees fans. Despite Thursday afternoon's loss to Detroit, the Mets have been on a tear.
David Robertson wasn't expected to become the Yankees' setup man after the signing of Rafael Soriano, but now flourishes in the role. After injuries to Soriano and Joba Chamberlain, Robertson is having an All-Star caliber season after the adversity of the 2010 ALCS.
It was quite a quartet of games. After being routed by the Rangers in Texas to begin their interleague journey, and before being vanquished by Justin Verlander in Detroit to complete their trip, the Mets spent four days in offensive nirvana.
I have a few smaller free agent ideas for the Rangers, but the $50,000 question is: will the Rangers sign top free agent center Brad Richards?
The Mets host the Yankees this weekend at Citi Field as the two clubs meet for the second time this season, but this time around the Bombers will be without the player who has dominated this interleague rivalry -- Derek Jeter.
The memories of a thrilling NBA season that saw the Knicks finally back in the playoffs might have to last for a while. There's no telling when basketball will be back.
When Boomer got word that he had won this year's Pulse of the People Award, a ripple was sent through WFAN. Jerry felt it and when it came time to select his highly anticipated "Moment of the Day," he had really no other direction to go...
After winning the award for 3 straight years, this morning Craig Carton was forced to (reluctantly) congratulate his radio partner Boomer Esiason on being named the "2011 Pulse of the People Award" winner.
Bob Ojeda does a wonderful job on the SNY Mets pre- and post-game shows, working alongside Chris Carlin (which can't be easy) and taking care of the analyst duties.
After a caller suggested the Yankees would go on a home run hitting spree this weekend at Citi Field, Craig set the over-under at 5 for the total number of long balls the Bombers will accumulate in the 3-game series.
The clock finally struck 12 o'clock for the Mets. Their offensive explosion is over.
Before Jerry "Rello" Recco could even begin his first update of the morning, Craig went out a limb and predicted a Mets sweep this weekend over the Yankees. Mind you he did not "lock it up," but he did offer the bold prediction. Do with it what you wish.
It's a holiday weekend and Friday's edition of the Boomer & Carton Morning Extravaganza was all about the upcoming Subway Series at Citi Field.
