Commissioner Bud Selig will join Mets owner Fred Wilpon and New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg at New York's City Hall to make a major announcement Wednesday, expected to be that the Mets and Citi Field will host the 2013 MLB All-Star Game.

Numerous news organizations have reported the announcement is to unveil Citi Field as the site of the 2013 event, but MLB and Mets officials have declined comment beyond asking that media representatives wait for Wednesday's 11:30 a.m. ET news conference.

If that indeed is the case, 2013 will mark the first time the Mets have hosted the Midsummer Classic since 1964, ending the longest drought for current franchises. The second-longest is set to end this summer with Kansas City hosting the All-Star Game for the first time since '73.

"It will be a tremendous stage for a Midsummer Classic," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "It will be held in one of the nicest ballparks in the country."

Between the Mets and Yankees, the city of New York has hosted eight All-Star games in total, more than any other Major League city. Chicago is second on that list with seven. The Yankees hosted the 2008 All-Star Game in the last season played at old Yankee Stadium.

"It's great for the city," Mets third baseman David Wright said. "I got a chance to participate in the one that closed out Yankee Stadium. What a tremendous stage for an All-Star Game. I think it's deservedly so, and we'll get a chance for the world to see the stadium, see the new place. We'll kind of show it off a little bit."

Possible FIRST SELL-OUT?!?...

The bullpen strikes again and gives up 4 runs in the 8th as the Mets lose 6-3 to the Reds.

A win is a win......

Mets get the a$$ whooped by the Blue Jays, 14-5.

kelmac07 · 05-19-2012, 04:03 PM

As the slide continues...Mets shutout by the Blue Jays today, 2-0. And we're in the cellar.

kelmac07 · 05-20-2012, 09:46 AM

Phillies lose so we area 1/2 game out of the cellar...at least for one more day.

kelmac07 · 05-20-2012, 03:38 PM

Mets hang on to salvage a win in the series and beat the Blue Jays this afternoon, 6-5.

Dave128 · 05-21-2012, 09:22 AM

3.5 games out after a crap weekend of baseball isn't all that bad.

mase · 05-21-2012, 08:55 PM

Terrific outfield communication. Just watched the third error of the night. Glad I just got tickets for June 1 and June 4.

kelmac07 · 05-22-2012, 06:05 AM

Mets blow a 4-0 lead and lose 5-4 to the Pirates. Phillies lost as well, so we manage to stay out of the cellar for one more night.

Can't believe Ken didn't pop in here yet, sorry Mac.

I'm sure he'll be in here in no time to bust my balls.

Pirates only win about a dozen games a year, I think he should take advantage of this one

kelmac07 · 05-23-2012, 02:01 PM

Mets beat the Pirates this afternoon, 3-1. Neise looked really good...going 7 2/3 strong innings.

Dave128 · 05-23-2012, 02:26 PM

Nice win for the Good Guys. Neise pitched a decent game. Not really sure why he was pulled. He should have finished the inning.

kelmac07 · 05-24-2012, 10:14 PM

Mets getting pounded by the Padres...come on man!! Good news is the Marlins lost and the Braves as well.
