In his 30th season as a professional coach, former big league coach and minor league player, manager and instructor Rich Donnelly took the helm for the Cyclones in 2011, with longtime major league pitcher Frank Viola making his professional coaching debut as their Pitching Coach. The club was mostly an average, unassuming bunch throughout the year -- aside from a midsummer cameo by some guy on rehab duty named Jose Reyes -- but they really found their rhythm in the final weeks as they'd win 11 of their final 14 games to clinch the NYPL Wild Card -- narrowly missing out on the division crown. For the second consecutive year -- and their eighth in the last 11 -- the Cyclones were playoff-bound; however they'd ultimately lose their first round matchup against the hated rivals -- and eventual NYPL Champions -- from Staten Island. It should be pointed out that the Cyclones were 10-5 against the Yankees during the regular season in 2011

My goodness. You know for a guy that's always bragging about what an expert he is in the Mets minors you sure don't act like it. When will you post your own analysis of the Mets affiliates rather than constantly ripping off other site's hard work without even offering a word of thanks? This isn't blogging and the only time you do write something original it's usually to beg or complain. That is not blogging.
Wow
What "Matt" could this be?
Oh yeah, this is the guy I told a bad joke to (www.gofukyourslef.com) and he got offended.
I did apologize to you for that and I do again here.
As for posting this, it's something all bloggers do... it pays respect to the other site and makes someone link to their site for the information. That way, the other site gets extra "hits".
It's a good thing.
MetsBlog does it all day.
BTW... I post "The Keepers" every day and have had 6 reviews of minor league prospects (all original material) throughout 2011.
Come on, Matt. Lighten up.
Mack
