Tim Byrdak is looking for a home...for his chicken. Byrdak bought a chicken before Friday's game against the Yankees after Frank Francisco called the team, "chickens."
Tony LaRussa told Fox Sports that he is definitely considering R.A. Dickey to start next months' All-Star game.
Johan Santana received a key to the city from Mayor Bloomberg on Friday for throwing the Mets first no-hitter.
The Mets announced the top Mets players in franchise history Thursday night, and it wasn't without drama. In response to Darryl Strawberry saying he would love to have a chance to hit off Tom Seaver, Seaver responded with, "You don't have any handcuffs on your hands, do you?" Whatever Seaver was trying to say there, it made for an awkward moment.
Here is the complete list of the top Mets:
Mike Piazza, C
Keith Hernandez, 1b
Edgardo Alfonzo, 2b
David Wright, 3b
Jose Reyes, SS
Cleon Jones, LF
Carlos Beltran, CF
Darryl Strawberry, RF
Tom Seaver, RHS
Jerry Koosman, LHS
Roger McDowell, RHR
Tug McGraw, LHR
Davey Johnson, Manager

After striking out a career-high 13 batters and beating the Orioles 5-0 on Monday, R.A. Dickey became the first major league player in 24 years to throw back-to-back no-hitters.
On the injury front...
Frank Francisco had to sit out of Friday night's game against the Yankees with stiffness in his left oblique.
Sandy Alderson told reporters he expects Ruben Tejada to return from the disabled list next week.

ICYMI: The Week In Review
After getting swept by the Yankees last weekend in the Bronx, the Mets moved on to St. Petersburg where they swept the Rays in a three-game series.
Chris Young recorded his first win with the Mets since his return. His last win as a Met? April 5, 2011.
Terry Collins and pitching coach Dan Warthen mixed things up in the bullpen earlier in the week. With the exception of Frank Francisco as closer and Tim Byrdak as the lefty specialist, all other bullpen roles have been done away with. Essentially, if you want to be the eighth inning setup man, you're going to have to earn it.
R.A. Dickey threw a one-hitter on Wednesday night. The Mets appealed to have that one-hitter changed to a no-hitter, arguing that David Wright should have been charged with an error after attempting to field a hit by B.J. Upton. They lost the appeal.
National League All-Star manager Tony LaRussa selected Terry Collins to join his staff for this year's All-Star game.
Ike Davis is starting to heat up at the plate. He has a seven game hitting streak and his average is now up to .192.
The Mets have signed 15 of this year's draft picks. For the complete list, visit ESPN.
On the injury front...
Jayson Bay was placed on the 7-Day disabled list with a concussion after crashing into the left field wall Friday night.
Justin Turner was activated from the disabled list following Bay's injury.
Ronny Cedeno, who has been on the disabled list since May 27 with a calf strain, is expected to return some time this week. In Triple-A Buffalo Saturday, Cedeno played all nine innings at shortstop and went 0-3.
The Mets are hopeful that Ruben Tejada will begin a rehab assignment on Monday. According to Terry Collins, Tejada ran in a straight line on Friday.

Mets Need To Make Room On The Roster For Hairston & Cedeno
After reaching a deal with Scott Hairston and Ronny Cedeno this past week, the Mets will need to make some cuts.
According to Adam Rubin, two players will need to be cut in order to make room on the 40-man roster. His list of possible candidates include:
RHP Armando RodriguezRHP D.J. CarrascoRHP Jeremy HefnerOF Fernando MartinezLHP Daniel HerreraRHP Chris SchwindenIF Josh SatinIF Justin Turner
In my opinion, the two who should get the boot are Fernando Martinez and D.J. Carrasco.
At this point, I consider Martinez to be a lost cause. During the summer when Martinez landed on the disabled list again, the NY Post pointed out that, "The outfielder, once considered one of the top prospects in baseball, has never played more than 90 games in any of his five professional seasons due to various injuries." Time to say goodbye.
Carrasco didn't impress me at all last season. He finished the 2011 season with a 6.02 ERA, and opponents were hitting .337 off him. Get rid of him and his ugly stirrups.
