The Yankees usually dominate the Mets on the field. But yesterday, in the battle of the big-time press conferences introducing Carlos Beltran and Randy Johnson, the Mets won, 4-3: INTRODUCTIONS Mets PR director Jay Horowitz got a few laughs when he introduced his boss (a President Bush pal), deadpanning, "Just back from the White House is the general manager of the Mets, Omar Minaya." His Yankees counterpart, Rick Cerrone, attempted a joke about the snowy weather in the Bronx, but only the Yankee Stadium ghosts giggled at that one. EDGE: Mets. FOOD It was a hearty meal at Shea Stadium, with chicken parm, shrimp in a cream sauce, pepper steak, cold cuts and three trays of cookies. The Yankees had just two trays of cookies, but a carving station classy! with prime rib, mini egg rolls, chicken fingers, fresh veggies and the ever-popular jumbo shrimp cocktail. Yummy. EDGE: Yankees. YOU LEFT A FEW DETAILS OUT JUSTIN! GALLERY About a half-dozen Mets fans gathered outside the press gate at Shea, hoping for an autograph. "We haven't seen (Beltran) yet," one grumbled. More than four times that many were waiting for the Big Unit in the Bronx, and when he arrived in a silver SUV, he gave them a thumbs up as he walked inside. On the way out, Johnson rehabbing his image signed autographs. EDGE: Yankees. PRESENTATION The Yankees were forced to use their cramped stadium club, and many of the grumpy writers had an obstructed view. The Mets used their Diamond Grille, a roomier space, and kept things flowing. EDGE: Mets. BEST LINE Johnson set the Yankees fans at ease when he said, "I might be 41, but I'm a young 41." But Mets fans had to love this one from Beltran: "I call it the new Mets because this organization is going in a different direction, the right direction, the direction of winning." EDGE: Mets. TURNOUT We let both teams give their own estimates. The Mets said about 250 media representatives attended their press conference, while the Yankees estimated 300. It was difficult to count, but the Yankees, with a ridiculously high payroll, are good at big numbers, so we'll take their word. EDGE: Yankees. WIFE Beltran's wife, Jessica, sat patiently in the front row and answered questions, gushing about the chance to live in New York. "The only road trip I've never missed is the New York trip," she said. Lisa Johnson attended the press conference but when the Yankees asked if she would speak to reporters, she declined and left the room. EDGE: Mets. STEVE POLITI, THE STAR-LEDGER |

Chicken Fingers are kids meals at the fast food junk places you can afford to go to, but they are served at classy restaruants. Just because something is a kids meal at McDonalds doesn't mean it's "sh*t food". This is real chicken, not the "chicken" they serve at McDonalds and BK! |

I think the Mets selection sounds a little more appetizing. Chicken Parm, shrimp in cream, pepper steak, and a nice bologna and chesse sandwhich sound awsome! |
