I'm already thinking about getting this. I'm not sure why, as I really have been a huge slacker at following the Mets the last few years. For some reason though, I've caught the baseball bug this year.
There's a free version of the application, but the $10 full version is of course much more impressive. Here's a few of the details from the MLB site:
Exclusive pitch type, location, and speed data make At Bat 2009 the fastest, most detailed way to follow baseball on your iPhone and iPod touch.
Listen LIVE to every regular season and Postseason game with your choice of home or visiting team announcers and no blackout restrictions.
Watch the best plays of the game moments after they happen. The app will detect your connection speed to deliver the optimal quality video.
The application also includes the complete Postseason and World Series plus offseason video coverage, Pitch-by-Pitch, box scores, game summaries, schedules, video highlights, and more.
You can check it out at the MLB site HERE, or just buy it from iTunes if you have an iPhone 3G, the original iPhone, or an iPod touch.

TuneUp is a program that looks through your iTunes library, and adds in all the correct track info for each song. The program works with Gracenote’s music catalog to analyze the audio of each of song and then update iTunes with the correct data. That alone might be worth getting it if you have a lot of tracks named incorrectly, but it will also update the album art. Which would be nice for the number of songs I have which only shows up as white notes on a black background when I'm flipping through music on my iPhone. It will also remind you of upcoming concerts based on your music.
You can download a trial version of the program, and it will clean up 100 songs and update 50 album covers. The pay verasion is unlimited, and costs $20 for a year subscription, and $30 for a "forever" subscription.
You can check out the TuneUp HERE.

Summer is coming up fast, and cold drinks will soon be the life of the party. The Margarator will probably be a pretty safe purchase for those parties.
The Margarator is basically a blender designed to make and dispense margaritas. From the company:
The MSB-585 Margarator is the consummate bartender, quietly dispensing up to a gallon's worth of margaritas at all your parties. Just fill the Margarator with a mix of ice, margarita mix, and tequila. Shut the safety lid and operate the switch. Within minutes you will have delicious, invigorating margaritas made to perfection, easily dispensed via the serving spout mounted on the front of the Margarator.
It's currently out of stock over at Bar Ware, but you can check on it HERE.

Just another one of the many reasons I need money.
Bernard Madoff, the man behind the recent $64.8 billion Ponzi scheme had Mets season tickets, located just behind home plate. Since he's obviously not going to be using them, they're likely to be sold by the trustee for Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC.
"We have no intention of not monetizing them and letting them go unused," trustee Irving H. Picard said Saturday in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "When we have something to announce, we will do so."
Mets executive vice president David Howard said the seats were paid for and were in either the first or second row behind home plate, a section known as Delta Club Platinum. They list for $695 each for opening day on April 13 and June interleague games against the New York Yankees, all classified as platinum by the Mets.
They cost $595 for gold games, $495 for silver games, $395 for bronze games and $295 for value games. Overall, the season ticket comes to $40,095 per seat, an average of $495.
