Our weekly recap of the most popular articles (and a few that deserved more love)….
On Memorial Day I mentioned that the 2009 Mets remind me of the 1987 Mets – as I type this sentence Wayne & Howie are telling me that John Maine has the stomach bug (him and Beltran. uh oh.) so now it reminds me of ’87 even more. Sometimes a team is just snakebit, and the 1987 Mets sure were.
We’ve had some healthy discussion about whether or not the Shea Stadium markers are misplaced. I’m not sure – wouldn’t shick me, yet I’m not sure I believe it. Fun topic though.
Definitely misplaced are the old pennant logo thingies. They used to be on the right field wall – now they are misplaced on 126th street. More pics here.
You may want to register for Subway Series tickets. Note that the Sunday game has been moved to a night game for ESPN. Thanks ESPN.
Speaking of tickets, the Mets and I have different ideas about what a Saturday is.
This Joe Torre guy is pretty good. Probably should have managed the ’08 Mets. June 1, 1977 Joe was hired by the Mets – two weeks later they traded Tom Seaver.
Meet the Mets was played Friday instead of Sweet Caroline. I don’t know what happened over the weekend.

I know you got a definition of “obstructed view” from the Mets that doesn’t jive with reality, so I’ll give you the link to the definition of “Saturday” to see if it matches how it’s defined in the “Saturday” plan.

In short, “Saturday is the day of the week between Friday and Sunday.” Hope that helps.
