“The Mets have been committed to providing a best-in-class experience for all fans at Citi Field,” said Horwitz. “By bringing the Silver Sluggers Club to the ballpark, Citi Field goes beyond a place for Mets fans to watch a game and becomes a social space for people to gather and form a community.”

Jose Quintana will be the Opening Day Starter as Mets prepare for a Who Cares 2024

Jose Quintana, coming off a 3 and 6 2023 will be the Mets Opening Day starter.

Somewhere along the way Uncle Steve decided that instead of being George Steinbrenner that he wanted to be the Milwaukee Brewers.

This season is gearing up to be a majorly who cares season.  I don’t even get SNY on YoutubeTV now, and it doesn’t matter.

Steve is in for an ugly summer once the masses catch on to the secret rebuild.

 

Mets’ great Darryl Strawberry has had a heart attack

Per Darryl Stawberry’s social media..

“Praising God for His amazing grace and loving mercy in saving my life this evening from a heart attack. I am so happy and honored to report that all is well,” he wrote.

“So thankful for the medical team and staff at St. Joseph West in Lake St. Louis for responding so quickly and bringing me through a stent-procedure that has brought my heart to total restoration!!! Your prayers are so absolutely appreciated as I continue to recover, in Jesus Name!”

Mets owners “Steve and Alex Cohen” – note that the ownership is almost always phrased that way these days, so whatever praise or criticism you have for the Mets, Alex is now also on the clock – shared this statement.

We wish the two-time Yankees world champion (and one time Mets champion) a speedy recovery.

Let’s review the Syracuse Mets jersey giveaways, Part Two

This part two of a two pare series. You can find part one here.

I guess a kid could wear this, but other than that I don’t see any scenario in which anyone would ever wear this.  Terrible.  At least no sponsor clutter and I do sort of like the stylizing on Mets.

I didn’t know what this was about until I googled. The Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy, also known as Haudenosaunee, meaning “people of the longhouse,” referring to their domicile structures, played a key role in shaping the United States government.  This is OK I guess, and the sponsor logo isn’t that awful.

Some throwback action here. Nice enough.  Point off for the sponsor logo.

Teams almost never get Irish night correct and this  one didn’t either.  The shamrock is too much, we don’t need the words Syracuse AND Mets on it, and the stripes just aren’t working for me.   Bonus point for no sponsor logo.

Let’s review the Syracuse Mets jersey giveaways, Part One

The Syracuse Mets have a bunch of jersey giveaway days.  These are all better than what the Major Leaguers are wearing, but let’s take a closer look.

 

This next one tried too hard.  The New York silhouette ruins it, as does the sponsprname on the back.  Pass.

I’m guessing someone clears this with the Buffett estate, otherwise the phone is going to ring.  Jimmy was very protective over use of the M word.  This is my favorite design, and the business of it hides the sponsor.  I will bet a dollar this becomes “Beach Shirt” night or something.

When the Mud Hens did theirs, note the obvious tie in with official Margaritavlle, so see what I am saying?

.   

This jersey has the same issue. The NY doesn’t work.  And double sponsor on the back. Yuck.  This jersey was over-engineered.

I did this on.  Fun.  Point off for sponsor placement.

This one is fine.  Point off for sponsor name placement.

More Tomorrow, unless Steve signs some free agents, which means More Tomorrow!
