Well now that we’re all back at work and surfing the internet at lunch, here’s some things you may have missed while getting drunk at LBI/The Hamptons.
Fake Mets Yearbook 2009 (video)
Someone named Lucas Duda is now on the team, and someone named Dillon Gee pitches every 5th day. The Curse of the Player’s Choice Jerseys took out Santana and Francoeur.
You also missed the Blogpocalypse. When I logged in Thursday EVERY post was gone. Then on Friday my laptop went kaboom.
Several hundred dollars later we’re back in business. Buy some football tickets off stubhub won’t ya?
Oh, and I want Wally. I’m not being wishy washy like you. Man up and decide who you want.
I’ve posted this on the other sites, and I’ll post it again here. Yes, Omar was on Jet Blue Flight 907 from JFK to O’Hare, but no, he was not heckled.
I saw Omar in the terminal before pre-boarding, and I approached him and we had a short, polite conversation, and I had my photo taken with him.
Later, as we began to board many of the Mets fans on the flight approached me to discuss my experience in meeting him. They asked me if I said anything about Frenchy or firing Manuel, etc. I know Omar talked to two (2) other Mets fans who approached him in the terminal, and he was polite as well.
Omar was one of the last to board the plane. He came on board and did not make any rucus nor did he boast who he was. He sat there by himself and he put on his headphones. After the flight landed (when the photo was taken on the Deadspin site), he got off the plane and was talking with three (3) other people with whom he was traveling.
Therefore, long story short is Omar was polite to the two Mets fans that approached him, and the Mets fans approached me to talk about my experience. No one heckeled him at all. The person from Deadspin had a blackberry camera and an idea for a funny story. Would have been great if it was true.
