Mets Sunday Morning Laziness: Keith went too dark, the Mets uniforms suck, mustaches, and some hockey talk

Good morning.  The Mets Morning Laziness is here to let you know what’s happening in Metstropolis in a post-Rubin world.

I watched the first inning of the game yesterday.  Keith went too dark with the Just For Men.  Needs some professional tinkering.

The spring jerseys look terrible.  So much clutter.  The big giant FL patch is bad.  The white lettering looks terrible on the back, it looks like a homemade knockoff jersey.  The caps with the FL look dumb too. Why is MLB marketing this FL nonsense?   All around bad look.

David Wright wore a “legal” t-shirt.  I figured Dave would sneak in an orange undershirt but he had on a grey one.  I do need to refresh my rulebook knowledge and read the 2017 rules and CBA.  Maybe today.  (If you’re new, all players must wear a matching undershirt, and David had violated this in the past although not at all in 2016.)

The TV guys laid a lot of groundwork for Wright not being ready for Opening Day.  On the telecast GKR who know a lot more about baseball than I do suggested it would be hard to imagine DW being easy for Opening Day.  Search your feelings you know it to be true.

Heard Howie float a Murphy’s Legs Thing I’d Never Heard.  Howie talked about the Mets not re-signing Murph and mentioned that there was a concern that his legs wouldn’t hold up long term.  Howie also knows more about baseball than I do but I’d never ever heard that.  I thought it was because he can’t field, runs bases poorly and that Dilson Herrera is going to play second.  Not sure where this theory came from.

The levels on the MLB App still suck.   Nobody is ever going to fix this are they.  If you’re with WOR, it’s all the imaging comes on too loud.  I even heard a promo for Todd and Len, and the music was drowning out Len to the point you couldn’t hear him.  Maybe somebody at iHeart could listen to one inning every three years and you guys should be catching this crap in a second.  Completely unacceptable year after year.  And METS we both know you read the blog – can’t one of you send a note to WOR asking them what the cranky blogger is harping on, and ask them to listen.   This is several years now, it’s not that hard to fix.

Lucas Duda’s back acting up.  As I have said for two years now, if anyone ever offers you $30,000,000 take it.

Just saw a tweet from a MSM source that says Mets Insider: Wright gets standing ovation….  You’re really gonna need more than that to be an Insider.  I can do that level reporting from a phone while coaching soccer.

The Mets SPs have mustaches.


 

Hockey Section

I hit the Devils game with some of the Elite Bloggers and T-Shirt Moguls.  The Devils have taken all the fun out of their building, as they continue to attempt to stop fans from doing the You Suck chant after goals.  Even when a particularly drunk fan got an Organic Fan Chant to the old Rock & Roll started, the Devils blared music and killed it off.

I also miss the Kill (the penalty) guys.  The particularly dunk fan tells me that they left after zuzuvellas were banned from the arena.

So now we just listen to AC/DC 5 times a game and can’t celebrate the goals.  For $100 a ticket.  No thanks.

Meanwhile, on today’s Uni Watch, @philhecken and I discuss The Fisherman Jersey at length….and I defend the fisherman.

 

And that’s your morning laziness.  Time to head to the bagel store and go about your day.
