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.
