What idiot in Queens thinks this is a good idea, and which owner signed off on it?

The Queens Crew?  Seriously?  That sounds like a knockoff group of people that like to wear matching t-shirts?  Do the Mets think it’s still 1986 (well, yeah I guess they do.)

Is this to draw new fans to the game.   Is this for people who like baseball but wish there were more choreographed hip-hop performances?

Steve, listen to me.  You get everything wrong.

Take down all the video boards and put ip an old timey scoreboard.  Hire someone to play organ.   Give a great baseball product for people who like baseball.  Let me know if you wanna take a ride to Fenway or Wrigley, I’ll drive, and I can show you some stuff.

Nobody wants this Steve.

Paul Lukas on Uni Watch explains that MLB and Nike now have standard number fonts.   The net result (to me)….(and thanks to Lauren for pointing it out) – the numbers look like the garbage you’d find on Chinese knockoffs.

Compare that skinny 12 to how it used to look.  Clearly the below is better.

Paul also discussed the way the team names split across the buttons.  Looks like we’re returning to the ugly long tail M.

 

Anyway, baseball is dying no matter how much The Baseball Mafia says otherwise.  Nobody cares.  Whatever you wanna wear is fine.

Item #1:  MLB could market anyone else (well except for Baez and Wander Franco, for very different reasons each) but they choose to market the guy who let his own fanbase they could rot.

Item #2:  Then there’s this, from the team that keeps release new black uniform components.  Which is it guys?  If blue and orange is the thing, then why do you have new black caps and a black Citi Connect Jersey to come?

And while we are here, today I find myself thinking of Hall of Famer Mike Piazza.  If you know why, you know why.

 

Shouldn’t Harrison have spent the night meeting with Carlos Mendoza and going over the team’s approach to winning?  Aren’t there game films to be watched?  Did he even get his exercise in?

Also is he really a NYC Celebrity?

If Matt Harvey did this you guys would be mad at him,

Some people are observing that Bader and Alonso were college teammates.  They then make the leap that Pete will stay in NY to play with Bader.  Those people may be crazy.

 

Huge move by Former Wilpons Intern David Stearns bringing in Harrison Bader!

I don’t have to tell most of you who Harrison Bader is, but for the one or two new fans to baseball, he batted .232 with 7HRS – and for you millennials, an OPS of .622 – last season with the Yankees and Reds.

Bader will reportedly earn $10,500,000 which isn’t bad for a WAR of 0.6

Welcome Harrison, and keep up the great job this off-season David!
