A Mets Man Cave!
You don’t own this 2000 Mets NL Champions ring
Who will ever forget Piazza, Edgardo, Chuck Hensley and the rest…
This size 11, 10k gold scout’s ring weighs 35 grams. The top panel reads ”2000 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONS” surrounding a synthetic diamond-encrusted Mets’ interlocking “NY” logo atop a black onyx stone. Four smaller synthetic diamonds make up the perimeter of the top panel. This is an “A” ring except for the diamond. The left panel features the scout’s name, “HENSLEY, JR.” in relief above ”AMAZIN’ AGAIN” and a casted image of the New York city skyline, the “Mets” script logo and “SCOUT”. The right panel features the National League logo in relief along with four banners that read “2000”, “1986”, “1973” and “1969”, commemorating the team’s four NL Pennants. Below that is a casted image of two subway cars and “Subway Series” in relief. The inside of the ring is stamped “©JOSTENS 10K”. The ring is in NRMT condition.

2012 Alternate Mets Caps #1
Have I really made it to the end of June without dipping into Alternate Caps? Well let’s see what New Era has for us. This one…yuck.
MLB Fan Cave tries to lose most of its coolness by taking Mr. Met down with it
Oh sure, this video they let us embed.
Collins plays Ike with .622 OPS but Mets Murphy gets to rot on bench
I was fine with average, home run and RBIs. You went .300/30/100 and you were pretty damn good. Then everyone looked the other way when everyone had really good workout plans in 1998 and ruined the numbers. Then you video game kids ruined statistics the way you ruined pinball (the scores are way too high).
But, I can play your stupid “advanced stats” game. You’d have to be INSANE to play a first baseman with an OPS of .622 right? Or with whatever the hell an OPS+ of 73 is. Looks like the player in question is good for 11th in the league.
But hey let’s let him work things out. Keep grinding.
Meanwhile, my boy Murph had a bad month and went from starter to Burkhardt telling us last night that Murph was going to have to find some at bats at other positions? One guy gets half a summer to work it out and the other guy is buried? Murph may be slumping but his (stupid) “advanced” stats of OPS .659 and “whatever the hell OPS+ of 85 is” are better than you know who. At least Murph is 10th. Isn’t first base a positon you’re supposed to get some production from? Stick a fat guy over there who can hit and not do anything else? I don’t mind lettink Ike work things out but why isn’t Murphy afforded the same consideration?
