Hey we can’t tell you who is on the Mets or if these games will actually be played, but it’s never to early to give Steve Cohen an interest free loan so you don’t miss out on fireworks.

METS TO HOST THREE FIREWORKS NIGHTS IN 2022
MAY 28, JULY 2 & SEPTEMBER 2

Tickets Available Now at Mets.com/Tickets

FLUSHING, N.Y., February 2, 2022 – The New York Mets today announced three fireworks shows at Citi Field this summer. Fans who attend the Mets game on Saturday, May 28 vs. Philadelphia, Saturday, July 2 vs. Texas and Friday, September 2 vs. Washington will be treated to a unique post-game fireworks show. Tickets for all three of these games are available now at Mets.com/Tickets.

Each fireworks show has a theme and will be synced with music and visuals on the Citi Field video boards.

Fireworks on Saturday, May 28 are presented by Northwell Health and will honor Memorial Day Weekend along with those who have served through a New York theme.

The Saturday, July 2 fireworks will be patriotic-themed and are presented by GOYA.

The final fireworks show of the summer, Friday, September 2, presented by Toyota, will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Mets.

Could the Salt and Pepper return to Queens?  How many unsold shirts does Darren have in the warehouse?

Lyin’ Todd told MLB Radio (per NJ.com)

“I still think I can still play in the major leagues … I know they are getting a lot better and they’re getting stronger, pitchers and hitters, but I still think that as more of an older guy, I can bring a lot to a ballclub with wisdom and help the younger kids out. … I can help these younger kids get better. I’m not saying I’m going to help them be the next Mike Trout. .. But an example, like if a guy did something wrong, let’s talk about it so we don’t do it again. That kind of stuff. Or why did you put in that instance, per se.”

Todd batted .086 in 2021 in 13 games for the Pirates.

In 2020 he his .224 in 4 games with the Mets after hitting .241 in 31 games for Texas.  I mean why WOULDN’T you sign him?

 

I find Mike Piazza’s phrasing here interesting, especially because Mike and Jeff were not teammates.  Mike is using a tone of voice like he’s the Mets or he’s Mr. Met or something.  I am sure I will catch grief for this post, but I am (as always) just observing what I notice.

Everyone here at the @Mets is very sad at the passing of Jeff Innis, a great competitor, more importantly a good person. Heart felt condolences to his family. God Bless.#Mets

TODAY there are the NFL games to talk about. TODAY there is the Tom Brady retirement story.

Later in the week…it will be too early to obsess over the Super Bowl and there are no major sports this weekend. Does nobody at MLB have a sports calendar?

Or wait three weeks because guess what – there won’t be any actual baseball to talk about, and maybe this would give people something.

BTW – they really broke The Show in 2021. The game plays great, but I have been playing on and off since it came out and my pitcher is still stuck in the minors because of the way they tweaked the grind (TLDR is they wan’t you to play Diamond Dynasty (that’s card collecting to build All Star Teams) and I want to play Road To The Show (career mode)). You can say I suck at video games but on previous iterations I always got called up year one and then played multiple seasons. Why would you make the game NOT FUN.

One of my things about video games is I want FUN. If the difficulty is too hard, I lower it. I don’t need to prove myself to you, I just want to turn my brain off for two hours. The Show managed to make baseball NOT FUN which actually isn’t that hard now that I say it out loud.

Also, Mike Trout isn’t even the biggest star on his own team.  He’s third.

Sad to hear Jeff passed away.

It was good to hear that his fundraiser worked and he did make it home.  Keenan Innis had posted…

My dad has landed in Georgia!! He will then be transported to a local hospice where he will be comfortably surrounded by loved ones. We are so incredibly thankful for the support from friends, family, and fans who extended donations and kind words. Our family is overwhelmed with love and we are exceptionally happy to have him home!

Jeff passed away on Sunday, aged 59.
