What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Man, imagine if Steve hadn’t signed Soto to make Alex happy.
Meanwhile, Lindor takes another 0-for. Hopefully he goes 0 for 700.
Some of you are saying this is only Game 3. I say to you this is Year 40, AND Year 5 of Steve’s 5 Year Promise. No Excuses for the 3rd Place Mets.
I’m already bored with baseball again. I was enjoying “TV” and couldn’t be bothered to stop to watch the Mets, especially if social media is just going to tweet the entire game anyway.
I put it on a few times, but baseball is boring.
Mets win, Soto Homers, and Lindor takes another O-for…..sounds perfect!
The Mets are in second place here in Year 5 of Uncle Steve’s 5 Year Promise. No excuses!
The new road uniforms (the ones below) are clearly a step backward. I had seen something from someone named Howie who said they were better than what came before, and that is just absolutely insane.
This image from the Mets twitter account proves it.
Look at Pete in the middle. Howie can’t possibly think that’s a good looking uniform.
As for the baseball part? I had the game on while I did work “here in Houston” so I enjoyed not having to listen to the most overrated broadcaster of this generation work along side Keith and Ron.
I think you Clay Homes psychos saw what I was saying all spring – its one thing to face the Spring Training Travel Squad and another to face actual major leaguers.
The good news is Lindor went 0 for 4! His currently holds a WAR of -0.1
I have now watched as many regular season games as I did all last season!
The last place Mets are 0-1 in Year 5 of Uncle Steve’s 5 Year Promise. No Excuses.
Ten years ago I attended Opening Day for like the 30th out of 33 years, only occasionally missing because I had a new job and couldn’t get the day off. (The best OD of all time was April 5, 1983).
In 2016, after the World Series run, the Mets jacked prices because they had all their new World Series friends, so I stayed home. I have stayed home since.
A decade later, we find ourselves in a similar place. The third place Mets had their run thanks to expanded playoffs and Pete Alonso getting jammed and the ball going to the only place in the park it would have gone out. The Mets PR machine has sold everyone on Soto…to the point I think Keith Hernandez and I are the only people who realize this team has no pitching….so the Mets are telling us that season tickets (I am not using their new term) are sold out.
These are someone else’s Mets. Lee Mazzilli turned 70 the other day. There are the Lindor Mets, fans who are ok with a vulgarized LGM, a team back to wearing bad uniforms, and an owner really trying to build a casino on parkland. I find myself not interested in any of it.
I no longer have “cable.” Elon killed Twitter and with it the Twitter Hang.
The past two seasons I decided that it wasn’t worth spending all that time listening to Gary, so I stopped. I didn’t watch a game last season until Game 161.
I think I will “find a way” to see today’s game but its not like ten years ago when I was very much into the Mets.
From the start, this blog has been about the Mets reaping what the sow. Somewhere along the way, they moved on without me, and I have moved on without them. I hope for the Lindor Generation you get to enjoy things as much as I did from 1977 until the pandemic. Here in the 2020’s, I just don’t care any more.
My goal remains to keep blogging until the Mets win the World Series while nicely dressed. Unfortunately Steve & Alex have gone out of their way to make sure the team is not nicely dressed, so you have at least two more seasons of me.
Let’s Go Mets, but let’s do it with Lindor going 0 for 5 every day.
Alex and the other owner are really good at Bread and Circuses. Anyway, nice to see Kranepool honored this way. Also nice the Mets included “assets” in a presser. Thanks Mets!
Oh Mets, one more thing….why didn’t you use, you know, a Mets 7? These lack of attention to detail annoys me.
Here’s what a Mets 7 looks like, as seen on Ed Kranepool. I don’t know what the skinny thing the Mets pulled out of the graphics folder is.
NEW YORK METS TO HONOR ED KRANEPOOL WITH UNIFORM PATCH FOR 2025 SEASON
Members of the Kranepool family will be honored during Opening Day Ceremonies on Friday, April 4
FLUSHING, N.Y., March 26, 2025 – The New York Mets today announced that the team will wear a tribute uniform patch all season long to honor Mets Hall of Famer Ed Kranepool. Kranepool passed away on September 8, 2024, at age 79. The patch will feature Kranepool’s iconic number seven and will be worn on the sleeve of all Mets jerseys (photo attached).
Kranepool’s 17 family members will be honored pregame on Opening Day, April 4 vs. the Toronto Blue Jays. The Kranepool family will also be accompanied by close friend and former teammate, Art Shamsky.
“Of all the stats and records Ed accomplished throughout his career, the thing he was most proud of was that he spent his entire Major League career in a Mets uniform,” said Art Shamsky. “Ed would be touched that the team will be wearing his number seven on their uniform all year long.”
Kranepool played for the Mets from 1962-1979, spending his entire 18-year career with the Mets. He was a member of the 1969 Miracle Mets, a 1965 All-Star and the club’s all-time leader in games played. Kranepool remains in the Mets all-time top 10 in many statistical categories including plate appearances, hits, at-bats, total bases, doubles, RBI, walks an
