The WSJ caught up with V in Connecticut
It was going hard on 2 p.m. when he picked up his office phone and dialed.
“Chief? Bobby V. What do you know?”
If that doesn’t make you want to read the rest of this WSJ article I don’t know what will.
Mets St. Patrick’s Day Stuff is in stock
It’s that time of year again. MLB has released the annual Green Wear, which means lots of Alternate Caps posts for me.
Today I will just leave you with wisdom. I have done extensive research, and you cannot and will not pick up girls in a green Mets cap. It cannot be done. If that’s your goal, take a pass on this.
Video of Mets Bowling Night
There’s a spring-training blogger arms-race happening, and that’s good for you and me.
On one side we have Cerrone/Baron who are crushing it at MetsBlog as always, but Adam Rubin has stepped up his game at ESPN New York…
Speaking of video, I just finished How I Met The Mets: Buddy (Harrelson) and it came out great. It’s the best one yet, and really a lot closer to what I envision the series being. That one will go up on the site next week, I gave you two new ones earlier.
How I Met The Mercury Mets (and the 1987 Mets)
Two episodes of How I Met the Mets for you this week.
The first is a debut of “1987”. This one is a traditional episode – and I think this episode has come out the best so far. A look back at a season that just wasn’t meant to be.
Before we get to the second one, let me warm up the newbies with some of the better minisodes from the series.
A look back at the last game at Shea:
A look back at the Subway Series:
These are “proof of concept” videos for something I’d like to see worked into a real series on SNY. Kinda like Mets Yearbook, but from the vantage point of a fan. I also think for the series to work it needs to be real and embrace the heartbreak that goes into being a Mets fan. Unlike uptown, not everyone gets their number retired, not every season ends in a pennant, and sometimes the Mets even lose a game. Imagine these with real assets, better editing, Howie Rose doing the voiceover, and player interviews interspersed.
Now that you’ve bought in – here’s some weirdness for you.
I watched Total Recall on Saturday night (great film, no need to remake it), and when I went out Sunday to do Actual Athletics my mind starting wondering…mix in a long weekend, some extra free-time and I thought I’d have some fun with my own concept…this one is so bizarre I was afraid to post it on its own.
Interestingly there are about 4 pictures of the Mercury Mets on the entire internet, and I used them all in this video.
If you dig these (OK maybe not the last one) and would like to see something like this during rain delays then click like and share and embed them around the internet. If you like when Bob Ojeda says things like “we’ll be back after Beer Money” then don’t.
Fun with Metsopoly part 1
The Mets version of Monopoly will provide a barrel of riches this week. The jokes write themselves.
