Heading to Port. St Lucie with a Braves fan

Woo-hoo – since all my Mets friends have become old/married/poor/lame I had to get creative and I convinced my friend The Braves Fan (TBF for now on) to go with me.

I’ll be the fat guy in the stands on February 26th…and then TBF and I are heading to Orlando to watch the Mets* play the Braves on Sunday.

* = it is a split squad game so I know that “The Mets” will be dudes in Mets uniforms but it’s better than nothing.

I hope TBF has a real camera.  I may have to borrow some real technology from The Media Goon.

If you are heading to Spring Opening Day let me know, maybe we can share some stories over a beer.

Still no word from Olbermann.  Come on Keith.

Why Keith Olbermann should take the Mets Police blogger job

The Times tells us:

The executives involved in the discussions confirmed that the deal carries limitations for Mr. Olbermann in terms of when he can next work on television, though he will be able to take a job in radio or on any forum on the Internet.

Keith,

Remember Conan O’Brien?

He was able to change the story line and keep the media guessing.

Join us.  Write the occassional guest post about Lee Mazzilli.  I know you have Baseball Nerd which I love…but imagine how everyone will react if you pop up over here.

“Keith Olbermann posts at his usual baseball bog” = no buzz.

“Keith Olbermann takes up silly offer” is a winner.

It will be fun and keep everyone guessing.  Yes it’s crazy, that’s why it’s awesome.  DM me on twitter.  So what do you think of Sandy Alderson?

Hideous Jesse Orosco Tides jersey

Charles saw this on ebay. I don’t think I need to comment.

….

Did you guys enjoy the all-Media Goon format the last few days?  He rocked it out!   Do you like the videos?  Do you like players stuff?  Would you rather I just write about Joel Youngblood?  My instinct is that the mix is what works.

There’s lots of stuff in the hopper.  I’m going to go do Actual Exercise and then chip away at my inbox.

I think I went the entire week without mentioning a certain ex-CFer and didn’t really comment on dark uniform colors (although I did notice and comment on the week of pinstripes.)

Another amazing Japanese Mets WTF moment

I don’t even know how to set this up.  You guys look, read, stare, and I’m off to Unnamed Donuts Chain for some calories and caffeine.

SONG OF BASEBALL ENTHUSIASTS
25 x 52′
1977
The first female professional baseball player who strikes out sluggers with her magical pitch…The manager who makes every effort to amend the Baseball Regulations so that she can join the pros…The separated twin brothers who couldn’t have met each other if they weren’t both totally absorbed in baseball…This series describes the joys and distress, the glory and frustration of those who enthusiastically love baseball.

Um, wow. So there’s more about THAT here, but what I secretly hope is that Randy from The Apple willstart a Manga series.   The pitcher who can’t be trusted to get an out.  The second baseman who can’t put away the third out.   This series describes the joys and distress, the glory and frustration of those who enthusiastically love baseball as the team comes together to Man Up and Play Better!

In case you are wondering: I like the caps, hate the jersey font.  No word from Keith Olbermann yet on our offer.
