Mets will have 15 game plans in 2011

I popped over to Mets.com and I see I can make a non-refundable $100 deposit on a 40 game or a 15 game plan….

Maybe I stink at the internet but to my eye no specific dates are mentioned.

I selected 2 tickets. The only price tier offered is “best available.”

This seems bizarre to me. In theory I could be donating $100 to get Super Deluxe Premium $5000 Seats for the Tuesday Nights Against The Pirates plan. Why would anyone do this?

Also, please note that there are only 13 Saturday home games on the 2011 schedule….more on that tomorrow.

Is ‘Tom Seaver’ an acceptable Halloween costume?

Mrs. Mets Police thinks we are going as Smurfs…she has blue face paint.  Of course we don’t have white hats or white pants or anything….and I am supposed to wear red sweat pants which somehow makes me Papa Smurf……

I suspect people will think we are some sort of awful attempt at Avatar.

I’m thinking of aborting and going as 1983 Tom Seaver.   A Mets pullover jersey with Seaver 41, a blue cap with blue button, maybe my new Mets jacket…is that a costume?  Or is it what I wear on Saturday anyway?

Maybe I’ll carry around some wine and go as Old Timer’s Day Tom Seaver…oh wait there’s no such thing.

What are you guys going as?

Selig’s office paid for Bill Shannon’s funeral

Bob Raissman named Bud Selig as his dude of the week….

For paying for the funeral and burial of Bill Shannon, the veteran official scorer who died Tuesday in a fire in his West Caldwell, N.J. home

via NBC’s ‘Football Night In America’ talking heads offer a rare fresh take on the NFL.

God job by Bud and good job by Bob on having the story…maybe I stink at the internet but I haven’t seen that story anywhere else.

Dodgers forget they left town 50 years ago

The Dodgers are suing Brooklyn Burger over the logo.

Look Dodgers, if you care so much about the damn logo then move back.  Seriously, shut up.   It was the same nonsense with the Brooklyn Dodger bar.  It’s over.

I hope nobody tells them about the design of Citi Field…that could really ruin Fred’s day.

“Oh, f— them! What do they have to do with Brooklyn?” said Lindi, 41. “They left Brooklyn years ago. We dont let nobody push us around. Change our logo? Oh, fuhgeddaboudit. Tell them to come down here, well straighten it all out.”
