Fake Mets Yearbook 2007

Here’s a little something I made.

My goal is to capture the eternal optimism of the old promotional films, not to dump on the 2007 season – it just seemed a good place to start.

I’m a newbie at making this sort of thing, and it would be better with someone doing a Bob Murphy voiceover  – if anyone does a good Murph let me know!  Who knows, maybe some creative force out there can take this concept and run with it.

Weekly Mets Police podcast and recap

On the podcast we talked about Santana, the thought of moving a Reyes or Wright, Chris tells us about the Billy Joel concert screening, and we discussed the bomb Mushnick threw Piazza’s way. Punch “Mets Police” into iTunes if you’d like to subscribe.

Great crowd for Billy Joel’s Last Play at Shea screening

Chris was at the Last Play at Shea screening at Citi Field the other night and told us on the podcast that the crowd was quite large.

Here’s a video shot from the seats that will give you a scope of the amount of people that showed up at Citi.

And in an email MetsMom says:

It was great. The coolest thing was at the beginning of the movie, Billy Joel played the national anthem and everyone @ Citifield stood up and sang with him. They did a nice job interweaving Joel’s history with the history of the Mets and Shea. They showed Pete Flynn driving the Beatles thru Shea to the stage, and then driving Sir Paul to the stage to join Joel for the Last Play concert.   They did a nice job with the beginning of the Mets and Shea. Dana Brand was as eloquent as always about the early days of the Mets. Gary, Keith and Ron were great, but it felt like something was missing without Howie Rose. And I don’t care how many times I see it, there is nothing like watching the ball go thru Buckner’s legs – especially when you’re watching it on Citivision.
