Thanks to Metsblog who picked up the Valentine theory I have…you can read Matt Cerrone’s take here along with a fair amount of comments.

Thomas from Checked Swing suggests that the Mets give everyone with an obstructed view one of these.


The ‘ropolitans have some cool “The Disabled” (a “The Departed” parody t-shirts.


My spidey sense thinks the first Mets no-hitter will happen very soon…it also thinks it will happen on one of these late night who cares games, although a Parnell no-hitter would be quite surprising.

Check out the bizarre “Razor Shines Coach of Life” thing.  You can ask him yes or no questions.  I asked “Do the Mets suck?” and got some nonsense about fastballs.   So I asked Magic 8-ball which was definitive.


















I feel bad for both the Mets and this guy:


kjs has left a new comment on your post “How To Solve Many Of The Obstructed Views At Citi …“:

The Mets never recontacted me about making financial amends for the awful, fecal-like–stained seats I bought in Section 504, row 1, seat 1, published earlier this week on this blog. When they ask me to renew my two plans for 2010 in the fall(which are fairly decent seats in 512 and 504, despite the fact they are only a row or two from the top), I’m just ripping up the invoices. They’ve lost me as a consumer (and I use the word “consumer” because there’s no indication they see the people who go to Wilpon’s Folly as fans). Adois, Metsies.

Some baseball jersey spotting around Citi Field.

Nice.

Very nice.    This was a good looking jersey (the 17).

I like the idea, but I hate jerseys with weird fonts.

A black Franco #45 with a bad font.   So many bad decisions rolled into one.

If you are going to go “swoosh” at least get a Mets underline jersey, not a bogus font underline short with orange underarms and a Citi Field logo on the sleeve.

If you like this sort of thing check out this site and be sure to check out the horrrendous Bernard Gilkey jersey in the August 4th entry.

Tomorrow I will have awful caps for you.

Something a little different for a Saturday as fall soccer gears up.

I’ve coached teams for years, usually baseball.   My least favorite part of coaching has always been the phone calls to arrange practice, change the schedule or my least favorite the Saturday morning “are we playing today?” phone call once two raindrops fall.  There’s also options for everyone to check off if they are coming or not (I remember stressing every week if the one good catcher could make it).

So this site will let you post the schedule and team messages for free.  There are premium options but even that is $7 a month (so say the bar softball team – just bang everyone on the team an extra buck).  The site looks nice and they don’t charge you in the offseason.

Anyway I dug it, check it out if you think it sounds cool:
TeamSnap – The simplest, easiest way to manage your team or group online.

If only I could convince everyone to pay for fantasy football on time that would be a bonus, but at least scheduling is gonna be easier this time around.
