What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Hmmm….Gary Cohen just mentioned the uniforms and said the white were “almost pinstripes. the blue looks great!”
Keith Hernandez slyly added “my favorite color” before the inning ended quickly.
I love you guys…and Howie.
Charlie Samuels, are you listening?

“The Mets are wearing their snow whites tonight, with blue, hey how about that! That after they lost three in a row in those black jerseys.” He said black the way a three year old says yuck when you make him eat spinach.

From today’s mailbag: “Mailbag: Black Mets Uniforms“:
I couldn’t agree more–I HATE the black uniforms.
I’m also not too crazy about the snow whites either. And it’s not that I’m one of those jerks who doesn’t think anything new can be good, but the pinstripes are the Mets best uniform, no question. They also need to lose the black socks/sleeves and the 2-color batting helmet. Your team colors are blue and orange–wear them.

So I was looking at this on Loge 13 and it made me realize that the Mets Museum and Citi Field would be a lot cooler had they not auctioned off the below items.
Stuff that might look nice in the hallways
A Double Sided Gil Hodges Banner. $2500
1999 Team Celebration Banner $500
1969 Tickertape Parade Banner $2500
Ray Knight 1986 Winning Run Banner $3500
Grand Slam Single Banner $1500
Stengel Arguing Banner $2500
Stuff that was on the press level. Sounds like cool museum fodder to me
Various “Mounted Yearbook Covers” 1962-2002 (odd) $500 to $2500.
Various “Mounted” photos (Hernandez, Rusty 1973 World Series, Mookie Game 6, Koosman-Seaver-Matlack 1976, Casey Opening Day 1962, etc…). Hey you can get up to $3500 for those.
A photo of Seaver, Kiner & Koosman? Let’s sell it.
1986 NL East celebration. Get some bucks.
Willie Mays? Oh wait he was a rival to the Dodgers. Sell it.
Mike Piazza’s famous 2001 home run? Hey we could get $1500 for that!
I could go on and on…..look at the list I know this isn’t new information, and I don’t know what sold, what didn’t, or where any of it is, but it looks to me like they had the makings of a good museum and sold it all off.
I’m taking Mets Police Junior to his first Citi Field game tomorrow. I’ll easily be able to tell him about Jackie Robinson (and that’s a good thing) but how will I explain who Tom Seaver was? “He was really good?”

The very cool Mets Walkoffs blog sent this over.
With all the giveaweays, there’s nothing 1969 oriented. Go read their breakdown of the dates.
Let’s see 1969 + 40 equals….the 54th anniversary of the Dodgers winning the World Series!
So right about here I was going to post a sarcastic link to a news story from 1969 and I was going to write something like “did the Mets win something in 1969?”
Then I found this (below)….looks like some things never change! We were complaining back then!
| Championship Flag Stirs Fans, but Some Think It’s Too Small
$3.95 – New York Times – Apr 15, 1970
One of the least foreseen ceremonies of the 20th Century, the raising of a “world champions” flag by the New York Mets, took place at Shea Stadium yesterday … |
Maybe next year the Mets can hold “40 years of complaining night!”
