I jumped online at 9:59. Server is cycling through 60 second “server unavailable” messages.
If St. John’s sold out in 45 minutes the demans must be high on these and the April-May presale.
Don’t Keep It Gangsta
Mets Blog was talking about the possibility of a song called “Keepin It Gangsta” being used as a theme song for the ’09ers.
While I enjoy the whole gangsta thing and kinda hope Jerry stabs someone for not running out a grounder, one of my suggested New Traditions For A New Mets Stadium is that they take the field to Meet the Mets. Not some new cheesy version (like the 80’s remix that WFAN likes) – the real traditional one from the old old days.
People like nostalgia right – or does that only apply to obsessing over a baseball team that split town over 50 years ago?
(and bring back the Curly Shuffle!!!)

SULLY BASEBALL: Think Big! with the 1987 Mets
Wow I don’t even know what to say about this one. Sully Baseball sent me a link with a great post about 1987’s “Think Big” campaign that…
a) I apparently blocked out over either horror or post WS euphoria
b) proves the Strawberry Mets did do a lot of drugs
c) makes me wish I had a time machine because 1987 needs some Mets Police.
I can’t describe what you’re about to see unless you visit Sully…trust me it’s worth it…
SULLY BASEBALL: Think Big! with the 1987 Mets – the 1980s were a different time
…but here’s a teaser of what Sully wrote.
The actor playing the scientist I guess was told to over compensate for Mookie Wilson, Gary Carter and Roger McDowell’s lack of acting ability. Eddie Deezen would tell this guy to “Bring it back.”
– Why is there a computer on the on deck circle?
– That whole opening scene was a build up for an air guitar sequence? And why air guitaring with baseball bats?
– I bet they shot about 30 minutes of improvisation with dancing and air guitaring with baseball bats. That poor poor editor.

The Apple (Real One) In Its New Home
This morning I have a cool Mets blog for you from Dana Brand, one of the folks behind the upcoming 50th Anniversary of the Mets conference that they want to do an Hofstra (we hope the Mets Police are invited).
From there we got the cool picture of The Real Apple in its new home. It looks like they gave it a nice spot. I’m glad it made the trip. You can read all about the apple here.
If any idiots vandalize it I will personally arrest them.
Dana also ranked the Mets seasons according to fun – this was back in December – and correctly realizes that 1984 was way more fun than 2000.
