Lunatic Manager Hands Murphy The LF Job – And I Love It

Jerry isn’t messing around!

Daniel Murphy will be the Mets every day left fielder.

What’s that you say?  This guy was basically promoted from Double-A last year and the Mets have yet to play even an inning of spring training?   Jerry doesn’t care what you think.

“I’ve seen it. I’m confident. The way he swings the bat I’m confident that he can handle that. I don’t have a problem with that.”


Since Manny Ramirez isn’t coming, this is a good thing.  I’d rather hope we get 15 years out of Murph in left rather than one year out of someone from the leftover pile like Tatis.

I love what a maniac Jerry is.   He’s wonderfully entertaining.   I kind of want to see him actually stab someone for not running out a ball.

What does everyone think of these jerseys?  If the Mets insist on incorporating black (and that they do) these aren’t bad.   I’m not crazy about the orange underarms, but they aren’t as hideous as the all black were.

Rumorville: You Aren’t Getting Weekend Seats At New Yankee Stadium

Some chatter here: Yankees message board

Some folks are saying that they were downgraded from weekend plans to weekday plans.

Some are saying that instead of being offered cheap tickets they are being offered $100 tickets.  One of the challenges of the relocation process is that if you decline whatever they offer you (say $100 seats) you have to go back into “the pool” which I think means the end of the line.

The News got into this a bit on Friday:  here

I also highly suggest checking out New Stadium Insider for all things about C-Field and New New Yankee including more information about NYYS relocation.

It’s hard to kill the Yankees for selling season tickets but I do feel bad for folks who were downgraded.  I don’t think they were wrong to not buy 41 game packs.

Stubhub’s going to have a good year!

Mets Police Accidentally Advertise Human Growth Hormone – And Offend Selves

So I was reading my own blog tonight and I see an ad for Human Growth Hormone!

Google is selling steroids on my blog!  Yes I allow advertising on my site and some of the ads come from Google – but HGH?!!!    I’ve noticed that the ads are selected based upon what we’ve been writing about – so I blame A-Rod!    I’m offended at myself!  As soon as I figure out how to get them off I will, in the meantime I will just try to shame Google Adsense.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day With A Green Gooden Jersey

St. Patrick’s Day is coming and if you’re on the mailing list from mlb.com you were invited to get your Paddy’s Day Mets-wear.  Now I’m not going to be phony – I like shamrocks, I even enjoy my green Mets hat from time to time (Mets Police rule is that the Mets can sell whatever they want just don’t wear them during games.)

One item that may interest you is the green Gooden jersey.  How better to relive 1985 than with this.  Who screams Kiss me I’m Irish more than good ol’ Doc.  Plus who can ever forget him wearing the traditional Mets green.  At only $240 it’s quite the steal!
