What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
We’ve kinda missed the Willie Watch since the Mets started winning games.
Willie showed up at Yankee Stadium today, where he belongs (being a former captain and all).
Lots more from Willie here.
In other news the Mets have added some more Irish-ness to their roster with Dan Murphy making his debut tonight. Hopefully he’s a Hall of Famer so they can sell some more green Mets hats.
Invite him to training camp.
Let him be the #3 QB and sit there and rot until he gives up and retires.
Let his streak snap Week 1 when he’s the #3 QB. Don’t even put him in for one snap.
That was easy wasn’t it?
With the exception of Phil Mushnick (of course) the mainstream media has more or less been giving The Giants a free pass on the PSL’s.
The Times finally got around to it today, with a great piece – although I feel like I write the same thing a month ago (“Open Letter To…” over there on the left side of the website).
Anyway, it’s good to have more people fighting the good fight.
For the record I don’t have Giants tickets, nor am I a fan. It’s just wrong.
Today the Times wrote about this ghuy:
He is 75, a former union lithographer, a gourmet cook by avocation, a passionate sports fan who is furious at the fan-gouging sports world in general and the Giants in particular, with good reason. He is one of the die-hards who got into Yankee Stadium 40 years ago, followed his team to the Yale Bowl and Shea Stadium and stayed in, for the last 32 in Giants Stadium, without complaint.
“There is nothing wrong with the place we’ve been playing in,†Palma said. “Why the heck did we have to move in the first place?â€
Amen brother. The entire piece is here: Times Writes About Giants PSL’s.
Prices May Send a Giants Fan to the ExitThe Giants’ decision to implement personal seat licenses in their new, $1.6 billion stadium will cost them the loyalty of long- time fans who refuse to pay more for tickets.
Was at the Springsteen concert last night and hanging out with a guy in a Dykstra Mets jersey.
You wanna make friends, buy a Dykstra jersey.
You don’t see many Dykstra jerseys now that you think about it.
Anyways, tons of people we walking up to this guy and telling him how cool it is.
It will not help you get chicks unfortunately.
Osh41 would take points off for it not being a jersey Lenny ever wore (black shading, no piping) – but it was not black and it had pinstripes. If only the Mets could do this in real life.
…
I really have nothing to say about the trade deadline other than the obligatory “Mets didn’t get anyone” post.
We will be seeing Joe Torre in October. Good for Joe and his new best friend Manny.
Maine injury not good.
There are still seats available on my Jon Niese fan club bus. Please hop on board now before it’s trendy.
We’re looking at big time “Four Inning Pedro” tonight. The Mets have him capped at 80 pitches. Somebody might want to start stretching out their arm now.
Bruce needs to come on before 9:30 but you can read about that here
