Might As Well Go For It

Spent a lot of time talking Mets with the fellas today and…

The Mets should just go for it

There’s nothing to trade.

You shouldn’t move OverReyes because he’s inexpensive, you shouldn’t move Maine, and if you move Wright you might as well move the team so the Marlins can move to Citi Field.

Beltran is probably the only piece you could get something for – but it’s hard enough to find three bodies to stand out there every night as it is – and ‘Coco Crisp and prospects’ doesn’t sound exciting.

There’s next to nothing to rebuild with. Next year some dead weight like Four Inning Pedro comes off the payroll so you’re looking at a free agent rebuild, which never works in Flushing.

Might as well go for it with Santana and Maine, pray for rain and hope the Phillies pull a Willie in September.

Empire State Building Conspiracy Against Mets

“The Empire State Building will celebrate the Yankees’ Subway Series win this Monday, June 30, 2008 by shining its world famous tower lights in Yankees blue and white. The Empire State Building split its tower lights this past weekend, with the building’s north/south sides lit in Yankees blue and white, while its east/west sides were lit in Mets blue and orange. With the Yankees winning this weekend’s Subway Series, Yankees colors will be displayed on all four sides of the tower on Monday.”
 
Thanks to Daily News for the heads up:

Uni Watch On Blue Uniforms

I hate doing this because it’s an absolute lift from uniwatch, but I could never say it better.   Total props to uni watch, and please go visit uni watch.
 
 
Lots of stained sheets at Mets fans’ homes on Friday, as the Amazin’s wore blue caps, sleeves, and socks on the road for the first time in a decade, and holy shit did it look awesome. Equipment manager Charlie Samuels (aka “The guy who’s to blame for the few remaining things in this world that aren’t George Bush’s fault”) decided to trot out the blue gear to commemorate the team’s final appearance at Yankee Stadium. But here’s the thing: If you’re going to look good for a special occasion, why not look good for every occasion? Blue Mets = true Mets!
 
Again that’s http://www.uniwatchblog.com/.  Sorry for the borrow, but this uniform thing is important!

We’re #2!

I still heart Jerry. The man says what's on his mind and doesn't think about 'the media' at all. It's so refreshing.

So Jerry announces that the Mets are the #2 team around these parts.

Whew. That wasn't so bad was it. I feel like we've come out of the sports closet.

The Red Sox changed their mentality to stop worrying about last century. The Yankees won that one, and there's nothing you can do about it. So far things are looking up in Boston.

In Flushing, the Mets have won as many 21st century championships as the NYY's. Zero. Sure they have a few pennants but they have won squiddly since the new century dawned.

However, the Mets will always be the #2 team. They would ned to run off 24 championships to catch-up by 2033.

They have never had a hall of famer play and stay for an entire career.

The Mets are Calvin Schiraldi away from being as cursed as Boston was. They wear dopey uniform combinations (like hybrid hats with home pinstripes) and you can't take them seriously.

There's a lot to be admired in the Bronx. Accept it and move on.

…

Jerry also should send letters to the Jets, Islanders and Nets. The Devils have won multiple cups and have arguably the best goalie ever and still nobody cares.

I didn't realize the Mets were allowed to play the Cardinals. I thought they only played teams in the pacific time zone. Do they get to play the Cubs? Oops I looked at the schedule – Giants (formerly of New York, Fred) and the Mets endless rival the Rockies. What's with all the Rockies this year.
