What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
I just got the call from the bullpen for an emergency start from Agent Shark. Poor guy must have a case of malaria or something from all his top secret traveling if I am getting a spot start like this.
Anyway been saving this one for a while, Mets Mini Home Plate signed by RA Dickey.
AAAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDDDD welcome to the M-files where the M stands for Media Goon (at least for this week). So Mr. Shark is doing his James Bond thing and I am in charge of the site, so why not take the time to do my own version of the M-Files.
The Walking Dead. I know Shannon has covered the game and the TV Show. I want to talk to about the comics and the novels. The comic is where the idea from the tv show came from. It is awesome. I love the show but the comics blow it away. The death and violence that had happened in the comics come so far out of left field that it just leaves you numb/stunned.
The novels, I understand is a way to make some more money off the franchise. The Rise of the Governor to me is just like the Star Wars Prequels. They take away the surprise and the mystique of the villain. If you guys come across it don’t bother reading it.
The Road to Woodbury is a little better. It shows the journey of some people who become residents of Woodbury and the horrors they see both before and after they get there.
American Horror Story: Asylum
I just finished the whole season( lots of time to watch things at work). Wasn’t bad, I want to know if they missed any horror genre to throw into that last season. Geez it was everywhere, I half expected to see Freddy Kreuger show up.
Star Wars- JJ Abrams is directing Episode VII. I am glad Lucas’s hands are not all over my beloved Star Wars still. I am hoping that the next trilogy makes me forget about the last three movies. I am still angry about paying money to see Jar Jar. Expect more lens flare.
WWE- I miss the days of the Attitude Era, Even Shannon was into it when the Rock and DX were on Monday Nights during the Monday Night Wars. Yeah I am a big fan of wrestling. My first match I ever went to was when I was seven years old. It was Hulk Hogan winning the heavyweight title from the dreaded Iron Sheik. I was hooked from then on. It just seems like the WWE just lost its way over the last 10 yrs since it went to being a PG show. Shannon used to call me up now and then and drop a promo like the Rock now and then on the Mets or whatever was on his mind at the time. If you get a chance while The Rock is on this run with the WWE to try to catch one of his promos. They are great. CM PUNK is the only guy today that I think can go toe to toe with him right now.
I am starting a web show as a pre cursor for Twidiot Abroad starring Ed Marcus(relation to Carol Marcus?) aka @lagranderusty. He will be answering all types of questions sent in by you the fans. It could be anything. Mets, dating advice, how not to be funny on twitter, anything you guys want. Ed won’t see the questions ahead of time. Please email them to me at [email protected]. Man this should be fun…..
I am done for now. Hope you guys enjoyed it. I am stuck on set right now for an overnight shoot….JOY
AGENT SHARK are you back yet?
The Mets have signed right-handed reliever LaTroy Hawkins to a minor league deal with spring-training invite, agency Reynolds Sports tweeted.
Hawkins, 40, went 2-3 with a 3.64 ERA in 48 relief appearances with the Los Angeles Angels last season. He has pitched in the majors for 18 seasons.
One of the giveaway bobble heads for this season Thanks to @cofeenyc for the pic.
I just purchased my strips for the 2013 ASG at Citi Field. I am so glad I didn’t try to get my near where my seats for my 20 game plan is. Those strips would have cost more then my 2 seats for the 20 games.(I figure with the fees it would have come to around $1500 for 2 strips. I found that too much even for me.)
So here is the breakdown for the strips I did get.. The $60 in fees is still cheaper then a ticket to opening day though.

Update: As it seems right now, only 20 game plan holders got the email and the ticket window to buy tickets today. I could have sworn that both were supposed to be getting the email with the link to purchase the tickets. Confirmed by the Mets, 15 game plan holders get the email tomorrow.
