What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Man, that was some game last night. Â That big play was…wow, I can’t describe it. Â And what can be said about the pitching, man oh man. Â That game is so inside my head that it’s as if I’m still out of town and wrote this last Saturday.
So as I pretend to be on my way for the weekly Saturday Dunkin’ Donuts run (seriously guys, buy an ad!) let’s ponder that Jose Reyes is better at designing black jerseys than the actual Mets black jersey designers. Â Â Orange piping works better.
Seems like that was quite a game. I kept sneaking peeks at the gameday function on the iphone app and it was stressful watching the Adventures of K-Rod even in text-only form.
I just watched a fee highlights and am going to have to root for Maine to take Takahashi’s spot if he keeps picking silly color schemes. Maybe they don’t have black uniforms in Japan so he sees them as a novelty. Then again Bobby V was over there and he is who I think of black jerseys (and that guy from the Dodgers who was here for a while.)
Anyway even I am sick of complaining about that, so here is a note from Maggie who is helping pitch in. Tomorrow keep an eye on the Tumblr section, I hope to do some undercover work here in the central time zone.

Hey Shannon,
Since you’re out of town and out of touch, thought I’d pass along a super-fun slideshow I just uploaded.
My cousin Mary and I were at the June 5 victory vs. the Marlins. We treated ourselves to VIP seats with Caesar’s Club access. I only get back to NYC once per year for a game, and for this one we bought once-in-a-lifetime seats on StubHub.
I know, I know, she’s wearing black. I planned the video in advance (obviously, when you see the video clips interspersed), and I asked her to wear a Mets shirt, but I neglected to stress it had to be a non-black shirt and assumed she’d show up in the orange and blue. Ah well. I was wearing my Murphy shirt in honor of my fallen comrade.
Enjoy, and feel free to pass it on.

This one isn’t as awful as some of the other jerseys that i have posted but it is in dircet violation of Murphy’s Law which states: chill out and see if the guy is even on the team in Year 2 before dropping $100. Â Oh, and it’s black. Â Come on dude.
Thanks to Ceetar who takes blurry photos as well as I do.
Ben sent me an email…
I am sitting in one of my favorite cafes. The front is open to the street. All of sudden one of the cafes workers come up from the cellar. A typical city thing. He is wearing a baseball cap. I see it mostly from behind. It is black. It has a blue button and I see the brim peaking around the side and it is blue. And a very familiar blue. Then he turns around and surprise of surprises, a white Yankee NY. I said to myself, “Now that’s a hybrid. An awful hybrid.” I wish I had my phone. I left it home charging. I would have loved to send it to you. Oh well. Perhaps next time.
I suspect this photo is it. If you ever wondered what Jeff Steinbrenner would be like…
Now Mets fans I have an idea.
LET’S BUY THESE!
We have been told the Mets wear hybrids because they sell. Then let’s get the Yankees to wear them. If they don’t we’ll prove that (a) it’s possible to sell caps without wearing them or (b) the Yankees sigh have more uniform integrity. I guess the other scenario is that the Yankees start wearing these, which would be a hoot and a holler anyway.
BUY THE YANKEE HYBRIDS!
Hey Jason, that t-shirt from last night didn’t really cut it…would you mind trying a little harder. Â Maybe pretend the Mets are a hockey team and for some reason they wear red. Â Like the Canadian flag. Â Whatever…just we need a little more than an NY and your name on the back…
