One of the fun things about Opening Day is that I met some actual readers.  What surprised me is that readers actually enjoy the snarky posts about Mets caps.   Well, good news – there’s plenty of new caps out there.

I’ve been posting a lot of museum/opening day pictures but I’m jonesing to do a caps post so let’s do a quick one.  First the pictures then the comments.  The challenge: guess which one I actually purchased.

That first picture (my usual awful framing): there we see an unappealing blue cap with New York on it.  Clutter.  It’s not even a Mr. Met cap, why is it in this post?

#2: Two Mr. Met caps.  That blue one on the left is kinda cool…the one on the right, eh, why buy it if the one on the left exists and is right next to it.

#3: a nice looking blue and orange Mr. Met cap.  If I were a hot chick and I saw a fat guy in one of those I’d give him a kiss.

#4:  also a blue and orange Mr. Met cap but someone got carried away with the orange dontcha think?

#5:  That one on the left is interesting and quirky..Mr. Met’s cap has blown off!

#6:  Interesting in that Mr. Met is standing (or leaning on a bat) but why did they ruin it with the orange line thingies?

#7:  Also not a Mr. Met cap but how about that variant NY.  Very cool.

#8:  The answer to today’s quiz, and perhaps the clues gave it away – I bought this one.  $18.

Fun game tonight despite the loss.  Never should have been that close.

Lots of booers at Citi tonight.   It has to stop.

Went to McFadden’s.   Nice, roomy, nothing special (yet?).   A good meetup place – I met Media Goon there and we had one beer then went in the CF stairs gate.

Glad it’s there, not sure how often I personally will use it.

I think beer (aluminum bottles) are in the $6/$7 range.  I had a $2 special.

When you enter the museum take a hard right and walk to the corner and you’ll find this neato interactive exhibit featuring the Mets announcers.

Some have criticized this exhibit that the audio presentations are hard to hear…I am confident the Mets will make a modification.

If you are reading this on the main page, click “continue reading” to see the pictures.

Clicking on a picture will make it much bigger so you can actually see it.

Everyone else will see them below.

Media Goon, who is a much better photographer than I am (but hey who isn’t) took these shots of the workout.  He sent me over a ton of pics so I’ll be mixing his in as the week goes by.  I may even let him post them.  He seems trustworthy.

Tonight I am meeting him at the game and we’re going to try taking video.

By “we” I mean him and I stand next to him and maybe buy him a beer.

Any requests?

Ceetar who has his own site Optimistic Mets Fan, and who was part of the small but enthusiastic Blue Cap Army (years from now the originals will hold a reunion steak dinner) sent this one over, and last night’s dead cap photo, and has shared his photos from opening day.
