Hopefully one last word on Media Guides

Last week the readers and I had a back and forth about the Mets decision not to provide 15 game plans with a physical copy of the Media Guide this year.   (Already debated, read the original post here.)

Jimmy the Mets fan found his voucher for what I’ll call The Phillies Solution.

If a fan wants a media guide they can have one.  If they don’t they don’t – which allows the Phillies to cut down on printing and this “go green.”

Again, we bought tickets so anything the Mets choose to send on top of that is a gift, and we have no birthright to get a Media Guide.  However, I am not a Vulcan and I will miss not adding a 2010 Media Guide to the shelf with its brothers.  I guess I could buy one, but as I’ve said before I am pretty cheap.  Hopefully the Mets will consider this option.

Time out: the stuff that matters

Here in the blogosphere we get to know some people, even if is just online.   As much as this site can be about being cranky, I like to do whatever small good I can do in this world.

There’s much more to life than busting on Omar about his cap, and today a sick little girl heads to chemo and she could use your help.

Read more about her story here.

NJbaseball says the incorrect Game 7 brick at Citi Field has been removed

NJ Baseball posts that he spoke to Dave Howard about the incorrect Game 7 brick and quotes Dave as saying “it may have already been removed.”   A photo suggests that it indeed has.

Honor among bloggers – visit NJbaseball to read more and to see the picture.

Great job by Dave Howard and the Mets on jumping on this one.

Great job by NJ Baseball getting the story.  Everyone click some links and give them some traffic.

Friends, this collective fan movement can and does work.   Great job by Tom in bringing the error to our attention in the first place.  Now that we’ve actually accomplished good for the day I think I’ll go outside.

Dave, I really would like to sit with you for a game.   I’m far less annoying in person.

Omar Minaya in a black Mets cap with a red NY

Mrs. Mets Police just informed me that I have to go to the egg-hunt….

…oh awesome as I typed that sentence she excused me. Woo-hoo….

…as I was about to say, check out Big League Stew to see Omar Minaya in a black Mets cap with a red NY, and wait until you see who is giving him a “what are you wearing?” face.  At least that’s what I think mystery guest is thinking.

Black and red seems an odd color combination for the GM of the New York Mets to choose. If I just moved here from Australia and knew nothing, it’s a nice looking cap…but Omar, dude, lead from the front. At least where a horrible hybrid. They may be ugly, but they are official.

I’d post the picture but the AP Police are stronger than the Mets Police so off you go, I’ll be here when you get back.
