Boy I hope all 81 games don’t sell out and I hope stubhub doesn’t close…and that scalper I used to meet in the parking lot, I hope he’s ok…just got this!


Dear Mets Ticket Plan Holder:

To retain your seat location, payment is due by this Friday, December 18, 2009. You can submit full payment by MasterCard, Visa, Discover or American Express.

Alternately, you may select the convenient payment plan option to pay just 50 percent of your total invoice amount (including any credits already applied) by December 18. If choosing this option, your same credit card will automatically be charged the remaining 50 percent of your invoice amount on February 1, 2010.

Accounts that have not made any payment as described will be canceled after Friday, December 18.


Dear Mets,


I call your bluff.  Cancel me.   I await your call asking me to reconsider.


What’s really awesome is that I got two emails at the same time.  This is from the other one, from the Phillies mailing list.


Phils acquire Roy Halladay
The Phillies have acquired right-hander Roy Halladay and cash considerations from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for Minor League right-hander Kyle Drabek, outfielder Michael Taylor and catcher Travis d’Arnaud. Additionally, Halladay agreed to a three-year, $60 million contract extension with the Phillies that includes a $20 million vesting option for a fourth season.

Wow I wish I could make your life easy and embed this video…but you absolutely have to click the link to see the Home Run Marlin for the new stadium for the Miami franchise.

It looks like this thing on the left….but it pops up like the real Apple and the new fake Apple…but as if you had listened to Sgt. Pepper to many times.  You have to see it here.

The wooden apple got stuck…no chance this thing does.

Jason from Home Run Apple dropped a note to let me know he updated the look of his site (something I hope to do over here during the Christmas break) and I was pleased to discover he has joined the Blue Cap Army, which is my call for all Mets fans to don blue (not black) Mets caps at games as a form of silent frustration with our lack of championships.   My desire is to express such frustration without causing financial harm to the organization.  So wear the cap you already own or buy a new one.

Look at any picture of a Mets crowd and you’ll be surprised that there’s not as many blue caps as you’d think.

Here’s a shot I found on Google…see many blue caps?

Metsblog has a fine recap of Jeff Francoeur’s appearance on WFAN which contains this nugget:

Francoeur said, when he was with the Braves, he heard rumors that there was a divide in the Mets clubhouse between Hispanic players and American-born players; but, once he was traded to the Mets, he didn’t see that.

1. When did you start following the Mets?


My earliest vivid baseball memories were around 1988, when I was eight.  That NLDS sticks pretty well.  I was born into being a Mets fan via my mother and some of my earliest memories are baseball geekdom, so I imagine it was when I became cognizant of the world around me in the early eighties.
