Mets Lifers: Please Don’t Be Creative
The Former "Former Franchise" Digs The Rays
I’m laying off Seaver for a while because he showed up at the final game at Shea and played the role well. Here’s what he has to say about The Rays:
“[They are] very analogous (to the 69 Mets),” Seaver said. “Because of their pitching and defense, and defense up the middle, they’re in every game. We were that way. It’s a nice story, a great story — young guys with talent who believe in themselves and have a strong manager.”

Absurd NFL Coaches Interview Policy
The Rams want Jim Haslett to be their coach.
They would like to sign him and pay him.
They can’t.
Haslett is 2-0 but must remain the “interim” coach so that in the off-season the Rams can follow league guidelines and interview minority candidates.
Who do you suppose they will wind up selecting? That’s right – Jim Haslett.
So why insult other men by making them go through a process they can’t win? I understand the goal, but this seems silly.
I Guess "Midget Mets" Isn’t PC
Remeember the “Midget Mets?” This was the kids fan club in the 80’s and the club had it’s own entrance at Shea that was where “Gate F” would have been.
I remember in 1984 during the heart of Cubsbusters the Midget Mets fanclub got free tickets to a game – teh Mets picked a crappy random game against the Cubs who had been equally as sucky as the Mets were in 1983. Lo and behold (is that a real phrase?) the Mets-Cubs random game became a doubleheader, and one of the hottes tickets of the season – and the Mets got stuck with 20,000 kids in the upper deck, none of whom were going to buy a $3 beer. Ha-ha!
Anyway, this morning the Mets have invited me to be in the “Fan Club For Kids.” For $25 you get a bunch of crap including a bag of Cheez Doodles, a cheesy orange visor (just give a blue hat), and a buy one get one free coupon for Aquafina. Really.
Oh, and no tickets.
