Randy’s gonna win Blog of the Year hands down for stuff like this one…
Another grand slam from The Apple
We’re #1 Mets logo from 1989?
As I mention from time to time, in 1989 I was more interested in girls than Mets…so I have zero recollection of this. Did they really run their mouth with an arbitrary “best since 1984” logo?
Did this happen?
My war with ESPN: Mazzilli ‘washed up’?!
Hey ESPN what is this crap? From an article about the Texas Rangers.
(Oh, that and some bad trades: Dave Righetti to the Yankees for a washed-up Sparky Lyle; Ron Darling and Walt Terrell to the Mets for a washed-up Lee Mazzilli; Dave Stewart to the Phillies for Rich Surhoff; leaving Tom Henke unprotected in the free agent compensation pool.)
Washed up? Washed up??
Mr. Washed Up got a ring. How many rings do the Texas Rangers have?
Later that year Texas traded Lee to the Yankees. You know who they gave up? Bucky bleepin’ Dent. You know, one of the Pride Tradition and Mystique guys? Would the Yankees of the 1980’s make a dumb trade for a washed up ballplayer (wait, don’t answer that one.)
Suddenly you guys are gonna wax poetic about the Rangers? The team that went bankrupt and has a manager who failed a drug test?
Mr. Mazzilli also helped Toronto get to the ALCS in 1989. Have the Rangers ever been to the ALCS? Nope.
Washed up, ha. The Rangers wish they were as washed up as 1982 Lee Mazzilli.
Swoosh Mets road jerseys?
Good morning Mets fans!
Does anyone know why Kevin is trying to upset me? I’m minding my own business blogging about dogs and the Yankees and he has to go and send me this:
Hey Shannon,
Last night on Versus — saw, for the first time, a new show (or maybe it’s been around and I’ve just missed it) called Baseball’s Best Rivalries. It featured the Mets’ and Phillies’ all-time rivalry. Took this screenshot of Johnny Franco from 1993. I know you’ll just LOVE it.
Hope all is well,
Kevin
Oh my goodness. Did that really happen? Were there really horrible road “swoosh” jerseys???
I don’t remember these at all. I do see I have a receipt from Rekall technologies from 1993 and sometimes people think I am someone named Quaid but I don’t remember this at all.
I’m experiencing this horror show for the first time.
I will say one thing, at least it isn’t black. Which brings us to the impossible poll results…
Last time out you were asked if the devil made you choose between black or underline which would you pick? Surprisingly 58% picked underline. I thought more of you young whippersnappers would pick black – or maybe my old fogey blog appeals to fat middle aged guys with man-crushes on Lee Mazzilli.
Any suggestions for the next poll?
The 2009 New York Mets Yearbook cover
One last set of thanks to Angel who sent me all these photos from his personal yearbook collection. He sent me some other cool things I will begin sharing once the offseason gets barren and I need posts.
Right now I need one of y’all to send me the 2010 Yearbook – I don’t have a picture. [email protected]
Now on to the usual yearbook sarcasm…well there’s nothing awful about this. New park, white uniforms, minimal black, price stayed flat. Rats. I was in the mood to goof.
