The latest in the Fake Mets Yearbook series.  I think it would be fun if SNY made some new episodes of Mets Yearbook (with Howie as voice) and chose to have fun with them.  My goal here is to capture the innocence and optimism of the old films.  “This year” was always disappointing in the end, but “next year” was gonna be great.

Still haven’t had a chance to ask Fake Bob Murphy to voice one, and my laptop came with a different version of Movie Maker so it took me a while (that and Mrs. Mets Police talking to me)…but anyway here we go!

Mark Simon over at ESPN NY broke down some stats from yesterday’s game.  Here are just a few – good read.

Luis Hernandez became the second player in Mets history to record seven at-bats in a nine-inning game. The other was Lenny Dykstra in a 23-10 win against the Cubs in 1987.

Jonathon Niese got 18 runs of offensive support. In his previous five starts, Niese had gotten a total of 16 runs of support.

Good morning Mets fans, it seems like John Lackey would have fit right in behind Santana

For Lackey, last night’s 3-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox marked the eighth time this season the big right-hander was saddled with either a loss or no-decision in games which he surrendered three earned runs or less. He allowed the White Sox one earned run (three overall) while giving up only four hits and fanning seven in a 116-pitch effort. The outing also marked his club-leading 17th quality start of the year.

I thought tonight’s podcast was our best yet – along the way a great idea was generated by Dan – what if Bobby V were the new baseball czar and Wally Backman his manager? I love this idea and will flesh it out into a post soon – but first I have to finish Fake Mets Yearbook 2009 for the morning.

We do the podcast every Sunday at 6:30pm.  You can listen below or search for it on itunes.

Man the Daily News cracks me up today…

Jeter in his Twilight Years. Are they gonna turn on this guy that quickly?

And Sunset Drive for LaRussa and Torre about how they stayed too long as manager.    Damn you miss the playoffs once and they hang you high.

God help Joe Girardi if he only wins one round in the playoffs.  Joe maybe you should just take that Cubs job.
