The @mets twitter account has not posted since October 9th, that post was a link to whatever that postgame thing they do is.  I honestly cannot remember the Mets EVER taking a full day off.

As for Steve, I think we know what Steve is.  He will show up for a WIN and disappear when things aren’t in celebration of his awesomeness.  Here are his last tweets.

So there we see excitement for the good times and silence in the bad.  Got it Steve.

Meanwhile on Facebook, this appears to be the last Mets post.

So what are other eliminated teams doing.  The Cardinals had one tweet, wishing someone a Happy Birthday.

And the Rays did what both the @mets and Steve should be doing..

..although to be fair, they have been silent since.

For eliminated teams, I sampled the Marlins.  They went dark for a bit after October 6 but did post yesterday.

So is this coming from baseball itself?

But look guys, you bombard us with stuff all day every day for 363 days…there’s no reason to go silent.  I am not suddenly going to follow the Mariners just because the Mets stopped tweeting.

We need to hear from the organization AND FROM STEVE.

Do you thank us?  What are YOU feeling or thinking?  And when do we get our playoff money refunded? (they have cool electronic money transfers now where it can be done INSTANTLY if one is motivated.)

 

Enjoy the wrapped Subway Cars for the next month in one of the all time great embarrassing marketing campaigns…..you’re rubbing it in your own faces for a month lol.

 

Hello baseball mafia. You don’t find this odd?

Baseball not selling out in New York City?  And you’re going to keep telling the sport is not dying?

Luckily CBS Sports are still free-thinkers…and anything I excerpt here is aware there was a pandemic, so some of the pandemic related stats are thrown out.

2022’s attendance number was the lowest for the league since 1997, when attendance was 63,168,689 across the league.

Even when throwing out 2020, when no fans were in attendance, the MLB has seen a decline in attendance in nine consecutive seasons.

The last time the MLB had an increase in attendance was from 2011 to 2012 — but total attendance has dropped 14% since then. (via CBS Sports)

….

In other news, the T-Shirt Army is mad at me because I pointed out they seemed pretty quiet last night.  I was watching the 9th inning and I heard a pretty loud “Let’s Go Padres” chant….but nothing from the We Struck Him Out people.  Media Goon claimed it was a conspiracy in that ESPN had obviously miked the 6 Padres fans but not the Army.  Riiiiight.   To me, it seems like 6 Padres fans took your corner.

…

You don’t hear from Steve Cohen much after losses.

 

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Man I guess we’ll be talking about THAT game for quite some time.  Anyway, I am busy today, here’s a cap post.

Here’s a great illustration of why black doesn’t work as Mets color.  When they had the hybrid caps, the black made the blue look kind of purple.  You can see that effect here – it looks purple until you really look at it and realize its blue.

Anyway New Era put out some caps to get everyone excited for the playoffs.  Show everyone what a big time Mets fan you are by rocking this.

NEW YORK METS COOPERSTOWN OVERHAND SCRIPT ’47 MVP DV

The stated mission of this blog has been to stay here until the Mets win the World Series while nicely dressed.  By nicely dressed I mean NOT IN BLACK.  No black, no drop shadow.  You have nice uniforms. They look like this.  Wear this.  With a blue cap.

Now I know it is Friday, and you guys seem to think Blackout Friday is cool.  I can swallow it during the season but this is the playoffs.  Let’s look like a baseball team here.

I want to stop doing this, and you’d be thrilled if I go away.  Star Trek is desperately in need of me to fix their disaster with a daily blog pointing out all the stupid things THEY do.

So help me help you.  Dress nice and win the World Series.  Then I will blog about the parade and then I will go away.  Your move.
