Sweet Brooklyn Cyclones Margaritaville jerseys!
Mets 2024 All Star Game Cap and Workout Cap
These are the ASG caps. Whatever. They are ugly.
This is the Workout cap. A tad better but not much. These remind me of the kind of ap you’ get as a kid circa 1980.
Now if the Astros like their rainbow stuff so much, why isn’t that their jersey. I do like their current look, especially their roads, which are nice and clean.
MLB gets everything wrong, ignoring that most every fan wants to see the players in their normal uniforms….at this point even @mediagoon isn’t paying $400 for a Fanatics jersey (my City Connect feels soooooo cheap, like I bought it at a shop that says SOUVENIRS across the street from Citi Field.
Mets are totally into Pride Night
The Mets and their players are really into Pride Night. Box checked!
MSM admits Pete Alonso not so good this year!
From Newsday
Regarding Alonso being the best version of himself: He hasn’t been quite as productive as usual. Entering play Wednesday, his average was up to .243, much better than the .217 mark from last year. But his .790 OPS was the lowest of his career. The on-pace-for numbers: 34 homers and 90 RBIs.
“I feel like I’ve been myself,” said Alonso, who has been better lately. “I’m doing a good job of trying to win baseball games and putting my efforts toward that. Performing and not performing, there’s ebbs and flows to the season. Over the course of the year, everything will even out and be where it’s supposed to be.”
While Pete did homer last night, his brand of baseball continues to lead the Mets to 4th place. You and your wild card talk can stick a sock in it. It’s 4th place baseball.
RIP Willie Mays
I feel like I should write something about Willie Mays. Willie’s time with the Mets was before I started watching, so I don’t have a personal connection other than understanding how great he was.
Sidebar- how do you not look at the uniform below and see that it should not be messed with Steve.
Now look at this
Or This
What are we even doing Steve? I digress.
Going through my archives, I had pulled these images from a Schafer Ad I stumbled across at some point. Love the blank uniform.
When I was a young man I was obsessed with the random assignment of #24 to Kelvin Torve.
It was annoying to see 24 sort of retired, but available when Ricky Henderson and Robinson Cano came along, so good job Steve on cleaning up that mess.
Anyway, much smarter things about Willie will be written today, I encourage you to read those as we all say farewell to the great WIllie Mays.
