What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
This is my pride and joy. The Mets wore these in 2012 for St. Patrick’s Day. I acquired a blank…I just did…stop asking questions…a trip to Stitches…and here we go.
There are only three of these known to exist. The one Murphy wore in the game (whereabouts unknown), this one, and @mediagoon’s
I got this in my slew of email when I woke up today.
I wonder how many strips are actually left.Do those go over to the lottery in April? Will people buy a plan now knowing how much each strip is? Are people just hoping to get in with the ASG Ticket Lottery? Did the sticker shock scare away some plan holders from buying strips?
Will Batman and the Boy Wonder be able to escape the Sands of Time trap that King Tut has them in? Maybe these questions answered soon, stay tuned to this, same bat time, same bat channel.
I think it’s just another reason not to have the WBC
I am glad to read that Tom Seaver is feeling better. Several of us respectfully wondered about him last year after he seemed “old” during his public appearances.
Bill Madden has the story in The News that Tom has been fighting an advanced case of Lyme Disease.
And Seaver had hip-replacement surgery? Am I reading that right? Was that news? I imagine we would have blogged that.
Tom, I hope we see you on April 1st.
I have waxed poetic before about showrunners Greg Prince and Jason Fry and their unending ability to create new story lines on my favorite television show Mets.
As I blogged about in the Season 49-51 episode recaps the writers have been masterful. The Jose Reyes arc. The nearly unbelievable R.A. Dickey storyline (really, the guy climbs a mountain and then wins the Cy Young and THEN gets traded…come on.)
So far it looked like they were going to lead Season 52 with the Santana arc. It made sense. They had set up the actor’s series departure by giving him a major storyline in the no-hitter…and then started S52e01 with the Mets giving the guy crap for little to no reason. Typical TV where the man’s exit is telegraphed.
But no. Prince and Fry are so much better. They head-faked us and made us drop our guard with the Captain America storyline.
They set us up to fall in love with David Wright again. They got us to start watch some silly made up moneygrab tournament They got us to buy the merch.
Then last night at 7pm they dropped the bomb. David had been scratched. And now a cliff-hanger. Another day of bloggers and tweeters randomly speculating and hanging on every morsel of information from the infamous Mets medical staff.
Well done Prince and Fry. You have done it again. I look forward to the next episode.
