Mets season winding down. Anyone still here?


Things are really winding down in Metsville. There really hasn’t been anything to read since the Einhorn flurry, and honestly I have been kind of bored since Murphy got hurt.

There’s fewer people tweeting during games, and I suspect that will get worse.

So, here’s just a random collection of thoughts and stuff:

That website that makes good points about the Mets’ radio booth is back at it again after a flurry of inactivity. 3 posts in 4 days.

Mets Police does not seek to get people fired. If people get offered their dream job to broadcast for another city, that’s cool.

I’m already bored with tales of Piazza and Franco and the home run that I find overrated although I know I’m really in the minority. Oh, and the great Bobby V should never have let the team get in the hole they were trying to dig out of. There’s that pesky April math again.

I hope the Mets bitched about Sunday’s game-time. The Jets play at 8 and the Giants at 4 so there was a nice opportunity to have some daylight on the 9/11 ceremonies. Thanks ESPN.

I absolutely love how every Mets Yearbook goes out of it’s way to mention Banner Day.

Would be nice if SNY could make some “new” Mets Yearbooks. Produce them in a retro-happy style and let Howie voice them. Like go all in and do “Mets Yearbook 1993” and talk about how great the club will be. Is it possible there are rights issues on getting video?

After this season even I’m ok with taking a break on the 86ers for a while.

My crystal ball shows Daniel Murphy as someone else’s opening day 3B and Duda in RF for the Mets.

Today my spidey-sense is picking up a surprising lack of interest in Reyes by other teams, allowing the Mets to re-sign him. Just a spidey sense.


Ok, Fred – things are boring. Please give us something to talk about.
