Happy Mercury Mets Day!

Li Phil reminds us over on Uni Watch that today is the anniversary of The Stupidest Thing Of All Time, the Mercury Mets!


I kind of hope they move to Mercury so the Skyliners can move to town. Or maybe I’ll just move to San Francisco.

You used to own this Roberto Alomar jersey

This video is supposedly of Roberto Alomar “housing” (there’s some 80’s Queens slang for you) someone’s Alomar jersey.  I personally have never know Roberto to steal anything so I would be surprised if that were true.

This 311 ball logo doesn’t have a tiny NY on it either

One of my favorite things about the site is when you guys send things in. This one is fun..

Hi Shannon, I just got back from the 311/Sublime with Rome show at Bethel Woods Center for the Performing Arts (which is actually at the original site of Woodstock) and 311 had this t-shirt for sale. I picked up the blue and orange but it was also available in black. I only saw people wearing the blue and orange. There was a Yankees shirt available as well, but, who cares about that. I thought you might think this was interesting.

The downside of me posting this is I suspect these will soon become collector’s items once my pals in Flushing read the site.
