What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
ESPN NY (by way of Elias) informs me that Jose Reyes tied Lee Mazzilli’s club mark for hits in May with 40.
Lee of course was surrounded by a cast of nobodies following a trade of the franchise’s most liked players.
For you kids, tell me how many of these Mets you’ve heard about?
I applaud this team for losing only 96 games.
You folks that complain about the last 5 years have no idea.
So you know how it sucks when MLB and ESPN (not the Mets) move a Sunday game to 8:05?
Some cute little kids, the same kids that are your future fan base were all excited about their trip to Citi Field on Sunday.
Little league mother Carolyn Pravda told us she was annoyed about the whole situation—ESPN has the option to pick a game of the week for national broadcast, and they chose the Mets/Braves matchup. So MLB moved the start from the original time of 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., “far past bedtime on a school night for most Little Leaguers,” as she put it. The parents in the two participating little leagues, Prospect Park and Bayside, bought around 1500 tickets, at $25 each for Upper Deck seats, for the event.

Dave Howard, you Dave – looking at you – let me help you.
You and I both know you’ve got 1500 Upper Deck seats for some Sunday game this summer.
Call the Little League now, play nice, fall on your sword even though it’s not your fault, and then let guys like me and Cerrone and Rubin get it out there what a nice thing the Mets did.
Good PR is fun too! For the want of 1500 unused tickets this is an easy one.
(The article does suggest the Mets are trying to work something out for later in the summer.)
Here’s General Lukas and General LI Phil from the War To Ditch The Black sporting their sdrawkcab jerseys at Citi Field on Wednesday. More about the creation on Uni Watch
Phil and I were talking about meeting up and I said it would be like a date to me in that I;m thinking, “What do I wear? What if I accidentally bought a cheesy jersey? How high do I wear my socks?”
Lots of pressure on that one.
Oh, no it’s not a backwards photo. You should know us by now, we’re not that lame.
I like that backwards jerseys come in cream and white. No dropshadow.
