@ceetar with the hookup from last night’s Mets game.
You can’t trust this guy to get you a cone in a do-or-die spot.

I stole this entire post from Faith and Fear
And now….I steal an entire post from a fellow blogger!
Reminder to anybody attending tonight’s game between the Mets and the Astros: Stop by McFadden’s Citi Field between 6 and 7 and come say “hi” to noted marathon runner/fundraiser Sharon Chapman and me and, if you can, please make a donation to the Tug McGraw Foundation. We’ll be there to raise funds for a great organization dedicated to fighting brain cancer, the disease that took Tug’s life far too soon.
You can help us out one of three ways:
1) Buy an all-you-can drink (responsibly) wristband for $20, which covers beer and well drinks between 6 and 7 PM tonight; $5 of that goes directly to Sharon’s Tug McGraw Foundation fundraising kitty. (Thanks to McFadden’s for its cooperation on the offer.) All those who buy the wristband will be automatically entered into a drawing for great Skyhorse Publishing Mets books, like Faith and Fear in Flushing: An Intense Personal History of the New York Mets. I’m pretty sure I can get the author to sign that one.
2) When you come over to say hi, buy Tug a beer. That is, we will gratefully accept the approximate price of a beer — any beer you have in mind — in our special Mets collector’s cup, the proceeds from which, again, go directly to Sharon’s fundraising efforts for the Foundation.
3) If for some strange reason you’re not rushing to Flushing tonight (plenty of good seats are still available!), please considering contributing here. Every little bit helps and every little bit is truly appreciated.
Hope to see you at McFadden’s tonight. Hope to see the Mets win immediately thereafter. 5-13 doesn’t look so hot and it feels even worse, but like the man said long ago…You Gotta Believe.

Mets Today asks: is R.A. Dickey the leader?
Some very interestingness from Mets Today
Dickey was candid and made good points; he continued to speak for several minutes and included himself as one of the people who needed to take responsibility for what is going on and do better.
If I have any issue, it is this: why is R.A. Dickey the mouthpiece of this team? Why is he the perceived leader of this team?
Pics From 4/19 Mets Game Part 2
Here are some more pics from the rainy 4/19 game.

A longer than usual excerpt with the intention of promoting a cool series. You’ll like the full article.
Each Thursday, Mark Simon will commemorate the Mets 50th season with stories and notes related to the history of the team.
If you’re a Mets fan who is feeling down about the team’s current losing ways, this would seem like a good time to celebrate the most dominant period of winning in club history.
We’ve just passed the 25th anniversary of the beginning of that run, an 18-1 stretch by the 1986 club that started with a streak of 11 wins in a row. A club record that done three other times, the 11-game streak was rudely interrupted by defeat, then concluded with seven more victories.
