Cutting to the chase.  The material feels “cheap.”  I have a LOT of jerseys, and this material feels thin and “silky” like a Cycloens jersey, not what I am used to from an MLB jersey.

Also, maybe I didn’t pay enough attention, but the jersey has this weird splatter pattern on it.  It does not look good up close.

Here you can see the splatter a bit more.  I don’t think I noticed that when they were announced, but again maybe I just didn’t pay attention.

I thought these were going to make good civilian-wear, but now I am not so sure.  They are also more gray than I imagined… not as easy to pair with other items as, dare I say it, a black jersey is.

Overall: disappointed.

Here’s the promo image, do you see the splatter? I don’t.

Also my jersey looks lighter than the image below.  Not as light as the image above is making it look to my eye here in the room with the jersey, but not as dark either.

Anyway I will wear my cap and jersey together some day and let you know how it looks on a middle aged fat guy.

With a new petition, Cohen is placing special emphasis on convincing Queens residents that their borough needs yet another gambling facility because State Senator Jessica Ramos is increasingly skeptical of the plan. Recently, Ramos released a poll that showed that a majority of her constituents don’t want a casino. Cohen needs Ramos on board to help get state legislation passed because the Citi Field parking lot is technically state parkland, and needs to be re-designated in order to host a giant building filled with roulette wheels and sad people.

But Cohen has a plan B. “Cohen is already considering ways to work around Ramos if she ends up opposing the bill, according to three people familiar with the strategy who spoke on the condition of anonymity as conversations are continuing,” Politico reported:

The move would entail persuading the state Senate to approve the bill without her, particularly through outreach to Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and possibly Bronx state Sen. Nathalia Fernandez, who is being courted to give a similar approval to a Bally’s casino proposal in the Bronx.

“For two years, we’ve worked closely with the community and our local elected officials, including Senator Ramos, as we’ve developed a vision for Metropolitan Park, and we will continue to do so,” [Cohen spokesperson] Ricket said in a statement to POLITICO. “If she ultimately chooses not to introduce legislation in this session, we have both time and multiple pathways to get this done.”

When the T-Shirt guy isn’t using vulgar hashtags, he does make a nice t-shirt. And they are all really comfortable.

This reminds me of the kind of thing that was available in the 70s, and I mean that lovingly.

I like this design Keith.  I mean, I like this design, I don’t know why I said Keith.  That was weird.  I like this design.

IS MURPH NOT A NET NEGATIVE?

Have we lived so long that Daniel Murphy is a “Mets Legend” 

Has everyone forgotten that everyone but me tried to run him out of town for 2009-2015? (People liked him in 2008)

Have we forgotten Emaus?  Have we forgotten Hall of Fame Ike Davis?  Have we forgotten Jordanny Vadlespin?  Have we forgotten the snide comments about Murph running the bases like a border collie?  Have we ignored the digs on his play at second base while forgetting the only reason he was at second is because you chose wrong and picked Ike Davis?  Have we forgotten how the t-shirt guy razzed me in April 2016 because Neil Walker was god for three weeks?

Apparently we have.

Back you you Gare.

In other news:

Daniel Murphy,who you tried to run out of town, career OPS (do you millennials still do OPS because you sure did when Murph played) was .796

Pete Alonso 2024, who you want to extend 10 years – his OPS this season is .786

But I notice you guys stopped doing OPS for some reason.
