Report: Jeff not grasping the reality

My afternoon news sweep noticed a story in Business Insider.  I thought there was nothing new, but then the following perked my eyes.

One source is telling Business Insider that the Mets will have to sell more than just a portion of the team, noting that the Wilpons “need to sell a stake in it TV network SNY if any kind of deal is going to get done.” The source also feels that Jeff Wilpon (Fred’s son) “is not grasping the reality of the familys circumstances” and that the Mets may be operating with a $80 million operating deficit this year.

via MLB Gossip: New York Mets and LA Dodgers Owners Will Have To Sell.

One thing about Jeff Wilpon, he’d never charge you to print out tick…oh wait never mind.

Possible New Mets Slogans for 2011?

Terence posted this on Facebook and I asked him to send it over to me. This is from his $2.50 fee print at home tickets.

Kind of lame in my opinion if either one is in an consideration to be the new slogan.

I prefer Man Up And Play Better

The WTF 1994 Mr. Met 1.5?!

Hey remember I was telling you how awesome the Mets Complete Illustrated History is and how you should buy it? (especially if last night’s under $20 price is still there)

Well, I got to the 1994 page and saw THIS

 

WHAT?

WHEN?

THIS HAPPENED?

Now for me…1994…let’s see, I was really into my new girlfriend (you know her as Mrs. Mets Police) and I had gotten a full-time job, and the Mets sucked and we didn’t have the internet, so I could see how I missed this….

…but in 3 full years of blogging and ranting about how Mr. Met Prime (you can see him in the museum) is way cooler than Swishy (the modern faux-Mr. Met) not one of you mentioned this.

WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?

I kind of like him better than Swishy, and I’ll you one thing – Mr. Met 1.5 would never charge you to print out tickets at home.
