What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Here’s the new locker plate design the Mets will use in Florida thanks to our tweetpals @newyorkmets (and I am @metspolice).
I think it looks great. A good use of blue and orange, apparently you CAN make those colors look cool, and hmmm no black nor dropshadow.
Very interesting. Very interesting.
I don’t know what the heck happened that I have become the reasonable one…I’m just not bugged out about the new Mets ticket plans. I think the Times’ headline is snappy but a tad snarky in that it makes it sound like Dave from Flushing is standing on the 7 train passing out freebies.
Fans who sign up for one of these offers will get a bonus game thrown in. Dave Howard, the Mets’ executive vice president of business operations, said the extra tickets were an “added-value benefit” and that the flex packs were created “in response to feedback we have received from our fans through various research and outreach efforts over the past year.”

So now we’re going to bitch out the Mets for responding to feedback and giving some folks an extra ticket? Really?
Dave please stop trying to be fan friendly. It’s much easier to blog if you’re not 😉
Anyway like I said yesterday – if you are a wigged out 15 planner call and ask for an extra game and let’s see what happens.
In the Post, Kevin Kernan wrote about the lefties who arrived early in Florida, and then DW gave this quote:
“You always want guys who put the work in,” Wright explained. “You want 24 teammates who maybe don’t have the talent, but have that work ethic, have that desire; you’d make that trade any day. I think that’s what we have, a bunch of guys who are putting the work in and are dedicating themselves to having a good year.”
As for other players, there’s no reason you can’t be healthy while working out in a Long Island gym and attending Islanders games right? You can still stay healthy and crush it in your walk year from anywhere!

Got a goodie for you coming up around 10 or so. Stand-by.
Oh Mets, the soap opera that writes itself. I swear I don’t think they are even a real team, just a well crafted TV show.
As little as I understand about finances, I did understand this excerpt from the LA Times…and yes this story would be far less interesting if we were referencing the Arizona Diamondbacks or Kansas City Royals.
Wilpon could sell a share in the Mets and/or SNY, the team-owned cable channel, to help finance a settlement, at $1 billion or something less. And what that means for baseball is that Wilpon would be diverting the money generated from any such sales to resolve litigation rather than to improve the team.
McCourt and his attorneys would find that extremely interesting.
New Era calls this one the “over logo”
We see hints that a hybrid would look “better” with this style NY as opposed to blue on black..but it still isn’t a good look.
