Can we learn anything from the 2011 Reds batting practice jerseys?

The Reds have new BP jerseys, which as you can read in this really thorough breakdown are inspired by the 1936 Reds.

Also in the article you’ll see that while the red looks nice, the BP jerseys will still have the dumb different-underarm-color.

I’m going to hope against hope that the Mets version is blue and orange and not the terrible combination of blue and black.  Did ANYONE buy a 2010 BP jersey?  If you did please let me know.  I am of the belief the Mets sold zero of those.

Also the Reds design suggests the BP caps will have unnecessary lines on the front, thus making them stupid looking.

If I missed a leak of the Mets 2011 BP jersey please let me know.

Bowling with Colactus

The Post caught up with Colactus…

He is planning on having bowling nights for staff and players. That’s right, bowling.“You have to have fun, don’t you?” Collins asked. “I don’t even care if you don’t want to bowl or you want to bowl left-handed, but we are going to get together, have some pizza, have some fun and try to draw us closer together.”

via Post heads home with new Mets skipper – NYPOST.com.

How about SNY films the bowling night and gives us something to watch on an off-day?

How about a pro-am where two Mets and two civilians make up a team and play other similarly staffed teams…also filmed for SNY.

If I get to play I don’t want Ollie on my team.  He can’t throw strikes. Wocka wocka wocka.
