What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
I find this whole Lukas website about Wayne Hagin kinda fascinating. Â (Lukas is the guy who writes Uni Watch).
Did Hagin steal Lukas’ cat or something? Â I feel guilty even linking. Â Wayne should start “Who Cares What They Wear?”
If you’re bored at work, there’s a few good rants.
In other Lukas news, on UniWatch he linked to The Ballcap Blog. You know I’ll be reading that one.
True story – you know how on last night’s post about the Minaya postcard I said that sometimes “snooze you lose?”….so when I was blogging last night I remembered someone had sent me something about a sale on Mitchell & Ness jerseys. Â I couldn’t find the email/tweet and poked around the M&N website to find it…struck out, went to bed and left it for tonight.
Sure enough….Mets Blog has the info. Not that there’s any sort of competition (we are friendly and the sites do two very different things, and theirs is better), it’s just an example of what I was saying last night….D’oh. 😉
Oh well. Â Speaking of MetsBlog, it’s one thing when kooks like me panic…I take it much more seriously when MetsBlog suggests panic has entered the clubhouse
Like yesterday, I don’t recall seeing this one before. “You’re the Most?” Some sort of mid-60’s slang?
It’s nice to see the price of the yearbook holding study at 50 cents.
The yearbooks started with a baby, then a small kid, then a slightly bigger kid…I wonder how this kid will look in say 4 years….
Another look at Brian’s closet. Â Here’s Brian:
Vaughn
The only saving grace in this one is that I have a jersey of the last Mets’ player to ever wear #42 as a full time number. I’m convinced that the sole highlight of his Mets career was that 500 foot bomb he hit off the Budweiser sign on the Shea scoreboard against the Braves in 2002. For Mo and all of us who watched him, that was as good as it gets.
Want to feel worse about this? We took Vaughn and his bloated salary from the Angels in exchange for one year bust Kevin Appier. Want to know the young arm the A’s drafted as compensation for the Mets signing away Appier in the 2000 offseason? Jeremy Bonderman. He’d look pretty decent in the number 5 spot in the rotation right about now.
She’s a good girl, loves Mazzilli
Loves Seaver and Piazza too
She’s a good girl, crazy ’bout Reyes
Loves Hojo and Dwight Gooden too
Good work by Keith Olbermann on his Baseball Nerd blog….he has proof that there are pictures of Torre at Fake new Yankee Stadium.
It’s a long day listenin’ to Howie
Don’t want to… donate my car
And I’m a bad boy, ’cause I don’t even miss them
I’m a bad boy for startin’ this blog
(everybody!)
And we’re free, we’re free fallin’
Speaking of the Yankees, Googling God has a nice story about Mrs. Bob Sheppard.
All the vampires walkin’ through the clubhouse
Move west down Ventura Blvd
And all the bad boys are calling Joe Benigno
All the Mets fans are home with broken hearts
And we’re free, we’re free fallin’
Paul’s Random Stuff is having Vintage Week, where he looks at old Mets baseball cards. Â Very cool.
Now the Mets fly over Mulholland
I want meaningful games in July
Don’t wanna free fall out into nothin’
Wanna enjoy the Mets for awhile
And we’re free, we’re free fallin’
