Howie Rose: best in baseball?

Is there a better radio play by play guy in baseball right now than Howie Rose?

Whereas some announcers will talk about atomic bombs, Howie will use descriptors like “…to the deepest part of the park, nobody will get this one….” and subtle information-sharers like “…grounds to the shortstop, Jose Reyes.”

Ceetar caught another example of the majesty of Howie…and as part of Honor Among Bloggers you are going to have to click here to find out what it is.

Wine Tasting event for Club Mets folks tomorrow

Thanks to Ceetar who must be part of Club Mets for sending this over.   I’m cheap so I am not in the club.   Please support Honor Among Bloggers and visit Ceetar’s Optimistic Mets fan.

I hate being back at work.

Oh yeah, the wine thing…

Dear Club Mets Member:

Come out to Citi Field this Wednesday night for an exclusive wine tasting event in the Empire Party Suites as the Mets host the Reds at 7:10 p.m.!

  • Enjoy all the amazin’ action from the exclusive Empire Party Suites while tasting great wine
  • Tickets are specially priced at $80 each
  • Ticket Price includes admission into the Empire Party Suites for the entire game along with the 1 ½ Hour Wine Tasting and Open Buffet (6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.).

Again that was offered to Club Mets folks, but yesterday it was included in the general email to all fans, so I suspect you can get in if you want.

I wonder if they will be serving some GTS?

This site is getting weirder and weirder but you gotta at least give me that’s it’s different.

While you were eating hot dogs and watching fireworks, Mets stuff happened (recap)

OK slackers, as predicted everyone blew off the internet all weekend, but now we’re all back to the grind so it’s time to goof off at work by reading Mets Police articles.  Here’s what you missed:

The Post wrote an interesting article about the financials in Flushing.  Might the team be sold?

After two weeks of Better Seats Lower Prices the Mets sent out a Stubhub ad.

I know I’m getting old when even Cerrone says The Fireworks Game was before his time.  Read about the game here and here.

The Mets wore Stars & Stripes caps and looked like idiots in black.  Here’s the win-loss-attire breakdown for June.

ESPN’s Ultimate Franchise survey lists the Mets last among baseball teams.

You can buy Mets 2010 World Series tickets right now.  From MLB.  Really.

The Mets are inviting out former ticket holders.

Yes, Bobby Bonilla will be paid by the Mets until 2035.

I’m working on “70’s week” for next week.   If you have a Mets blog with some 70’s themed content you wouldn’t mind lending me…hit me up at [email protected]

That should give you enough reading to make it through.   Stupid work.  If you subscribe via email you won’t miss any of this awesome content.  How could you go on without knowing what the Mets wore or when Bobblehead Day is.
