Bad looking cheesy Tom Seaver Mets jersey

Man I really enjoyed Einstein Bagels, I mean Dunkin’ Donuts.

Yep yep sitting on my deck, definitely not trying to pretend this wasn’t pre-written last week.

So if you’re thinking “man, Shannon wrote a lot about jerseys this week, I wonder if he had to write the blog in advance” you are totally wrong.

I’m sure Media Goon’s many articles have been great anyway.

Great and many.  Right?  RIGHT?

Tomorow I will tell you about the time I faced live pitching from Tom Seaver.   Really.

Today I will tell you this jersey is terrible.

Now, can anyone tell me if the 7 stops at Addison?

Jose Reyes New York Mets Fashion Jersey

Man, that was some game last night.  That big play was…wow, I can’t describe it.  And what can be said about the pitching, man oh man.   That game is so inside my head that it’s as if I’m still out of town and wrote this last Saturday.

So as I pretend to be on my way for the weekly Saturday Dunkin’ Donuts run (seriously guys, buy an ad!) let’s ponder that Jose Reyes is better at designing black jerseys than the actual Mets black jersey designers.    Orange piping works better.

Jerry Seinfeld to Be in the Booth WED.

Jerry Seinfeld is going to get into the booth with Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez on Wednesday for the Mets vs Tigers game.

Now I am imagining if this took place on Seinfeld show. Jerry renews his man crush on Keith, Kramer busts into the booth and says he knows who was really the spitter, Elaine is trying to hit on Ike Davis while he is at first, and George is stopped by the Mets security to be given a Yankees style security check.
I hope I didn’t give them any ideas for a reunion show now or if they do and use this idea I wanna see some Seinfeld money.

Mets Police Night Shift and Maggie’s video

Seems like that was quite a game. I kept sneaking peeks at the gameday function on the iphone app and it was stressful watching the Adventures of K-Rod even in text-only form.

I just watched a fee highlights and am going to have to root for Maine to take Takahashi’s spot if he keeps picking silly color schemes. Maybe they don’t have black uniforms in Japan so he sees them as a novelty. Then again Bobby V was over there and he is who I think of black jerseys (and that guy from the Dodgers who was here for a while.)

Anyway even I am sick of complaining about that, so here is a note from Maggie who is helping pitch in. Tomorrow keep an eye on the Tumblr section, I hope to do some undercover work here in the central time zone.

Hey Shannon,

Since you’re out of town and out of touch, thought I’d pass along a super-fun slideshow I just uploaded.

My cousin Mary and I were at the June 5 victory vs. the Marlins. We treated ourselves to VIP seats with Caesar’s Club access. I only get back to NYC once per year for a game, and for this one we bought once-in-a-lifetime seats on StubHub.

I know, I know, she’s wearing black. I planned the video in advance (obviously, when you see the video clips interspersed), and I asked her to wear a Mets shirt, but I neglected to stress it had to be a non-black shirt and assumed she’d show up in the orange and blue. Ah well. I was wearing my Murphy shirt in honor of my fallen comrade.

Enjoy, and feel free to pass it on.

Maggie in NH
