Quick recap of Mets stuff you missed while at the beach

While you were sunning yourself all weekend, I was sunning myself while typing.  Here’s what you missed:

Media Goon took the Citi Field Tour….here’s Part 1 of his pics

If you missed it, Mike took a swing at Mets Blog on Friday.  My take.

Monday was the 20th anniversary of Seinfeld and ESPN recapped all the Mets related moments.

Sports bag giveaway June 5th.  Also Stitch & Pitch day

Beach towel giveaway on June 6th

Sometimes it gets in my brain that They Traded Tom Seaver

Don’t drink and blog..nor buy jerseys

Oh crap…been sitting in the hot sun all day…cooler nearby….cleaning out inbox…bouncing around on the intertubes…a little “extra” money on Paypal and….oh no, I’m going to be in my own “You own this Mets jersey” series.

I’m starting to have a problem…I mean the Stars and Stripes jersey isn’t even here yet….and now my iPod is playing “Stairway to Heaven.”

I’m becoming a parody!

Then again, this is gonna annoy Osh41.  Heh heh.   Have a BBQ Osh.

Lee Mazzilli won a ring with the Mets

I spent the day reading more of the awesome Faith and Fear book and it bought back more of that stuff I of course know but it still zings my brain:

Lee Mazzilli won a ring with the Mets!

Lee was the All-Star on some of the scrubbiest Mets teams of all time, and then the Mets broke a young boy’s heart by playing someone named Mookie and then trading Lee away for two nobodies named Ron Darling and Walt Terrell. What did the Mets need those guys for?

Now it sounds like something I would make up…a fantasy that Lee would come back just in time for the stretch run in 1986.

That just doesn’t make sense. Why would that happen on the real world?

Fortunately it did, and I lived long enough to see Lee Mazzilli celebrate winning a Mets championship.

I don’t have strong memories of Lee’s departure in 1989. Maybe Osh41 can remind me. I was probably on the rag about it. I was on the rag about the Mets from about that day until I walked into the Mets museum this April.

Anyway, that October my dad died and August and September were spent in a hospice. Lee Mazzilli being waived? Who cares in the scheme of things.

Tomorrow: the awesome book unrepresses memories of the Juan Samuel trade.
