Some more fun from Mitchell & Ness…this a “traditional pinstripe t-shirt” back from the days when the Mets were candycanes.
Mets Pinstripe T-Shirt
Yep, Bobby Bonilla will get paid by the Mets until 2035
Sometimes I have to step back and remind myself that
a) not everyone reads all the crap I do
b) not everyone reads my dopey blog every day
and c) the site actually picks up new readers.
“News” broke today and I kind of ignored it all day, but enough people have sent it in that I figured I should post it.
Bobby Bonilla will be paid over one million dollars a year by the Mets from 2011-2035.
I guess that it financially made sense to defer it, but the future has arrived (it’s the gosh-darn 2010’s! Â Where’s my robot?) and soon Bobby Bo will be making a million bucks again.
The Wall Street Journal went into some detail of the financials, and CBS Sports also covered it today.
It might make sense but as I gray, a piece of me will die every time I buy a ticket or a hot dog and think that Bobby will get a piece.
Now I’m really looking forward to the 2036 season…which will include nice blue uniforms with 50th anniversary of ’86 patches and a reunion featuring 70 year old Doc Gooden. Â Unfortunately, the Mercury Mets will no longer be in Queens then.
Weird lineup tonight
Nothing wrong with it, just atypical

Some silly fun from The Apple. It’s simple, but stay with it, Randy keeps it fresh.
Recommended civilian Mets attire for the July 4th weekend
I got the red white and blue cap at the ’47 shop at Citi Field for $18! Â The price sticker says “Mets-Giants” which I thought was mighty interesting….may have to discuss that separately. Â Â Anyway, it’s red white and blue and much nicer than the Stars & Stripes caps.
The Mets stores are also selling the Stars & Stripes jerseys ($99), which are also nicer than the caps.
If you pair the two up the colors don’t quite match, but you aren’t going to pick up girls in a Mets cap and jersey anyway so who cares.
