What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
SLACKISH REACTION: It feels serious this morning. I think whether you are a fan of the NBA or not, a fan of the man or not, just hearing that someone like Kobe Bryant was suddenly gone was a shock to the system. I know I don’t feel like being my usual smart-aleck self this morning.
A few Mets tweeted their reactions.
ICYMI I believe this is the Mets Spring Training cap.
ICYMI really good job by Raissman calling out the media.
No No No No No Please God No

I think that’s how we all felt when we heard the shocking news.
RIP to one of the greatest to ever pick up a basketball and step on the court. Some people grew up with Larry, Wilt, or Jordan. I grew up watching Kobe. It’s not just a sad day for basketball or sports. He did life right. Now, he’s a king remembered in time. #Mamba4Ever

I join all of you in mourning Kobe Bryant, sad tragic news. Praying for his family, a very painful day.

Also Marinsick (remember him? Did I spell his name right? He gets 16 and Wacha gets 45.
This is probably the Mets 2020 Spring Training Cap.
The guys over at Van Hagar went to Fan Fest and I did not, so I will let you read their recap.
Seems like the event was really well done. Congratulations to the Mets. (I still think they did a lousy job promoting it). Hopefully the Mets are happy with heir results and will make the Fest and annual bigger thing.
No word on Jon Matlack making the Mets HOF, but my original source there is his son and Jon standing outside Citi Field and Dan congratulating Jon on making the Hall. So that would be a weird thing to do all around – why would Jon Matlack randomly visit Citi Field in the winter? So I am sticking with this story even if it didn’t get announced yesterday.
I saw a Dodgers one like this yesterday, so I am pretty sure this is the 2020 Mets Spring Training Cap. Spring Training Cap tip to Van Hagar for the lead.
I like this design and will buy a $25 low crown one. I will not buy a $45 high crown structured one because I am not Vanilla Ice.
Someone spotted what looks like the #Mets’ 2020 Spring Training hat at Fan Fest today. (via r/NewYorkMets) pic.twitter.com/vBSUgJsy3t

Congratulations to the Mets, seems like everyone is enjoying themselves at Fan Fest.
Gotta say. This is extremely well run, @Mets. Everything is super organized. Players roaming around with fans. Lots of stuff for kids (face painting, balloons, temp tats), panels, BP, lots to do. Hopefully a yearly thing.

This is not a dig, just shocking.
I can’t believe panel room is this empty. pic.twitter.com/Ol6XTg7y7o

Less cool is the NYPD parking in handicapped spots.
