From 1981…VALENTINE: METS’ NEW MYSTERY – The New York Times

It’s 1981 and the Mets have traded for a young OFer named Bobby Valentine!  Also read the article to see for yourself that Ellis Valentine (no relation) had a $40,000 car in 1981!   It’s also see that way back when people already didn’t know what to make of Bobby V.

Valentine puzzled the many clubs in the big leagues who coveted a man of his skills. Some club executives speculated that he was a hypochondriac, other asked if he once had a personality problem or even a drug problem. But to his teammates, he was a a 26-year-old bachelor who made $350,000 a year and spent freely, but a talented athlete who did not even drink. And to the Montreal fans, he was exceptionally popular even as he headed his car toward New York. ”I don’t see why I should play,” he said recentl

Mets plan to restore Ticket Fees after Thursday!

I told you those crazy Mets wouldn’t be able to run a business without charging us all fees.  After Thursday the Mets have no choice but to return to charging you Service Fees, Convenience Fees, Excelsior Fees, Value Added Tax, Equipment Charges and Rentals, and Fees Fees or whatever it they add to your ticket purchases….point being Fees are back, and the Mets are promoting it!

I don’t know how the electrons have been making it from the Mets’ computers to your phones without being subsidized $6 per transaction, but I’m sure this all makes sense on the back end.

Mets Police Morning Laziness: the King of Kortisone, the Curse of Cohen and the big Wilpons story other sites missed

Someone was eating the Bloggin-Dazs last night and that person was me!   I did some evening posts because I had to Actually Work (TM) all day (and again today, what the hell man) – and I had my good entertainment fastball.   Speaking of Ice Cream…

What is Mets Ice Cream Anyway?

All the other sites missed the Big Wilpons Story yesterday.…and I’m not being jokey here.  What happens if their cashflow isn’t what they thought?

And why did Lyin’ Todd Frazier have to travel to New York to see the King Of Kortisone? (Sad)  And how will the Mets survive Todd’s inactivity – will Jeff McNeil’s .329 bat play?

You should treat yourself to Tom Seaver’s last inning as a Met.

and don’t forget the Curse Of Gary Cohen!

SLACKISH REACTION:  I was saying to my kid last night how much I enjoy blogging.  I had my good fastball last night on some silly posts, and as I told her, I don’t care if anyone reads it, I am entertaining myself.  I had had a long day at work, and writing silly ice cream articles made me happy.  If someone else read it and got a chuckle, that’s cool, but I am just having a good time.  I also, earlier in the day, was thinking about how this has been fun  and that…wait for it….maybe if the Mets do win the World Series while nicely dressed that maybe I won’t quit after all…..I know, right?????…..anyway they will never win so let’s not even waste brain cells.

All I know is I am having fun, and I have a new fun foil in Wags to take out for spins, and the TDKoala (The Dark Knight of Anaheim Los Angeles) is out there for me to make fun of…and yesterday I saw a tweet asking why Jim Riggleman was wearing #5 and I wasn’t sure that it was wrong  I mean, you COULD see the Mets being that stupid, right?  “Oh, Jim asked if he could wear 5 and it wasn’t being used, so we said sure.”  That’s a thing you could imagine, no?   So all this is fun and maybe I will stick around.
