The Vibe I am Getting.

Good Saturday morning guys. Unlike Shannon I am still in NY and I was able to watch the game last night. I enjoyed the whole game, it was entertaining to me. Well, until KROD came into the game in the ninth. Is it a prerequisite that our closers have to give us little scares when they come into the game? Seems that way since Franco got here in the 90’s at least. Anyway here are some of my thoughts.

I went out to dinner at a local bar/restaurant near my house in Queens last night. Usually there is a 3-1 ratio of Yankees to Mets gear being worn there. Not last night. I don’t know if the Mets have gotten some bandwagon hangers on or Mets fans are starting to believe in this team. The bar was loud and you could hear the fans going nuts when the Mets scored or made a good play. I have not heard the bar that loud for the Mets in a long time.

The other thing I have been noticing while I am out and about is there seems to be a lot of Mets hats being worn in the wild. I have been seeing mostly the traditional blue and orange, followed by the hybrid, and then quite a few of those MR MET hats that have been posted hear before.

It us great to see the fans getting behind the team again and I think it has a lot to do with the Mets playing well. But I also imagine that it has to do with the Mets organization becoming more fan friendly this year then last. Tours, Museums, and even acknowledging the bloggers to me makes it seems like they are listening to what the fans want.

What do you guys think? Do you feel like fans are back to believing in the Mets? Or, do you think this is going to be just another let down?

MLB Alternate BP Hats

First of all let me thank you guys for sending stuff in. It is making my life so much easier while Shannon was pretending to be Tom Hanks in the movie the Terminal yesterday.
Brian was nice enough to send this in. The MLB came out with alternate versions of the team batting caps.
As you can see here they took away the black from the logo and added orange to the bill.

I am guessing Shannon will probably say he likes it better then the original ones but still doesn’t like the black lines.I am just guessing at that.

What do you guys think of this?

Blogs In Mets Survey

The Mets have been really cool with bloggers this year. Will sent over this survey from the Flushing Flash e-mail that he go this morning.

One of the questions was if you read blogs. The question right after it was which blogs do you read.

Niese Like Pitching Efforts Remembered

Hey gang. Media Goon here filling in for Shannon while he is wearing his road grays this week.

Here is something from Mark Simon of Mets Blog on ESPN NY.

In looking back on Jonathon Niese’s one-baserunner shutout last Thursday night, we thought it would be appropriate to survey those who follow the Mets most, and ask them “What is your all-time favorite Mets pitching performance?”

Oh yeah, Shannon has a favorite NON SEAVER (Can you believe it?) pitching performance that he mentions in the article.

Mets Show Appreciation for Season Ticket Holders

First of all, I got to Citi a 12:20 and missed out on the beach towels. Oh well, what can you do?

Before the game, the Mets had season ticket holders stand at the eight starters positions to meet the players. It ranged from one person to a family of four waiting out there for the players.

I watched a father and his young son in right field just having a good time till the players came out. I think the Mets might have made a couple of life long fans today.

In my opinion I think its a pretty cool way for the Mets to show their appreciation.
