What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
The primary problem with the Mets use of black is that it clashes with the blue. It’s not like I hate the color, and yeah it looks good on civilians.
I saw this in the clearance shop on MLB.com
Here’s how you do it (if you must do it)
Nearly perfect — if only the sleeve logo had the NY.

There’s fewer people tweeting during games, and I suspect that will get worse.
So, here’s just a random collection of thoughts and stuff:
That website that makes good points about the Mets’ radio booth is back at it again after a flurry of inactivity. 3 posts in 4 days.
Mets Police does not seek to get people fired. If people get offered their dream job to broadcast for another city, that’s cool.
I’m already bored with tales of Piazza and Franco and the home run that I find overrated although I know I’m really in the minority. Oh, and the great Bobby V should never have let the team get in the hole they were trying to dig out of. There’s that pesky April math again.
I hope the Mets bitched about Sunday’s game-time. The Jets play at 8 and the Giants at 4 so there was a nice opportunity to have some daylight on the 9/11 ceremonies. Thanks ESPN.
I absolutely love how every Mets Yearbook goes out of it’s way to mention Banner Day.
Would be nice if SNY could make some “new” Mets Yearbooks. Produce them in a retro-happy style and let Howie voice them. Like go all in and do “Mets Yearbook 1993” and talk about how great the club will be. Is it possible there are rights issues on getting video?
After this season even I’m ok with taking a break on the 86ers for a while.
My crystal ball shows Daniel Murphy as someone else’s opening day 3B and Duda in RF for the Mets.
Today my spidey-sense is picking up a surprising lack of interest in Reyes by other teams, allowing the Mets to re-sign him. Just a spidey sense.
New York Mets third baseman David Wright has been named National League Player of the Week for the period of August 29-September 4, 2011. The announcement was made earlier today on MLB Network.
In eight games last week, Wright led the National League with 13 hits and five doubles while tying for second in the league with seven RBI and 21 total bases. His .500 batting average (13-for-26) and .594 on-base percentage both ranked third among qualifying National Leaguers last week, while his .808 slugging percentage ranked fifth. The Norfolk, Virginia native added a home run and six runs scored to his totals, helping the Mets to a 6-2 record on the week. Wright collected at least one hit in each of the eight games, including five multi-hit performances. On Monday, August 29th, the right-handed hitting slugger went 2-for-4 with a double and a pair of RBI as the Mets earned a 5-1 victory and swept their doubleheader with the visiting Marlins. After a 2-for-4 performance in a losing effort on Tuesday, Wright posted his third consecutive multi-hit performance on Wednesday, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and a run scored in the 3-2 victory. In Thursday’s series finale at Citi Field, Wright went 1-for-2 with two walks, one run scored and two RBI in a 7-5 Mets win. On Friday, the 28-year-old took his hit parade on the road as he homered, doubled and drove in three runs en route to a 7-3 victory against Washington at Nationals Ballpark. The double was his 20th of the season, marking the seventh consecutive season that he has reached that plateau. In Sunday’s rubber match of the three-game set in D.C., Wright connected for a pair of singles and scored a run as the Mets defeated the Nationals, 6-3. In 41 games since returning from the disabled list on July 22nd, Wright is hitting .325 (51-for-157) with six home runs, 31 RBI and 27 runs scored. This is his third career weekly award, having won previously for the weeks ending August 28, 2005 and June 18, 2006.
Other noteworthy performances last week included Wright’s teammates Lucas Duda (.286, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 7 R) and R.A. Dickey (2-0, 2.08 ERA, 7 SO, BB, 13.0 IP); San Francisco’s Carlos Beltran (.364, HR, 2 3B, .727 SLG); Florida’s Emilio Bonifacio (.333, 11 H, 7 R, 3 2B, .450 OBP, 3 SB); San Diego’s Jesus Guzman (.455, 10 H, 4 2B, .538 OBP); Arizona’s Aaron Hill (.500, 11 H, 3 2B, 4 RBI, .636 SLG), Miguel Montero (.320, 2 HR, 8 RBI, .640 SLG), Gerardo Parra (.524, 11 H, 5 R, 3 2B, 2 3B, .583 OBP) and Daniel Hudson (2-0, 0.64 ERA, 13 SO, 14.0 IP); Albert Pujols (.435, 3 HR, 7 RBI, 5 R, 10 H, .913 SLG, .519 OBP) of the St. Louis Cardinals; Philadelphia’s Ryan Madson (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 4 SV, 4 SO, 3.1 IP); Milwaukee’s Shaun Marcum (2-0, 0.00 ERA, 12 SO, 14.0 IP); and Chicago’s Randy Wells (2-0, 0.60 ERA, 9 SO, 15.0 IP).
