Yuck.
However it’s that time of year when guys like @mediagoon and/or @ceetar can break out their photo-shop and try to imagine what the Citi Field ASG caps will look like. The N is kind of easy.
Really ugly 2011 All Star Game caps

Mike Piazza sold his penthouse
First John Franco’s 11 bathroom house now this via The NY Observer.
According to city records, $4.58 million. That is only $360,000 more than Mr. Piazza paid in 2004.
Trade Reyes
On 3 I rip the band-aid off. One…two…
I know, I know…Jose Reyes and his kindly agent are definitely going to re-sign with the Mets at a price that allows Sandy Alderson to also add other pieces even though it has been said over and over that the Mets will cut payroll next year and K-Rod is well on his way to vesting. Together, Wright and Reyes play together for years and finish 1-2 in all the offensive stat categories.
How long you been watching this soap opera?
Michael Baron from Mets Blog got me thinking yesterday when he wondered on twitter where the Mets would be without Reyes. Well, WITH Reyes they are a 4th place team looking up at the Nationals and Pirates. Up.
I know this all hurts Mets fans, but turn off your emotions for a second and think this through.
You may have heard of the Wilpons. They own the Mets. They have money concerns.
Reyes is going to make a lot of money.
The Mets are in 4th place.
Reyes is playing as well as any player has these first three months. His value will never be higher.
The Mets could lose him after the season and just get draft picks. Sometimes those picks turn into David Wright, Ike Davis or Mike Pelfrey. Sometimes they turn into Lastings Miledge or Bobby Keppel. You feeling lucky?
Comments are open. Start blasting away. Besides when this happens we can all don old New York Giants caps and root for the team of our ancestors in the playoffs as a sign of solidarity. The caps are black so they’ll sell.
….
Some fun from the off-season. You can make the choice that no one else will face. The right choice.

And contest aside, don’t forget to actually vote Reyes on this All Star Ballot. Vote for all the Mets. Even Emaus – because that would be funny.
For clarity sake: Metspolice.com is not holding a meet and greet contest of any kind. The Mets are. I’m just telling you about their contest.
