Tonight was part of the Saturday+ plan, so if you’re like me you ate your tickets. Thanks Dave.
@dixontimothy hooked us (that’s you and me, not some royal we) with this pic around 8 or so.
Crowd shot from Tuesday-is-Saturday Citi Field
Reyes and Beltran need your All Star votes
Jose Reyes is among the league’s leading vote-getters at shortstop, sitting in third place. Reyes trails Colorado’s Troy Tulowitzki.
Outfielder Carlos Beltran is also among the highest vote-getters, sitting in eighth place among outfielders, behind Lance Berkman.
Don’t forget, All Stars bring back better prospects from the Giants.

Catching you up from the weekend
Hello – hope you had a nice weekend. While you were away I redecordated…a hopefully less cluttered design. I also plan to use the “sticky” post option more often – leaving the big story or stories of the day up top, with newer content rolling out below. So if you see something up top you’ve already seen it is usually going to be worth scrolling down to see what’s new.
There was a surprising amount of stuff going on so let’s catch you up and give you some stuff to read over lunch.
I suggested the Mets retire #8. Amazin’ Avenue wrote a respectful rebuttal.
The Mets visited the Intrepid (cool pics via @newyorkmets) but Keith says the Mets do too much off-field stuff.
The Eddie Grant plaque was added to the Citi Field museum
A guy was wearing a dog costume at Citi. Turns out it was some Fox shenanigans.
People get mad when I say it’s over.
Citi Field ranks higher than Fake New Yankee Stadium in this survey
The News checked in with Robert Valentine at work
The new guy wore a blue Mets cap to the game.
All in all a pretty busy weekend. Anyone else sick of work yet?
David Einhorn wears blue Mets cap to Citi Field again
Hmmm, has the saga of the War To Ditch The Black entered it’s endgame? Has a leader arose from the rubble?
And to hear what he’s saying (not about caps) check out this video on ESPN NY.
I think the Einhorn fashion watch bares close watching.
Speaking of Blue Caps, I got this email
Hey S.,
I was thinking, on June 18th, a Saturday. The Mets are having blue cap night for the first 25,000 fans. It would seem a natural to have all the minions of followers go THAT night for a meet up. You could post a section and tell people to buy there if the group sales option seems like too much trouble. you could have a meet pre,post whenever.At the apple, maybe at the bar with a pre game buffet- charge a little extra and give proceeds to GKR or something.
I’d help out if you want to plan something.Just seems like a fun thing to do.
And we all go to a Mets game too…

And I was all in for that idea and was going to assemble the troops – and then Mrs. MP reminded me I am out of town that weekend. D’oh.
Maybe Colonel Media Goon wants to hang with you guys – I gave him my tickets.
