What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Well, the ballots are out…
You can vote for Ike, Brad Emaus at second (oops), Reyes, Wright, Thole, Beltran, Bay, and Pagan. You can also write in Dan Murphy, and I know that you will.
Hopefully soon they’ll tell us where the 2013 game is. Bloggers like All Star Games. Just throwing that out there early.
Oh, and Mets fans…the Chris Young on the ballot – he’s an OFer. Different Guy.
via @newyorkmets here’s the Ike Davis Bobblehead that will be given out on July 19th. You know you want one.
Note BobbleIke’s great taste in caps. Sorry, I had to.

And if it does become one, let’s change the tweet to “Only two absent were Ike Davis and RA Dickey, who arrived in DC with permission today” and see if people are still mad.
The best looking of the Mets Bloggers* tackles an interesting question from one of his fans.**
*: a joke I stole from Randy from The Apple
*: if you are a Mets blogger and feel you are better looking than Kerel please let me know. I’m not saying you guys and gals are trolls…but Kerel is the man.
**: these kids today. It’s 1986.
I know I’ve been having a back and forth love-fest with Uni Watch (and what’s wrong with that?) since we both are you know obsessed with that topic I’m trying not to do today…but Paul Lukas has an awesome Coke vs. Pepsi marketing discussion today..and guess which the Mets are?
…it’s almost like the Mets said to themselves, “Okay, we’re never gonna out-Coke the Yankees, so we may as well embrace the Pepsi approach.” That’s how the Mets ended up adding black throughout their design program; it’s how they…..
