Nike spring Mets-wear

You know what rocks? When you wake up in a hotel room wondering what you’re gonna write for leadoff and you check your email and MLB has sent you “check out Nike spring” something-or-another. So I did what they said and got some nice easy content.

First, this one below is really on the Mets page. Maybe it’s the lack of sleep but does anything scream Mets more than this?


Hmmm. Now without using Photoshop I can show you one with an NY. The NY really does look bad in blue on black.


Um sure. Yeah how “Mets.”

Next we have this summer hat. I may buy this and make it my annoying affectation for when I blog by the pool in a Hawaiian shirt and this hat like a fat Trapper John. (Kids, Trapper was a character on a show called MASH that Greg Prince and I used to watch.)


Here’s a hallway decent looking jacket…I could see The ‘Ropolitans blog rocking this out.


And a not at all decent looking jersey


But it could be worse


And yes they have alternate caps…we’ll visit those starting later today.

Topps 2011 Mets David Wright and Johan Santana

My Topps 2011 Series 1 has arrived.  Sometimes on a quiet night I enjoy putting the cards in the binder.  I didn’t get that far yet but I thimbed through the first 56 cards and came across card #15 David Wright and card #56 Johan Santana.  Click on either for a bigger image

I’m a card-design snob much like a uni-snob.  I approve of this design, and my all time favorite design is 1977 Topps.  Shocker there.

Various Mets things

I though this was an interesting read for those of you into the financials: the Village Voice asks Who pays for Citi Field If Wilpons Go Under? Lots of bond talk etc in there

Did y’all see the quick internet fire this morning? Someone misread a tweet and there was a quick rush of “Ollie was released” scurrying. He was not. I thought nice again the “Big news happens when I travel” was in effect.

Make sure you read this so you can be one of the cool kids who supported Murph all winter long, not like the bullies who pick on him and will decide theyblike him in June.
