I haven’t plugged my buddy Lou over at Centerfield Maz in quite some time, but here on Jerry Koosman’s birthday (also Metsivus), please treat yourself to Maz’s recap of the great career of Jerry Koosman.

His is a name never spoken by the younglings and barely mentioned around Citi Field.

If you’re below say 40 do yourself a favor and learn about The Third Greatest Pitcher in Mets history and if you do know about Jerry, treat yourself to the wonderful pictures in the article and ask yourself why in hell they ever messed with the uniforms and jackets.

Centerfield Maz should be in your regular rotation of Mets blogs…it’s one of those that I especially appreciate because (like so many of the Mets blogs) it is different and marches to its own editorial calendar.

Good morning Mets fans,

While I take a special bonus weekday outing to the Unnamed Donuts Chain, I wanted to wish you a happy Metsivus.

As is our tradition, I invite you to the airing of the grievances. I will go first.

Oliver. Oh Ollie. Do you not understand team? Do you mot understand people were trying to help you? Would an August in Buffalo been that bad?

Francisco. Don’t bring that crap in here. Man up and play better.

Fran. No you haven’t called a game in years but I am still annoyed at how many awful games you called.

Doc. Get it together man. You’ve gone to the forgiveness well too many times.

Terry.  No not new Terry, the other one.  September 11, 1987. Terry, they had battled all the way back. Why did you do that to me?

San Diego. Just play a day game after a West Coast Trip and don’t make the Mets open their new stadium at night.

Dave. They’re obstructed.

Luis. Put it in the….oh hell.

The famous Yankees Ambassador Lee Mazzilli has been sighted:

This fall, 350 fans of Mets broadcasters Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling, and Ridgefield’s own Gary Cohen turned out to support Ms. Cohen’s charitable Foundation. With the sun shining down on Citi Field’s Bullpen Plaza, these fans — GKRers, as they’re known — got to experience a special day featuring unprecedented access to rare memorabilia, N.Y. Mets personalities, coveted raffle items, and the fellow fans they’ve come to call dear friends over the years.

I think this might be my last post ever.  Randy from The Apple just kills with every post.

If The Apple isn’t your favorite Mets blog it should be.

Look at this.  He has conquered reverse embedding technology and now has added clean-wipe-edits.   Media Goon, let’s step it up.

What’s really awesome about Randy is that the two funniest things around here – the Man Up logo and the Hypnotoad – were made by Randy.

End of line.
