5 Words to describe the Mets
The Mets survey asked folks to name five words that describe the Mets. I asked for your submissions. Here’s a few for starters:
George: frustrating, predictable, mismanaged, remote, depressing
RCR: Disgruntled, Underacheiving, Overpaid, Uninspired, Unorganized
however Maggie went the haiku* route (I know a haiku isn’t 5 words but whatever) with one..
Maggie: second-class citizens to the Yankees
Ouch.
Mags, let it go. The frontrunners will be back as soon as Sandy & Colactus clear out Omar’s payroll. Even if the Mets run off 25 straight titles we’ll still have to listen to Yankees fans.
Got five? Hit the comments…
Mr. Met…well just watch it (The Apple)
Wait for it…
Randy rules.

Another one of those videos that could destroy Major League Baseball if we shared it!

Did you ever wonder how often the word Mets appears in the history of books? Google has a new toy that lets you punch words in to see how often they appear.
To little surprise, the Mets didn’t start appearing until after 1960.
Here’s a different graph which shows 1960-2010.
What does it all mean? I have no idea except (a) the line goes up, (b) I killed 10 minutes at work and (c) we’re one post closer to Opening Day.

Oh, and no I didn’t solve the code tweaking to get rid of the black-shirts ads.
