Cora not happy with clubhouse laughter after another #Mets loss. Yells out, “A little respect please. They stuck it up our —!”
Cool New York Mets Sneakers
Tom let me know he has a picture of some really awesome Mets sneakers over on 408 to Center. Â I’d post it here but I observe Honor Among Bloggers so click here to see the pic.
I’d wear ’em. Â To a game. Â Not on a date.
I would love to get some basic blue Nikes with an orange swoosh.
The 1963 New York Mets Yearbook cover
Again, thanks to Angel for sharing his collection. Â I’ll post one a day until we reach the end.
Note Mr. Met wears a cap with an orange bill.
Brian owns these Mets jerseys: Tom Glavine
Second in a five part journey through the uglier regions of Brian’s closet. Â Today, the Cylon section. Â Remember, if you can’t beat ’em, hire ’em. Â Here’s Brian:
Glavine
This one drives me nuts! Mostly because it just pisses me off to have it in my closet. It’s like a Yankees fan owning a Kevin Brown jersey. In the biggest of spots, with the 2007 season in the balance, Glavine threw up a clunker and changed Mets history forever. But if you flash back to 2003, Glavine being wooed away from the Braves and convinced to sign in New York instead of Philadelphia was a major coup! Imagine if he has inked with the Phillies…
Meaningful games in August
Maybe it was ingrained in me in the 70’s but these west coast swings scare me. My team disappears from my consciousness for two weeks and then ones bak dead.
I haven’t seen much baseball since the break but I can read a boxscore.
I’ve really enjoyed this season but I hope there is still a season to enjoy come August.
As for Ollie, here’s how I would use him. Â Say I found myself down 6 in the second inning. Â I would hand Ollie the ball – and let Ollie know that even if the score is 34-2 that nobody is coming to get him. Â Ever.
What’s really scary is that folks are saying “oh good, Dickey pithes tonight.” Â How did the season get to that point. Â I know he’s been good, but Omar isn’t that smart. Â The wheels are going to come off RA’s magical season sooner or later – otherwise I would be wise to buy the movie rights and sell them to Disney.
Dickey, Niese and Takahashi to save the season. Â Let’s Go Mets.
