Yep, Bobby Bonilla will get paid by the Mets until 2035

Sometimes I have to step back and remind myself that

a) not everyone reads all the crap I do

b) not everyone reads my dopey blog every day

and c) the site actually picks up new readers.

“News” broke today and I kind of ignored it all day, but enough people have sent it in that I figured I should post it.

Bobby Bonilla will be paid over one million dollars a year by the Mets from 2011-2035.

I guess that it financially made sense to defer it, but the future has arrived (it’s the gosh-darn 2010’s!  Where’s my robot?) and soon Bobby Bo will be making a million bucks again.

The Wall Street Journal went into some detail of the financials, and CBS Sports also covered it today.

It might make sense but as I gray, a piece of me will die every time I buy a ticket or a hot dog and think that Bobby will get a piece.

Now I’m really looking forward to the 2036 season…which will include nice blue uniforms with 50th anniversary of ’86 patches and a reunion featuring 70 year old Doc Gooden.  Unfortunately, the Mercury Mets will no longer be in Queens then.

Recommended civilian Mets attire for the July 4th weekend

I got the red white and blue cap at the ’47 shop at Citi Field for $18!   The price sticker says “Mets-Giants” which I thought was mighty interesting….may have to discuss that separately.    Anyway, it’s red white and blue and much nicer than the Stars & Stripes caps.

The Mets stores are also selling the Stars & Stripes jerseys ($99), which are also nicer than the caps.

If you pair the two up the colors don’t quite match, but you aren’t going to pick up girls in a Mets cap and jersey anyway so who cares.

Terence shall customize his Mets jersey with….

60% of you decided that Terence should get a Pelfrey jersey.

I like that “is Terence an idiot?” beat out Pagan and Feliciano.

Keep an eye on the Tumblr on the right of the main page, I’m sure I’ll be posting dumb Yankee jerseys.  “Chamberlain 62” jerseys with the name on the back scream poser.
