Mets Lucky Pinstripes win again!

I’m glad that the manager established that uniforms are the primary instrument that cause the Mets to win or lose.  I would have thought it was Jason Bay playing LF as opposed to basically me playing left, but I’m not going to argue with TC.

With a two game winning streak in the traditional blue pinstripes (well except for that pesky dropshadow) will the Mets mess with their look just to match the civilians in their black Seinfeld caps tonight?

I’m heading to the game and looking forward to it.  I haven’t been out to Citi in almost a month, and I am dragging Mets Police Mom along.  She’ll probably wear her Stars and Stripes jersey which she loves.

I see the story about the former 1986 Mets player and as I have said in the past, I try to avoid that stuff when I can.  It’s all just sad.  I’d rather focus on folks like Edgardo Alfonzo and John Franco who were at the game last night.

As for me, I have to suit up (haven’t picked the jersey of the day yet), stop off at the Unnamed Donuts Chain (Mets Police powered by Unnamed Donuts Chain would be a great sponsor), and then go do some athletics and chores.  I have some posts lined up and I’ll see you at Citi.

I just decided to go pinstriped Mazzilli.   The Mets are 1-0 when I attend games in a Lee Mazzilli jersey.  Support the pins.

@MLBJoe is in section 302

our buddy @jerielzuniga took this in “LF Reserve” (not sure what he means but I have a few adult beverages after work)

and this one around 9:30

Random thoughts:

Fred should appreciate traditional uniforms given that the Dodgers have worn more or less the same thing for 50+ years

Howie is awesome.  The way he calls a game you kind of know the result before it happens.  His intonation tips you as to whether a ball will be caught or not…unlike some Hight and Far fools.

With a winning streak on the line, the Mets returned to their lucky uniforms


By the way it took me 20 minutes tom wrestle control of the Slingbox from my kids who were watching this crap at home:

Video of the infamous 1986 Mets-Reds fight!

Youtube is awesome today!

Kids, you’ve heard the tale of the rough and tumble gritty 1986 New York Mets and manly men like Ray Knight.

One night there was this fight and before the night was over Gary Carter was at third, and Roger McDowell and Jesse Orosco were taking turns in the outfield and the mound.

Whatever was in the air that night, almost every Mets fan I know was watching TV that night…and today Youtube provides us with video of the fight. Awesome.
