Mr. Met ramp video (with ballcap car!)

Check out this one – which contains a ballcap car. Those of us of a certain age will recall that pitchers would come in from the bullpen in one of these cars. There was a Mets version, but also a custom version for each opponent! Presumably they swapped the top.

Mets’ Wright doesn’t like to give Philly fans too much credit

Fun quote.  More fun then calling a fanbase “stinking.”  (scroll down and look at the weekend posts)

“I don’t like to give Philly fans too much credit,” Mets third baseman David Wright said aftwerwards, “but they got this one right. It’s a proud moment to stand out there and you’ve got 45-50 thousand people chanting. That was pretty special.”

Mets’ Howie Rose on Bin Laden News

CBS with Howie’s reaction to the news breaking during the game.

“(I’m) still kind of spinning from what was an utterly surreal night on the air — and as well as off,” Rose told Marc Malusis after the game.
Rose and producer Chris Majkowski wanted to hold until the news became official. Mounting chants of “USA!” in the stands made it impossible.

I must have just missed it. I switched to the radio around 9:30 and kinda remember Howie shouting about Young’s 7 strong innings at which point I turned it off. I like my sleep. Stupid Sunday Night Baseball.

The Mets seem unimportant this morning

Good morning Mets fans,

I’m one of the many who woke up to the Bin Laden news and didn’t experience the emotional outbursts last night. Still, in my corner of the world everyone is abuzz as old emotions return.

I had some stuff scheduled for the day – a cool Bat Day memory, more Mr. Met video, and normally this morning article would be about Young, Paulino and how I don’t enjoy Sunday Night Baseball. None of that seems appropriate this morning.

That’s not to say that I might not fire off one of those in an hour or two, but right now a rant about the color of a shirt would be stupid.

Where’s your head at this morning?
