2010 New York Mets Batting Practice Caps

Thanks to NyPfdr for watching my back this morning and letting me know the new 2010 batting practice caps have been released.

This is a league wide thing so we can’t just kill the Mets on it.

Let’s for a second suggest that the black shouldn’t be on there. We may have something then that looks like this Giants cap (thanks Uni Watch)

We might wind up with a normal looking Mets cap with just some weird pop-up line thing on the brim.

I don’t totally hate it (if they insist on having black for some reason, and what is that reason again?) but I don’t get the brim.

Instead of piling on our poor beaten down Mets, lets focus our annoyance on the Yankee who have decided to have road…

…and home caps. You can see all the teams here, and be thankful you’re not an Orioles fan today.

Mets Yearbook: 1969 (Vintage edition)

Good morning. Seems quiet in Flushing, and today is supposed to be redesign day (redesign night actually) so once the coffee kicks in and I clear my daddy duties for the day, away we go.

My DVR tells me “Mets Yearbook 1976” is coming soon. That should be fun. In the meanintime, here’s some material from the films SNY is using to fuel Mets Yearbook. Let’s call this one “Mets Yearbook 1969.”

Osh41 did send me a ton of pictures from the Mets fans gathering, I will post those and Peter’s as soon as we move to the new place. As a reader, expect that at some point you come to the site this weekend and it looks different. Other than that, should be smooth sailing. I’m using a web design company called Minaya-Wilpon and supposedly they are the best.

A fun challenge from Amazin’ Avenue

I like Amazin’ Avenue, They do a great job, and are kind enough to link here. They busted my balls when I suggested Jose Reyes won’t be ready Opening Day (we’ll see…and I actually hope you guys are right and I’m exposed as a pessimistic dope) but here’s a good challenge via Amazin’ Avenue.

The Cyclones have designed a new logo. It is reminiscent of the Brooklyn Dodgers. I can’t wait to read Mets Police’s 20 post series in response to the lack of Met history.

Dan, my cohort in blogging and a big Cyclones fan is away this week, and I was planning on redesigning the blog this weekend…but it is a three day weekend, this seems like a fun challenge. I’m tempted to accept.

20, huh? Anyone want to help with some guest posts?

Tickets: comparing Big Apples and Oranges but…

I have no idea how Mets ticket sales are going (they still haven’t called Media Goon back, that’s the guy who wants to upgrade and spend more money) but here’s the Dodgers (a team that made the playoffs the past two seasons) talking about theirs:

The Dodgers sold 23,900 season tickets last year, club president Dennis Mannion said today. They have sold 20,700 so far this year, he said, with customers facing a Friday renewal deadline.

“My concern is the number of unpaid accounts that haven’t canceled,” Mannion said at baseball’s quarterly owners’ meetings in Phoenix.

Two photos of the Jets rally

Across from Radio City, there is a gathering of soon-to-be-disappointed people in green.

I tried to get a photo of the fireman dude but he disappeared. Props to one Chargers fan who is there!
