Cool Citi Field model

 

Hey Shannon! Hope all is well.

Here’s a new piece of memorabilia that I just acquired from a gentleman by the name of Steve Wolf. What an awesome job by the artist! Although not an exact scale replica (and I didn’t expect it to be), I love the finished product of this light tower model! He does make these light towers pretty affordable ($275 to $350 range). He can also do entire stadiums or just sections of ballparks if desired:
Check out my photos!

Here’s the link to his website if interested

Pete, this is awesome!  I like how Steve captured the authenticity of the empty seats.



I know, I know, cheap shot.  But I had to.  One of you was going to.  You know you were.  Better it comes from me because the Mets know I love them.

Anyways – here’s some other pictures, click on any for a larger image.

Wright says right things and more Charliegate

I had a rough night and can barely function so I’m going to refer you to Adam Rubin’s awesome daily briefing.

Adam has some good quotes (via The Post) from David Wright who wants to be a lifer, good or bad.

Meanwhile there’s more Charlie Samuels investigating (via the News but Adam has the link). As I said yesterday, show of hands from everyone who thinks that story will end neat and clean.

I have to go find two coffees and my fastball for a pretty big meeting. Someone get Media Goon up in the bullpen to cover this stuff.

Plenty of stuff pre-loaded for the day, see y’all in a bit.

Mets Bowling! They have shirts!

Oooh look at this goodie in my inbox.

Seems that for week 2 Team Izzy got shirts…


But not to be outdone, Team Wright got their own shirts for week 3.


For those of you playing Fantasy Bowling, Izzy led week 2 with a 239 and David a 181.

In week 3, Bowl Mole tells me, “Izzy was still high scorer (after missing the first game) with a 225. David was second with a 218. During David’s game he threw six straight strikes and Ike Davis was talking in his ear as he was bowling to break the strike streak.”

Awesome. Sounds like fun!

This post makes me giddy and has snapped me out of the snarkfest I have been in, so I’m not even going to comment on the chosen colors (like) or what people print at home.

Next year I may have to book a Sunday stay-over and form Team Fat Guy down on lane 16.
