Enjoy the Mets before two weeks of late starts

I think we’re all enjoying this season of Ike and Niese and DW and Reyes and the Great Santana Debates and being Proud of Pelfrey.

I bring you bad news.

Next week: no Mets games on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thursday and Friday 10pm starts. 9pm on Saturday. 4pm on Sunday.

Thats an entire week of crappy start times.

It gets worse.

Three 9:40’s, two 10:10’s and two 4:10’s on the weekend.

To really make it annoying, an off day on the 26th.

I go to bed early, and I have a life on the weekend. It may be July 27th before I can enjoy a game after this weekend.

It’s hot. I’m heading home to savor a Mets game and enjoy future Hall of Famer Jon Niese off one of his 287 career wins. LGM!

Wednesday, July 7
vs. Cincinnati

Jose Reyes – SS
Angel Pagan – CF
David Wright – 3B
Ike Davis – 1B
Jason Bay – LF
Josh Thole – C
Jesus Feliciano – RF
Alex Cora – 2B
Jonathon Niese – LHP

The Mets jersey in the Yankee Museum!

Uh oh, someone go find Hank Steinbrenner!

There is a Mets jersey in the Yankees Museum at Fake New Yankee Stadium (that’s what FNYS is if you ever see me write FNYS on twitter).

How did it get there, and what is it? That’s Dan’s story to tell on 11th and Washington (Honor Among Bloggers) and he even has a picture.

This never would have happened when George was running the show.

Citi Field’s All Star Food

The excellent site Biz of Baseball summarized the cool foods that will be served at the All Star Game next week.

“Signature Menu Items by chefs from 12 Major League Cities” are featured.

I kinda couldn’t think of anything signature about the Mets.   A Shake Shack?

I checked the list expecting to see Crabs or some made up Rockies Something but no Mets.

Well, the Mets made it.  Any guesses?

It’s the Citi Field Twisted Sausage and Pepper Sandwich

Yep, that makes sense.  I mean, who has not gone to a Mets game and thought “I better get a twisted Sausage and Pepper Sandwich to go with my Rheingold.”   The Twisted Sausage and Pepper Sandwich is THE quintessential New York Mets snack.  All-Star indeed.

Biz of Baseball

Oh, I was MUCH happier last week sitting on my deck and blogging.  Buy some tickets off the stubhub ads or get Dunkin Donuts to buy an ad.  Imagine the alternate caps and Mets randomness I could bore you with if I weren’t stuck arguing with the lawyers all day.
