Greetings from…the land without the Mets

I am in a faraway land where there are weeds growing on the outfield fence, and the pizza is weird but at least the caps are blue. (and there’s some “other team” in a horrible generic stadium where the pitcher doesn’t bat).

I can’t tell you how much it stinks to have no feel for this game tonight.

I can’t watch for sure, I cant even listen. I have to go out now and will be out until all hours of the night as I entertain clients (with adult beverages). I did that last night and didn’t even have the energy to see what was happening over here when I got in.

Tomorrow I will go undercover and see what these people do in their confines.

Thanks for sending stuff in. Let me know what happens in the Mets Police world of jerseys and honorable behavior. Media Goon is still in charge. Thanks kids!

As for the Ike Davis “jersey” – many say it’s a shirt. A black Ike t-shirt? Haven’t seen those in the wild. Have you?

You own this Mets jersey: Ike Davis

This one isn’t as awful as some of the other jerseys that i have posted but it is in dircet violation of Murphy’s Law which states: chill out and see if the guy is even on the team in Year 2 before dropping $100.  Oh, and it’s black.  Come on dude.

Thanks to Ceetar who takes blurry photos as well as I do.

The Yankee Hybrid

Ben sent me an email…

I am sitting in one of my favorite cafes. The front is open to the street. All of sudden one of the cafes workers come up from the cellar. A typical city thing. He is wearing a baseball cap. I see it mostly from behind. It is black. It has a blue button and I see the brim peaking around the side and it is blue. And a very familiar blue. Then he turns around and surprise of surprises, a white Yankee NY. I said to myself, “Now that’s a hybrid. An awful hybrid.” I wish I had my phone. I left it home charging. I would have loved to send it to you. Oh well. Perhaps next time.

I suspect this photo is it. If you ever wondered what Jeff Steinbrenner would be like…

Now Mets fans I have an idea.

LET’S BUY THESE!

We have been told the Mets wear hybrids because they sell. Then let’s get the Yankees to wear them. If they don’t we’ll prove that (a) it’s possible to sell caps without wearing them or (b) the Yankees sigh have more uniform integrity. I guess the other scenario is that the Yankees start wearing these, which would be a hoot and a holler anyway.

BUY THE YANKEE HYBRIDS!

Need YOUR help for the Subway Series

I need your help.

I’m out of town for the Subway Series.

I can still do the blog. I have plenty pre-written and can do current-topics and comments over my phone and have been doing that the past few days.

What I can’t do is “feel it.” If Howie rips the unis I won’t hear it. If Keith falls alseep I won’t see it. If people want to lynch McCarver I won’t be on Twitter to retweet (well maybe I will).

How you can help:

If you read the site every day you know what I write about. Many of you send in great articles every day.

Watch my back.  Be the guest host.

If something annoys you write it up and email it to me at [email protected]

It’s very easy for me to cut and paste and post.

Media Goon will mind the store in case Lee Mazzilli throws out the first pitch in a Yankee uniform.

I’m not dead or vacationing I just won’t be near Howie or SNY.  Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance, and this isn’t until the Yankee series. I’m on duty until then.

The Jason Bay Players Choice Mets jersey

Hey Jason, that t-shirt from last night didn’t really cut it…would you mind trying a little harder.  Maybe pretend the Mets are a hockey team and for some reason they wear red.  Like the Canadian flag.  Whatever…just we need a little more than an NY and your name on the back…
