New York Mets photo day (blue caps)

One of the best resources for Mets news is Brian Costa in the Ledger…he covered photo day in this article. The good news is that the team wore blue caps with the white pinless (now primary) uniform.  The bad news is that they wore the same thing for photo day 2009 (why wear an alternate in a team photo? nitpick) but that doesn’t stop Charlie Samuels from dressing them like clowns.

I encourage you to follow Brian on twitter and of course follow metspolice

Now I have to get myself up to speed on the Reyes story.  I don’t like waking up to the words Mets and FBI.

New York Mets tickets presale for Stubhub customers on Tuesday (no Subway Series)

Wow, this is interesting.  A pre-sale for people who bought tickets on Stubhub.

I may disappoint some of you but I’m not going to post the password on this site.  I don’t think that’s a cool thing to do – it’s unfair to the people who actually earned the presale, and I don’t want to give the Mets the middle finger.  I think the Fonz would give me a thumbs down if I did that.    I will tell you that it is common knowledge that in 2009 the presales used the last names of star players.

Citi Field: The Mets’ New World-Class Ballpark: A Ballpark Pop-up Book

This book exists.  Dan saw it at Barnes & Noble for $25, but Amazon has it discounted for $19.  I’m not going to make fun of it.  That’s why we have the comments section.

Citi Field: The Mets’ New World-Class Ballpark: A Ballpark Pop-up Book

What’s interesting, is the Amazon image (right) seems to have been retitled.  On the left is the version Dan saw at B&N.  Perhaps the stadium isn’t considered “new” any more.  Yeah, that must be it.
