OMG!: A new picture of Mettle the Mule

Oh my oh my oh my I am so excited I can hardly contain myself.  Under my “honor among bloggers” code it would not be right to post the picture here, but go check out THIS new picture of Mettle the Mule and then come back.

Ok, you’re back.  OH MY GOODNESS.   I knew about the Mule but how stupid does that look when you actually see it?  I followed the Mets back then, I don’t really remember the mule.  I do remember being bothered when Mr. Met Prime disappeared for several years.

Here’s the best part: I WANT THEM TO BRING THE MULE BACK!

I mean, what could possibly happen?  Would people make fun of the Mets?  Why stop now?

Actually, in politics they talk about changing the story.   Let everyone focus on the mule.  Let them make fun of the mule.  Distract the dopey fat blogger with the mule.  If we’re making mule jokes we aren’t talking about Madoff or the lack of starting pitching or collapses.  Get the mule, change the story.  So Francesca makes fun.  Who cares?

Get a mule, trot it out there before games and stick it in a petting zoo over by the dunk tank and the batting cage stuff in center.  How awesome would the mule be?

You ever take a kid to a game?  In the 4th inning “let’s go see the mule” is a great way to avoid being nagged “can we leave now?” during the 7th…and 8th….and 9th.

I’m so excited at this pic.

24 Hour Talk-a-Thon tomorrow to benefit Operation Homefront

From time to time you’ll hear me say that I like to use my blog for good….

For the second year, the biggest names in baseball and the fantasy baseball industry join together to raise money for a worthy cause: to help the families of soldiers protecting our nation overseas.

From 12 noon on Feb. 27 until Sunday, Feb. 28, 2010, Baseball Digest, FantasyPros911.com and BlogTalkRadio.com will join forces to host the second annual 24-Hour Talk-a-Thon.

The 24-Hour Talk-A-Thon will stream live at BlogTalkRadio :http://www.thefantasysportschannel.com/talkathon/

Last year’s show was an industry first, raising over $7,500 for Cystic Fibrosis. This year baseball writers and the fantasy baseball industry team up to help Operation Homefront. The Talk-a-Thon features guests from Major League Baseball, including Hall of Famers Robin Yount, as well as a host of current and former players, managers, coaches, scouts, radio personalities, and more.

Updated New York Mets Ticket Pre-sale Information

There’s a Mets Police superfan named Peter who should just start his own blog and put me out of business. Peter hooks me up left and right and I’m going to have to buy him a Shake or something at a game. Once again he delivered with a tip regarding the below.

As promised, here’s some more pre-sale information (shhhh don’t tell anyone, Mets presales are a secret and if the Mets don’t tell anyone the dopey blogger won’t find out):

– full season ticket holders have a presale at 10am on Sunday.   If you have a friend hit him up for a code.

– 15 game plan holders have a presale at 10am on Monday.  (The Subway Series is evidently not part of this, I have no information about the other presales as they apply to Subway Series, but I believe it’s probably the same situation).

– Club Mets members have a presale at 10am on Tuesday.

– the general public single game sales are Sunday March 7th at 10am.  This does not include the Subway Series.

If you did have a 15 game plan and logged in with your account you’d see something that looks like this (click to enlarge)

or the Mets can continue to pretend this information isn’t out there anyway. So silly Mets, so silly.

Please remember all this information is unofficial, possibly completely inaccurate and is fan-generated. I will leave it to you to decide how reliable Mets Police is.

My new blue Mets jersey has arrived

I don’t know if anyone else will care, but my blue Cooperstown Collection blue Mets jersey has arrived.  (You know you want one)

I got cocky and got the large instead of the XL.  If you see someone stuffed into one of these and you think that “that guy could stand to lose a few” it’s probably me.   Opening Day I will likely rock the “2000’s decade” pinstriped Mets Police #86.  It has black dropshadow…don’t yell at me, yell at Jeff Wilpon…plus it was a very nice gift from my cousin.

By the way, say the 2011 Mets wore something like this (in place of black alt’s), say with buttons – don’t you think they’d sell a few?  I’m here to help you Dave Howard.  Make some cash.  The guys who wanted black Franco jerseys already have them.
