What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Maybe I have been living under a rock but I didn’t know this character existed..and the design seems strangely familiar.

Yesterday, we answered that Yes, Virginia there is an obstructed view and had some fun with the words of Dave Howard.
Here’s a look from that same area, and Ceetar suggests imagine sitting two seats to the left.

Didn’t see this when it came out on Thursday, but Bob Klapisch has a suggestion that is brutal, honest, and makes a whole lotta sense.
Wilpon should trade Santana.
I don’t want to steal his thunder – you can read the full article here – but essentially what Klapisch suggests is that the Mets should be honest and go into a real, honest rebuilding mode.
I love the idea. Streamline back to a bunch of young kids and mid level cheap players while actually building a farm system. It would take a few years and those would really be LEAN years. But would it be worse than what we have now?
Think of the glory years of the Mets – the late 60’s/early 70’s, and the mid-to-late 80’s. Two different periods in baseball yes, but what was similar? A core nucleus of home grown talent – either brought up all the way through the system or guys plucked from other team’s farm systems in exchange for some of our stars. (Remember we got Darling and Walt Terrel – who turned into HoJo – for Mazzilli)
Could it work? I think it could. But the Mets would have to be totally committed to the process. In addition, the way to win over this town – or at least the fans they have lost – would be to be more fan friendly. Roll back some prices. Re-introduce some of the old-time traditions like Banner Day, Family Day, and the Old Timers Game. Sure the quality of play on the field might suck for two to three years (again, worse than now?), but knowing that the team was taking its time and doing something with a sense of commitment – you’d win a lot of patience that way.
What do you think? If the Mets traded Santana and maybe 1 or 2 others, and stated they were committed to building from teh ground up, would you support them? Would it work?

As we all prepare for the snowpocalypse, it’s time to start our new Share Your Shots series. I thought it would be fun to check out each other’s Mets photos. Send yours to [email protected]
First up is Laura who says that this is from 9/25/08 and that the players came over to take batting practice on the dirt. Very cool.
Send over anything you’d like to share.
Coming up at 10 I see Dan has written an article….I’m distancing myself from this one. I don’t agree, but I’m not going to muzzle.
