NYC’s New Archbishop Dolan Becomes Yankees Fan

From the Milwaukee Journal:

 

On New York, [Dolan] said, he was happy to know there was a hotdog cart stationed outside his offices and that he would now become a Yankees fan.

 

“You did not say that,” Egan laughed, after which Dolan later tipped his hat to the Mets.

He also said he and other Milwaukeeans were disappointed when Milwaukee Brewers pitcher

CC Sabathia signed with the New York Yankees last fall. “Now, well here I am, CC.”

 

 

 

If he’s a Brewers fan just be a Brewers fan.  People aren’t going to stop attending church because you like the Brewers. 

 

Just be honest, unlike certain phony ex-senators from New York – let me take that back, certain ex-senators who represented New York – who claimed to be big Yankee fans. 

 

I used to like when Rudy would stay a Yankee fan and not root for the Mets, but then he sold his soul when he rooted for the Bosox in the World Series.

First Game At Citi Field not a Mets game – Yeah We Told You That Last Week

Wow the mainstream media really needs to catch up.  I’m hearing from tons of Mets fans this morning that they are upset that the first game at C-Field will not be a Mets game.
 
Welcome to February 17th everyone – Mets Police talked about that a week ago!
 
Yes it’s stupid.   It also decreases any motivation I might have to go to the Friday night game vs. the Red Sox (I’ll put my efforts into checking out New New Yankee that night).   I have my opening day seats for the regular season, that will be fine.  I don’t need to give the Mets money to see Boston in the second ever event at C-Field.  Stupid.  Typical.
 
 
MLB.com is pushing this:
7. Mets Authentic Customized Home Jersey. It comes with the 2009 inaugural season patch to help usher in Citi Field. Choose any name and number to go on it, but the hot pick right now is “RODRIGUEZ” and “75.”
 
However as we also discussed that’s a lie.  You can’t get ANYTHING.  Try buying a Ramirez jersey.  Not that anyone named Ramirez is on the Mets or is going to be on the Mets…but maybe YOUR NAME is Ramirez and you want your own name on the back.   The message comes back:
 
Your current entry cannot be processed. Some entries are prohibited due to guidelines for past and present player names. Please create a new entry.
 
So I can be named Rodriguez but not Ramirez?
 
They are also pushing these which are kind of cool:
 
15. Red Sox Authentic 1918 Road Jersey. This is identical to the jersey Babe Ruth wore in that championship season, when he split time between the pitcher’s mound and the outfield. Mitchell & Ness has a pretty incredible 40th anniversary look for Johnny Bench, too.
 
If you have $109 you can buy this ugly ring.

Peace Offering To Wilpons

Dear Wilpons,

I propose a truce.

If you don’t wear the blue/black hats or the black jerseys, then I won’t make fun of the patches.   I’ll meet you halfway and allow the non-pinstriped home uniforms, but no black.

There’s no need to write back, just don’t wear the black.

Lunatic Manager Hands Murphy The LF Job – And I Love It

Jerry isn’t messing around!

Daniel Murphy will be the Mets every day left fielder.

What’s that you say?  This guy was basically promoted from Double-A last year and the Mets have yet to play even an inning of spring training?   Jerry doesn’t care what you think.

“I’ve seen it. I’m confident. The way he swings the bat I’m confident that he can handle that. I don’t have a problem with that.”


Since Manny Ramirez isn’t coming, this is a good thing.  I’d rather hope we get 15 years out of Murph in left rather than one year out of someone from the leftover pile like Tatis.

I love what a maniac Jerry is.   He’s wonderfully entertaining.   I kind of want to see him actually stab someone for not running out a ball.

What does everyone think of these jerseys?  If the Mets insist on incorporating black (and that they do) these aren’t bad.   I’m not crazy about the orange underarms, but they aren’t as hideous as the all black were.
