Cool 50th Anniversary Mets Conference Scheduled!

Mike’s Mets says

On the eve of the historic Presidential Debate at my home institution, Hofstra University, I would like to announce officially that on November 3, 4, and 5, 2011, Hofstra University will host a conference commemorating the 50th anniversary of the New York Mets. The conference will be organized and co-chaired by me (Professor Dana Brand of the English Department) and by my colleague Professor Richard Puerzer of the Engineering Department.

The Mets deserve some attention: loving, intelligent, appreciative, and critical. Let’s give them some. If you have any ideas for what you would like to see at the conference, or if you would like to be involved in some way, please visit my blog at metsfanbook.com and leave a comment on the post announcing the conference, or e-mail me at [email protected]

The Dopey Football Picks Car Ad In The Post

You know that dopey football picks car ad that's in the Post every Friday? Yeah you do. The one that tries to be funny.

Stop.

Cut it out guys.

It's so lame week after week and it's obvious that the bald guy with the goatee wants attention even more than this absurd blog.

It's obvious that he's convinced the other guys to pool their money for a big car ad.

Yeah you got me talking about you after 15 years but guess what: I just put the Post down to write this and I have no idea what kind of car you guys sell.

Week after week and you've made zero impression on my brain.

While I'm killing car ads – there's another guy who advertises on the radio and his commercial is 100 TIMES LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE. I turn the station every time I hear it and guess what….

I can't think of what kind of car they sell either.

Mets Diss the Mets Police

I saw this headline….

New York Mets Bloggers tour pre-wrecking ball Shea Stadium

So I read further:

Nice video piece on the demolition of Shea Stadium by SNY Mets bloggers Ted Berg and Matt Cerrone. Amog the highlights: The seats are gone, there’s no outfield wall and someone has made off with the home run apple.

Just wondering…are people who work for SNY really “bloggers?”  I mean no disrespect to their work, and Mets Police will whore out for a paycheck in a second….but I don’t know that these guys are “bloggers.”   If David Wright has a blog is he a Mets “blogger.”

I don’t think so.

Anyway Mets, I’m kind of hurt we weren’t invited.

Shocking Video! Mr. Met Is Secretly Human Male!

If you dare watch this video (spoilers!) you will learn the truth that Mr. Met is a human male.

Long believed to be some sort of baseballoid, Mr. Met is in fact human.

Some of us were hoping that there was secretly a hot chick in the costume (don’t ask) but it’s not.

It’s a dude.

Why Fox Why?
