"Kick A Wilpon" Promotion Leads To Second Straight Black Friday Trampling At Citi Field
Posted by
Unknown
Just like last year, the New York Mets hoped to boost sagging merchandise sales at their stadium shop by hosting a black Friday sale early this morning. Unfortunately for the Mets, the results were similar to last year's debacle, sending several fans to the hospital.

This Day In Mets History: 1621 - R.A. Dickey Creates The First Thanksgiving
Posted by
Unknown
On this day in 1621 R.A. Dickey brokered an uneasy peace between the Pilgrims and Native Americans. Though this peace would not last, many of the traditions celebrated at "The Great Dickey Feast" continue today. The holiday would later come to be known as "Thanksgiving".

Spot The Real Team Store Item Answer: Art Shamsky Bandages
Posted by
Unknown
Last Thursday I stopped by Citi Field to drop off some canned food to help the Wilpon Family have Thanksgiving dinner. (It's always important to remember the less fortunate at this time of year.) While I was there, I decided to check out what was going on in the Mets Team Store and that's where I saw these. Art Shamsky bandages. I couldn't believe these were real and apparently neither could you as 68% of you voting in this weekend's poll believed that a doctored photo of misprinted Mets beach chair was the real Citi Field Team Store item.

50th? 51st? All That Counts Is That They're Doing Something Right...Right?
Posted by
Unknown
No Mets activity, no matter how small, would be complete without at least a little controversy. In all the hubbub surrounding the teams 50th anniversary plans, there has been some talk over what anniversary this really is. The Mets say it's 50 while others say it's 51. So who's right? Can it be both?

I saw this in the Citi Field Team Store today. It appears Terry Collins is going to be so committed to the bunt in 2012 that he even had t-shirts printed up.

According to sources within the Mets ticket office, shortly after announcing their new ticket plans for 2012, the Mets were inundated with angry phone calls from plan holders cancelling their tickets. The reason: this year's plan involves too much damn work.

The Apple Uncovers Discontinued Mets Ice Cream Flavors
Posted by
Unknown
Novelty ice cream flavors are all the rage in sports these days. The Yankees, Phillies and Eagles all have flavors available in regional stores. Disgraced Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky even had a flavor named for him which was pulled from the school creamery when it became apparent that he was a jackass.
This made me curious as to whether any current or past Mets players had any ice cream flavors named after them, so I called around to the major ice cream companies. As it turns out there have been several failed ice cream flavors based on the Mets. Here are a few:

New York Giants Players Blame Lack Of Focus On Jose Reyes Rumors
Posted by
Unknown
Yesterday in San Francisco, the New York Giants were defeated by the 49ers 27-20 and while there is no shame in falling to the now 8-1 Niners, many Giants players feel that off-field distractions may have cost them the game. One distraction in particular: the rumor that Jose Reyes had signed with Miami.

Introducing The Jose Reyes Underwear Color Alert System
Posted by
Unknown
Are you like me? Do you wish you knew every ridiculous detail about Jose Reyes so that you can speculate wildly about what it could possibly mean about the shortstop's thought process? Of course you do. That's why The Apple has teamed up with the good folks at Hanes to bring you the Jose Reyes Underwear Color Alert System. Every day until something actually happens, I'll let you know what color underwear Jose Reyes is wearing that day (don't ask me how I find this out) and you guys can speculate in the comments section. The more ridiculous the better.
Today's color is Blue. Fire away...

Lost in the negotiations between Jose Reyes and the Mets is the emotional impact on the fans. Clearly this whole situation is tearing Rocky Balboa apart. Why would Reyes and the Mets intentionally do this to the Italian Stallion?

R.A. Dickey's Off-Season Workout
Posted by
Unknown
Now that The Apple has gained a small loyal following in the Mets blogosphere, new opportunities are beginning to open up for me. This past week, Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey invited me to come out to his secret training location in Russia and observe his workout. I was able to shoot some video. Enjoy!
The weird part is that I didn't add music to this. Dickey is just so awesome that this song simply plays from the heavens whenever R.A. works out. Fact.

Mets Eye Shorter Basepaths and Collision-Proof Fielding Zones In Next Round Of Citi Field Changes
Posted by
Unknown
On Monday October 31st the Mets made official their planned changes to the configuration of CitiField's outfield walls. They will be coming in, they will be getting lower, and they will become blue.
While this has caused some of the more mediocre pitchers on the staff to start looking for alternative careers it has put a toothy grin on the face of David Wright and Jason Bay, among others.
In general the reception this announcement has received has been so positive among depressed fans of the team that they have decided to take the next step in reconfiguring a ballpark that seems to be stacked against the home club.
We spoke to a high ranking club official who prefers to remain nameless but we'll call him Paul DePodesta.

Mets In Talks With The Apple About Sponsorship Deal For New Seating Area
Posted by
Unknown
So yesterday I was minding my own business trying to enjoy my Halloween when my Twitter started blowing up with messages that basically said, "The Mets took your ideas.", "Congrats on re-designing Citi Field." and the one that made me cringe "Thank you for getting us blue walls." Apparently, the Mets had announced new dimensions and people were congratulating me for some reason.
