Banner Day!

Sunday was Banner Day at Citi Field and of course The Apple was in the building to participate.  I decided to go against type and go with a loving tribute as opposed to my usual shtick. Here's the full banner...

Mets Brain-trust Holds Meeting About Ike, Also Enjoys The Free WiFi At Panera

On Thursday morning Mets GM Sandy Alderson called a meeting of his braintrust.  Attending were Jeff Wilpon, J.P. Ricciardi, Paul DePodesta, manager Terry Collins, and, of course, team mascot Mr. Met.  The meeting was held at a local Panera Bread because of the free WiFi and also J.P. really likes the mac and cheese there.

The Apple was allowed to sit in so here is a transcript of the meeting:

As Bad As "Somebody Left The Gate Open" Is, I Still Think This Is Worse...

Anyone else subjected to these nightmares during Mets games? There's like a whole series of these for various City Island restaurants.  Apparently, Horrible Commercials Inc. was having a sale in City Island.

Frank Francisco Truly Is "The Most Interesting Closer In The World"

Mets Closer Frank Francisco Starts Screaming Telegram Business

Everyone has someone in their life that they want to rip into for one reason or another.  Boss making you work late? Husband not taking out the trash? Neighbor's dog keeping you up?  Sure it would feel great to just have a meltdown and tear them a new one but that isn't always socially acceptable.  Fortunately, Mets "closer" Frank Francisco has the answer...let him yell at them for you.

MurphTracker 2012: A Very Special Mother's Day Update

Video: What It Would Look Like Had The Mets Simply Chose To End The Season After Sweeping The Phillies...

The Mets just swept the Phillies in Philly. It doesn't get any better than that. So, why are they going to continue playing games after this? Call me a cynic, but this could realistically end up being the high point of the season. So why not just walk away while you're on top? I'll even go one step further and say the credits should roll after the Davis 3-run shot, don't even show the actual ending to the game. Don't believe me? Watch this video of how the season could possibly end and tell me I'm not on to something...

Mets Fans: Take The David Wright Photoshop Challenge

Ok so when I logged on to Mets.com today to check on the Mets game I was greeted with this:

Now there are a number of things wrong with this picture but let's just focus on David.  Is that seriously the only photo they had or are intentionally trying to make Wright look stupid.  Regardless, the (Photoshop or MS Paintz for you Amazin' Avenue types) potential is astronomical.
