Matt Harvey Wants To Start The All-Star Game...In The Nude

While it's no surprise that Matt Harvey wants to be the starting pitcher for the National League at the All-Star Game at Citi Field on Tuesday, the Mets ace raised some eyebrows while talking to reporters before the team's game against the Pirates on Saturday night.  Harvey, of body issue fame, stated his desire to pitch the game in the nude.

"This whole body issue thing has opened a lot of new doors for me.", said Harvey. "Starting the All-Star game is great and everything, but if I go out there naked I'll make history."

Harvey believes that he can provide the big moment that the Citi Field faithful are waiting for.

"The no-hitter was nice, but people will be telling their kids about the night they went to Citi and saw a Mets pitcher take the mound with his junk hanging out forever."

Foreigner and Nas Among Those Headlining 2013 Mets Summer Concert Series

Summer's nearly here, baseball is getting into full swing, and the Mets are bringing live music to Citi Field to start the summer right! Last year the Mets held their first summer concert series, where bands such as REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, and MercyMe followed Mets games. It was a great success for the Mets, so they're doing it again this year with bigger and better musical acts.

Foreigner, one of the biggest selling rock bands of all time (80 million records) is leading off the Mets 2013 summer concert series on Friday, June 14th, immediately after the Mets vs. Cubs match-up. They remain a huge draw worldwide, known for classic songs such as “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Hot Blooded,” “ Cold As Ice,” and "Jukebox Hero."

Checkmate: How The Mets Used The All-Star Game To Slip A Price Increase Past Plan Holders

As the holiday season approaches it serves as a reminder that the 2013 baseball season is only a few months away. That's right, another season of the whirling dervish of uncertainty that is Mets baseball is hurtling towards us and if you're a glutton for punishment like me this means it's time for me to get pissed about my ticket plan.

If you're a Mets 15-game plan holder like me you probably received an email this week laying out the renewal process. If you opened this email you no doubt noticed the prices have gone up. Let's do some math, shall we?

2013 Mets All-Star Game Logo?

Shannon over at MetsPolice posted some pictures tweeted earlier today by @twelve_twenty. The pictures seem to show an All-Star Game logo being assembled at Citi Field. Shannon speculates that the two pieces are halves of a whole logo.  I decided to take a quick shot at assembling the image and came up with this:
