The 12 Days Of Metsmas: A Crowdsourced Mets Christmas Carol

Christmas is almost here and that means it's time for Christmas Carols. This year I've decided to crowdsource a Mets Christmas carol. This is code for "too lazy to write it myself".  This year we're doing the 12 Days of Christmas, which is essentially the Christmas equivalent of "the wave". Sure it's tedious and repetitive but it just wouldn't be Christmas without it.

I'll get the ball rolling with the partridge in a pear tree (David Wright through 2020) and then you guys comment, email or tweet me your suggestions for the next days item (i.e. Ten Lords a leaping and such). Each day I'll animate my favorite suggestion and add it the list.

So here we go...

On the first day of Metsmas, my ballclub gave to me...

Are The Mets Sending The Fans A Message With This Year's Holiday Video?

He's 5-6. He's 6-10. Can two mismatched elves share a bullpen without driving each other crazy?

12 Days Of Metsmas: The Grinch

Day 2 brings us this Mets holiday classic.  Fire away with your plot ideas.  I promise I'll get to some more upbeat stuff on day 3.

12 Days Of Metsmas: Jingle All The Way

With the holiday season upon us, I thought I'd try something a little different.  For the next 12 days, I'll be photoshopping Mets personalities onto various holiday movie posters.  Your job is to hit the comments section and tell me what you think this movie would be about.  We kick things off with Jingle All The Way starring Fred & Jeff Wilpon.  Go!

Recycled Apples: Omar Minaya's Christmas Album

Mets Christmas Greeting Video Takes A Dark Turn

I'm not sure who the Mets hired to produce their virtual Christmas greeting this year but it gets a little dark for our tastes.  Watch Mr. Met go on a Christmas journey to destroy Citi Field below and then tell us what you think.
