The Daniel Murphy Opening Day Singalong: Together We Can Embarrass Our Second Baseman

If you know me, then you know I love me some good old fashioned nonsense. That's why when my buddy Darren at The 7 Line asked me to help spread the word about singing happy birthday to Daniel Murphy on Opening Day, I jumped at the chance.

Darren's plan is to spread the word through downloadable flyers and serenade the Mets second baseman during his first AB.

For all the details check out Darren's post here.

Join The Apple At McFaddens NYC Tonight For The 7 Line's Calendar Release Party

Do you like drinking?  Do you like pretty girls?  Do you like drinking with pretty girls?

If you answered yes to any of these questions than why not come down to McFaddens in NYC (NOT Citi Field) for The 7 Line's Girls of Blue and Orange calendar release party.  Several Mets bloggers will be in attendance as well as all 12 calendar girls.  If you're keeping score at home that's 12 more girls than are usually found when Mets bloggers get together.

The entire staff of The Apple (me) will be on hand and I'll be signing your laptops, smartphones or printouts of any of my articles. See you there.

While Jose Reyes latest trip to the DL comes as a disappointment to all, there is one Mets player who is enjoying an unintended benefit.  After being cast aside by fans for most of the year, Jason Bay has been thrust into the spotlight and so far he has responded with improved performance on the field.

Mets T-Shirt Maker At Center Of Sweatshop Investigation

Mets fan Darren Meenan has been in the news a lot this week.  The self made T-shirt magnate has made the media rounds this week discussing his T-shirt business, a campaign to keep Jose Reyes in NY and his recent dismissal from Citi Field.  While most of the attention has been positive, the Douglaston native may soon find himself in some very hot water with the Feds.

Breaking News: Free Darren Meenan!

According to our sources, longtime friend of the Apple Darren Meenan was dragged from Citi Field in shackles for having the audacity to put his URL on his sign.  Here at The Apple we have been on the phones trying to negotiate a safe return of Meenan to the blogging community but we are being met with a lot of resistance from the Mets.  Please help us by writing your local congressman and asking them to please help us get Darren home.  If that sounds like too much work you can also help by buying one of these.
