Mets Through the Years: Left Field
September 25th, 2012 by slangon

Man, time is getting short. The Mets have 9 games to go and I’ve got 3 positions left to do. Fingers, don’t fail me now. In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the New York Mets, I’ve been looking at the primary players at each position throughout the teams history. We’ve already looked at the […]

Mets Through the Years: The All-Star(s), 1997
July 11th, 2012 by slangon

Well, I’m not quite sure how I feel about that game last night. Being a National League guy, I’m definitely psyched that they won in such decisive fashion and I’m happy to see that they’re putting together a streak of their own after losing to the A.L. for so many years in a row. I […]

Mets Through the Years: The All-Star(s), 1996
July 10th, 2012 by slangon

Well, the Game is probably going to start soon, so I think this will be my last post for today. I covered 22 years worth of Mets All-Stars today. I think I can handle the rest tomorrow. In 1996, there were 2 Mets on the N.L. All-Star roster. Both were first timers. Todd Hundley had […]

Back about a million years ago (or at least it seems that long ago to me) (seriously, it took me about 20 minutes of hitting “Older Posts” and scrolling down to find the post I was looking for), The Cardboard Junkie put out a call for all your blank pack searcher decoy thingies in exchange […]

A Random Trade with Paul
January 19th, 2012 by slangon

I recently completed a trade with fellow Mets fan and Jerseyite Paul from Paul’s Random Baseball Stuff. I always enjoy a good trade in general, but there’s something especially nice about pulling on off with another fan of your favorite team. If nothing else, it helps to clear out some of the massive piles of […]

Time to Address That Growing Pile of Manilla Envelopes
October 5th, 2011 by slangon

I don’t know about you, but I often seem to run into this problem. A manilla envelope shows up in my mailbox and I know that it means one thing: sweet, sweet cardboard. Sometimes, I have the time to crack that sucker open right then and there and see what’s in it, sometimes I don’t. […]
