This is the fourth post in this series. We’ve looked at the field generals, the men who’ve donned the tools of ignorance, and the guys who’ve thrown the first pitch of the season. Today we’ll be taking a trip back through time to see who’s covered the first base bag for the Mets throughout their […]

And I’m not talking about the particularly crushing defeat of the Giants by the Packers last night. My beloved Jose Reyes, my favorite player on my favorite team, is now a former player of my favorite team. And to make matters worse, he is now a member of the team that I possibly hate the […]

Good Feelings
August 30th, 2011 by slangon
It’s not too often these days that I can actually feel pretty good about the Mets, but they did sweep the Marlins in a double header yesterday, and that’s put a smile on my face. And yes, I do understand that the Marlins are a team who’ve gone 4-19 over their last 23 games, but […]

I’m not sure if anyone has seen this post on Project 1962, but a while back Chris had approached me with a very novel custom card project. Last year, he was lucky enough to pull a Rogers Hornsby bat relic from a jumbo box of the Topps flagship set. If you don’t know, Chris bleed […]

Well, it’s Subway Series time. You know, I remember a time when I would actually be excited by this. Now, not so much. I’m a little over it. I guess you can thank the media hype-machine for that. In years past I would always be rooting like crazy for the Mets to win just for […]

2 more. I can’t hardly take it. Doning the tools of ignorance for the 1986 New York Mets is Hall of Famer Gary Edmund Carter. The 1986 season was the Kid’s 2nd year in Queens and he certainly lived up to any expectations Mets fans had when the team traded for him. He hit .255 […]

8 days to go. Starting in center field for the ’86 squad, position #8 on your scorecard, was The Dude. Although he was still splitting time with Mookie Wilson in center, Nails played the lions share of games at that position in 1986, and did so admirably, posting only 3 errors for a .990 fielding […]
