Once upon a time, long ago, The Night Owl held a fun little contest where he cobbled together a ransom note-style message made up of different letters from various card fronts and your job was to match the letters with the card it was pulled from. Being a graphic designer who deals with fonts all […]

Turns out this last day of the season is so chock full of craziness, I almost don’t care that Mets are going out on a sour note and will end up with a losing record for the third year in a row. In case you missed it, one of the guys on this card went […]

So we’re down to it. 2 games remain in the 2011 Baseball Season. Obviously, the Mets as a team have been a lost cause for a while now, but damn if Jose Reyes isn’t keeping baseball fun. Last night Jose went 3 for 4 in the Mets loss to the Reds to boost his average […]

During yesterday’s extra-inning, rain delayed game against the Marlins, Jose Reyes went 3 for 6 with a walk to propel himself back into the top spot in the National League in batting average over Ryan Braun. The day before, Jose had actually dropped into second place by 3 points, but thanks to his 3 hits […]

So, September is upon us. This weekend is Labor Day already. We all know what that means. Even though there’s officially still 19 days left of the summer, it’s over. This is the last hoorah. For the Mets, that means 27 games left to play, and considering that they’re 22 games behind in the N.L. […]

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 […]

So Hurricane Irene has come and gone and hopefully everyone who was in its path made it through safely. I personally was super lucky in that my house escaped 100% unscathed. I think the worse thing that happened was some of my garbage cans blew over, spilling grass clippings everywhere. Things in my corner of […]

The Mets are preparing to play to the Detroit Tigers in a few minutes. Jose Reyes will be at his usual spot leading off and playing short. Today is the 1,000th time he will be doing that as a Major Leaguer, all of which occurred while wearing a Mets uniform. Here’s to hoping for a […]

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 […]

Half a dozen more days. Starting at short stop for the ’86 squad, position #6 on your scorecard, was Rafael Santana. There seemed to be a lot of platooning on the 1986 Mets team, and short stop was one of the positions where that happened. Santana got the Opening Day start, though. Judging by his […]
