Keep wonderin', Duke. And then whoever wins your little
play-in round gets the honor of getting pummeled by the '86
Mets. Now send some of that fondue to my table.

[stevejrogers]

Don’t worry Straw, I’ve got something cooking!

[Edgy MD]

NO ONE HERE CAN BEAT ME AT PING-PONG!!

[stevejrogers]

Didn’t you already bring the cigars Carlos?

[Edgy MD]

Oh, Jeromy! Anybody who had to
wear that stupid swoosh on his chest
has my sympathy!

You never shut up about that stupid swoosh back in the day,
Jeff, and I'm not particularly thrilled to be in a club with you
again today.

Technically I’m not a fully fledged member of this room, but I am one of the bouncers of the Club overall! Right now I have John Fucking Sterling in my head...UGH! April can’t get here soon enough!



Oh, sorry to hear that Rajah. Don’t worry, I should get my pass vaildated by at the latest, September.

[stevejrogers]

That’s great to hear, and can’t wait for that Jay! This club is getting too crowded that hardly anyone comes here anymore! Speaking of which, 4 more guys are supposed to be in this room!

[Edgy MD]

Bump me! I beat Delgado at ping-pong!

OK, I tied him!

Well I scored a few points anyhow!

[stevejrogers]

I guess no one else wants to play along?



That’s what it looks like!



That’s alright, this is still a cool club! Mets who have hit 300 or more career homeruns!

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, guys! You didn't play along with
the 300 Homers Club!


I guess they won't be breaking down the door to get
into our club!


Oh, man! They let YOU in?!


SHUT UP! There aren't too many of us!


Yeah, if somebody can find our fourth
and final member, we'll have enough
for bridge!

[stevejrogers]

One is the loneliest number, Dog!

[Edgy MD]

LJ it is! The fourth of four members
of our exclusive Yankees/Mets/White
Sox/Cubs Club!

We can go to our meetings in one car!

[stevejrogers]

YES! I FOUND A CLUB WITH A LOT OF METS IN IT!



Take it easy there buddy, there is a long way to go to the top of the food chain here.



Ugh! I was this close to getting in here!



Sorry man, I'm one of the bouncers at the gate, we should have our 150th member in the club, and more, very early next year though.



Would you guys down there pipe down, I'm trying to figure out if I'll be able to be in the Platinum Room here by the end of the decade! Anyway, there are 18 guys not represented here!

The captions are so funny and I'm so busy saving the fantastic images (the high quality ones anyways) to my Met photo library that I don't even bother to guess. I want this one to go on for awhile!

Here's a colorized Charlie Smith. Sorry about the watermark. Just crop out his head.




When I was a kid my family didn't have a color TV until I graduated from 8th grade. And I was harping for so many years for one (since the '66 Batman TV show hit the screens) that my folks got me a small tiny color set for my bedroom . They got it for just me!!! (we got a big console/stereo one for the living room a short time later).

I'll never forget when I watched my first baseball game on it. Of course it was the Mets on WOR-TV! The green was so beautifully green, the dirt so wonderfully tannish, the Mets blue so royally blue, and the interlocking NY on the Mets caps danced around like a little orange flame when they were in motion.

Same when I attended my first Mets game. When I walked from the tunnel (not my very first game, my father took me to a Yankee game for a firemans outting- Godawful lighting and I got the seat behind a girder. Gah!) I was just in awe. The Skankee game was a night game, and I remember seeing Gates Brown ( I was collecting baseball cards by this age-10, I guess) from the limited view I had of the field. And Norm IforgetHisLastName (On preview: CASH!).

But the Mets game at Shea was a beautiful bright vividly sunny day, and when I emerged from the dark tunnel, I could swear on a stack of bibles, that the Mets caps had a little orange flame on them! I will never forget this. Never.

Anyways, not having a color TV until I was a newly fresh teen has heavily influenced my love and need for color. Not that I don't appreciate B&W photos, especially old ones circa 1920-1950. But I'll even look at them and think:"I wish that was in color"....


Me thinks Big Al has influenced my writing. Don't worry, it'll pass.

O'Neill says this belt makes me look fatter than a first pitch changeup.

[stevejrogers]

Yeah Mel, while your rep isn't the greatest around these parts, but you are in the right club.

Looking for another guy though in the same room as I am though.

[Zvon]

^WOW!
What a GREAT photo of Franco. Thank you for making that mine.

OE: That's so awesome I wanna draw that and I haven't drawn anything of note for over 20 years.

[stevejrogers]

I see all you writers who didn’t vote for me. Don’t make me sic my alpacas on your ass in the coming years!
Either way, John-Boy and K-Rod are the only members allowed in the 400 Room!
