WFUV's Don McGee, disc jockey and noted NYM fan, noted the Jethro Tull references/jokes Gary Cohen got out of Ian Anderson's start for the Braves last week. And so in tribute to that and to

Keith following up by offering that BENEFIT was his favorite JT album, McGee played WITH YOU THERE TO HELP ME and TO CRY YOU A SONG off that album on his Saturday 'Mixed Bag' show.

Undercover NYPD cop part of arresting team taking down an MTA fare evader rocks a Jacob deGrom Mets jersey.



Click on link and then watch video of arrest and take-down. Met cop appears at about the eight second mark.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Season 8, Episode 8, "Renewal": Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) is without battery power in his phone because he used it "mining for MetsCoin. It's the first cryptocurrency that is also the Mets."

Between Curb and this video it's been a big month for Dylan O'Brien. However, I'm glad that the picture is a joke as I don't need the Mets connected to "Him" and "Jake Lyon" in anyone's mind.

It pretty much brings everything full circle when Mackie Shilstone counts Fred Flintstone among his client list.

Bizarre first episode of The Jerry Lewis Show from 1963.



It sort of predicts Letterman in that the show itself subverts the whole form, but nothing's really going right, or the audience isn't getting the idea that the sloppiness is part of the gimmick.



Beyond that, it's like 88% padding.



It's like the Letterman show was hosted by Andy Kaufman, and he didn't hire any writers, and made the whole premise of the show to see how long he can bullshit his way around not doing his homework before he gets wrestled off the stage.



Around 10:50 in, Jerry calls for the sponsor's product (L&M cigarettes) to be tossed to him, and he misses the catch badly. He bends over to pick them up and says, "I should play with the Mets."

See if you can pick out the real Sign Man — only one panelist could.
