A guy who can't afford an Alonso one for the same day!



The app would set pricing on demand, so



Hererra would be like, $25

Alonso might be $125



They wouldn't even need to be game-worn now that I think about it. Game-worn is like an escalator on standard pricing, a "premium" for-subscribers-only benefit.



Once this takes off we go to the Dell model where we rent-sell them before they even exist. Take over Stitches and they'll create on-demand, just-in-time inventory. Imagine for a moment that the Mets trade for Kris Bryant. Show up that night in a Mets' Kris Bryant jersey!

This totally addresses the reason so few of have a lot of jerseys-- they're too damn ethereal, too damn expensive and too damn inappropriate to take up room in your wardrobe. But with our new million-$$ rent-a-jersey program, a fan can get 5 Mets jerseys-- for the price of one--a different one-- the RIGHT one-- every night.



Jerry Koosman uni-retirement day coming up? Boom, here's your Jerry.

We could take over the whole world! Where's Robin Leach? Champagne wishes and caviar dreams!

Thank you very much for the assist on fixing the Lyons photo. That's the one I have!


Just use that "FIMG" button.

really..?! that shit is terrible.



::shudder::



god, that was a terrible shit afterwards. also, i did not like chili either.

Didn't really look like chili. I have a fool proof chili recipe I will post in another

thread once I can find it later.

I've had Skyline. It's like the White Castle of Cincy. I went there with friends after a Reds game.



I would not call it chili. It's like meat sauce you put on a hot dog. In fact, replace the hot dog with spaghetti and that's pretty much it.



Not saying I'm craving it. My wife wanted no part of it. But if I was at a game in Cincy with friends again, we'd go there.

1986 Mitchell & Ness Replica Mookie Home (XL)

1986 Really Good Bootleg Replica Keith Home (XL)

1988 Rawlings Replica Away (Kids' XL), kept around for nostalgic rubbing every now and again

2006 Authentic Home Black Wright (L)

2008 Authentic Johan Away (XL)



So, so many hats (including several of the usuals, an old royal Norfolk Tides adjustable, a solid red fitted Cyclones alternate, and two goofy wordmark "Dad hats"-- one in pale blue twill and the other in black corduroy-- that are my favorites of late).



Honestly, as with FingerFella up there, I don't wear many to games, unless its late-season/cool enough. Mostly, it's various Metly tees (mostly of the logo variety), or just blue-and-orange logoless stuff. (Kid's got some more recent shirseys of Jake, Thor, Wright, and HOF Piazza.)

I wouldn't wear a team jersey. But I do look covetously sometimes at the Ebbets Field Flannels historical jerseys and wonder if it's worth spending $200 on a Federal League 1914 St. Louis Terriers home jersey, or an 1895 Cleveland Spiders road jersey. Probably not. One thing I would definitely wear, if anyone made it and if I could justify the $500 it would probably cost, is one of those cardigans that players used to wear in the early twentieth century instead of jackets. Those were some beautiful sweaters.


I have been VERY tempted to pick up various Grays, Crawfords, Elefantes and Cangrejeros-- both their 1954s are like vintage Dodger jerseys minus the Dodger stink and plus embroidered fuggin' CRABS-- products from these folks.

I had Skyline Chili a few years ago. I've been jonesing for it ever since I Iearned about it -- from watching a Mets game. It turned out to be like the worst piece of crap franchise fast food I probably ever ate. Robert Plant once said that Cincinnati was the worst US city he'd ever toured. He said you'd be lucky to get a decent meal there after 10PM. Figures.

Trying to read a story on The Post website these days is really quite ad-nnoying.

It's a non-stop barrage of crap and you need to sift through it all to find the text.

Try the youtube video of Gary's call.

I'm nor sure what's more annoying in that video: the "chili" or the dumb host, but at least you get the video of Gary.

Here's a better video. It's the Mets feed only, without some dopey commentator and his dopey insights.

probably on par. I tend to like chili on noodles, and chili on french fries for that matter, but I could definitely see how a chain could make that badly. It's like thinking sandwiches are bad because you've only had the play dough they sell at Subway.
