I'm going to go ahead and challenge this guy's bigness.

[metirish]

Yeah I figured it was a stretch me calling him a big shot.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

If only to get my two loves together at once:

[Guest AG/DC]

Great work and congratulations.

Do you get out to Shea often?

I don�t have season tickets but I go maybe once a week or once every two weeks while they�re at home.

Poseur. Rogers shows up while they're away.

Just a few typos I spotted, if you care: You have "coupe" where you mean "couple." Also, in the last paragraph, you have "I had tickets for the first round of the playoffs and he was arguing to he should get them." You probably want that in place of to. And you might want to set "what can you do" in quotes with a queston mark.

If you published this two days ago, Gomez's stock would have been so high that he would have brought Santana all by himself.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Just fixing them typos now.

[metirish]

That's great stuff...........you would never get an answer like this here...

] What are your thoughts on the uniform? Black is my favorite uniform. I actually own a black Jose Reyes jersey. I can see why some Met fans don�t like the fact that black isn�t a traditional Mets color. But being a fashion girl, I like what looks good. I don�t think there�s anyone in New York fashion world that does not like black. I like the way it tones down the blue and the orange. I know it�s not traditional, but it looks good.

[Guest AG/DC]

Met Fairy would give an answer like that.

She's right, of course, but a cooler chick would defy the opinion of the New York fashion world.

Her fashion conservatism is more damning than the baseball conservatism she's forsaking.

[Willets Point]

You probably never guessed that starting a Mets website would get you the opportunity to talk with 21-year old fashion models. You must have had a boner through the whole interview.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Fantastic interview, man. Love that show, too. I think her admitting she loves the black even though deep down she knows it really sucks made her all the more cool. And her jewelry answer was dynamite.

The coolest chicks choose what they like, regardless of public opinion. I choose the black because I like it best, dammit!

[Guest AG/DC]

Yeah, I'm speaking about her in the last two paragraphs. She's explicitly caving with the crowd.

[Guest themetfairy]

So that means I'm cooler than she is

I think that goes without saying, you put up with us lot which is not easy.

[Guest themetfairy]

LOL - Thanks Irish

Best endorsement of the young lady's answer that I can think of.

[Guest themetfairy]

Thanks

]Did you see Reyes and Wright in one of those magazines? I thought they looked a little dorky. Yes! That�s why I could never say David Wright. He�s too dorky.

truer words have never been spoken. david wright - uber-dork.

like an athletic, baseball playing steve carell.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Rock.

[soupcan]

Funny.

]You have a great way of saying anything. Where did you learn that? I don't know. It's a mild form of Tourette's. I remember about a year and a half ago, I went to a Mets game. I was talking to Willie Randolph. The lineup is being made. I look at the lineup. I see Moises Alou and Shawn Green. I say, "What is this, the '89 All-Star game?'

[metsmarathon]

moises alou debuted in late july, 1990. shawn green, late september, 1993.

'98 would've been a more accurate reference.

[Willets Point]

Hank Zipzer the star character in a series of books by Henry Winkler about a boy with learning disabilities loves the Mets. Bet his favorite player is Fonzie.

What color crayon is Henry Winkler writing his books in, I wonder?

[Guest AG/DC]

Winkler is awesome.

[Gwreck]

They were both there as part of Autism Awareness Day this Saturday but also apparently Mets fans:

Tommy Hilfiger threw out the first pitch, and The Smithereens performed two songs pre-game.

[Guest AG/DC]

Had to love Autism Awareness Guy arguing with Gary Cohen about the effectiveness of the bunt strategy.

[Gwreck]

Annika Sorenstam.

Threw out the first pitch tonight, wearing an "Annika 59" pinstripe jersey.

[Frayed Knot]

I suspect that's in reference to the 59 she shot once during a round - something that's only been done a handful of times (like 3 or 4) by either men or women in tournament play.

[Guest AG/DC]

She's retiring at 37.

I say, these kids are turning on its ear the old paradigm --- when you're done winning tournaments after 40 but you play on for 30 years with class and nostalgia bringing you sponsorships fees that dwarf anything you ever earned in prize money.

[A Boy Named Seo]

A couple of MLBS's at the Dodger/Met games.

Swank showed up again this year. Pizza looks good.
