Los Mets?

[Frayed Knot]

I sold myself short in the early IGT, I had a two-game streak coming into today (phinal Philly game, lone Braves game) so now we/me are going for four.

All i saw was "Mets wearing blue"

[Ceetar]

Bonifacio, Infante, Morrison, Stanton, Dobbs, Lopez, Petersen, Hayes, Nolasco.

Reyes, Tejada, Wright, Duda, Pagan, Evans, Harris, Nickeas, Gee.

Son of a gun, they're indeed in blue -- no Los (with black caps, I think).

[G-Fafif]

More BP than Los Mets, actually.

Odd. I wasn't aware they were allowed to wear the BP jerseys in a game.

Mets: Total rebels.

It's like watching a game from Port St. Lucie in March.

Too bad it's only a few days prior to the roster expansion time, then it really would have a Spring Training feel.

I'm thinking there was some sort of incident with either the Black or Snow White unis.

Rebels just because?

[Guest themetfairy]

Gee showed some balls, bearing down after the Reyes error and bad call.

[Frayed Knot]

We're not exactly plastering the ball all over the park - even our few XBHs have been kind of cheesy - but the hits have been timely and the pitching good.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I see "Jos� Ceda" pitching for the Marlins, and I misread and think, "Hey, Jaime Cerda is still in the league."

Oh, that RBI single by Nickeas gets him off the interstate. That was one long exit.

[Frayed Knot]

I saw Ceda in the game and thought, that guy needs a license plate ... or a saddle.

Two wins!!!

[Guest themetfairy]

It's a sweep!

[Guest Edgy DC]

That's the game. Yay, Mets!

How many DH sweeps have they done at Citifield? Any before today?

April 27th, 2010 against the Dodgers. Santana and Takahashi get the wins.

Love the uniforms.

Saw a tweet from Rubin regarding the "other" Los Mets blue unis the Mets wore recently, something about they can't be officially added to the rotation until 2013.


found it

For the second time this season, the Mets are wearing blue uniforms. This time, though, it really is just their warm-up jersey. On Aug. 5, for Fiesta Latina, the Mets trotted out new blue uniforms (pictured above), which they likely will make part of their regular rotation in 2013. The Mets are not allowed to wear the new uniforms for two seasons because they must be submitted to Major League Baseball by May of the previous season to become official. (Full explanation here.) "These are our BP jerseys, which MLB permits the teams to wear in games," a team official said about the attire for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader (pictured left). "Just mixing it up a little bit."

some of you probably knew this, I didn't.
