On this evening's episode of How I Met Your Mother, Ted reads a newspaper headline that says, "Mets Mathematically Eliminated."

Was that a repeat from May?

On Raising Hope last Friday (a series Sandy Alderson clearly wants nothing to do with), a character who is making a viral video in which different kinds of fruit represent different famous athletes needs to come up with the name of a baseball player that he can use to turn into a Strawberry-related pun...and after thinking long and hard about it lands on "Strawberry Bonds".

The second annual Oscar's Caps, FAFIF's recognition of Mets pop culture sightings from the year just about gone by, both contemporary and vintage. (Much of it tracked in this here thread.)

I had to view the Godzilla cartoon and see how they treated Shea. Not bad, could be worse. I won't bust em for the scoreboard placement and whatnot cause it is Shea, and they call it that. And the dialogue near the end about how the Mets suck (that's why the guy dreamed up a monster to attack Shea, cuz the Mets sucked, lol. He was a fan.) makes it a classic.

In this shot the stadium looks most like Shea.

These? Not so much.

The back of the scoreboard looks close enough. They both knew better than to destroy the scoreboard. That's respect.

And then they take it outside and mess with my favorite rendition of our globe on the globe, the Unisphere!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He broke it. gah!


You can't throw anything at Godzilla. He'll turn it into a global weapon of dream creature destruction!

Episode on youtube has the wrong name. It's listed under the ep Leviathan.

Gotta make the list. Unless these appearances are all supposed to be in the past.

I would have loved to adapt the unisphere --- or a reasonable facsimile --- into the nu ballpark's design.
