If I'd think anything, I'd think they were silly for Philly.

Where's Dairylea Night when it would come in handy?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nice one Monkee.

I approve of cereal bowl day. Great thing for kids and their parents and of course Jeff Wilpon, noted cereal eater.

The one that pissed me off was last year's irrelevant "Iron man" squeeze bottle day, which had nothing to do with the Mets at all. The whole thing was just a big dicksuck for Verizon promoting competitive entertainment and the Mets were all like, "Go right ahead, Verizon! You pay rent at that stupid kiosk behind the stupid bridge, totally OK with us!"

We need an act that's blushing for Flushing.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

After attending last year's Nas postgamer-- which was essentially a weed-wafting Up With Queens party-- I would gladly shell out the shekels for a postgame EPMD or Marley Marl/Kool G Rap/MC Shan show.

Surely they're full-grown Men by now.

Not quite. Hell, the Beach Boys aren't either and they've been around a lot longer.

[Ceetar]

I'm in.

Last year's apparently: http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/nym/ticketing/group_offers.jsp?group=zombies

How do they pick the player to highlight? is Wheeler inherently more of a zombie than other Mets players?

Also of note: Friday the 13th this year is also a full moon.
