Lineup schmimeup, bring on those Braves!

[Edgy MD]

Braves coming with two lefties in the series, so we might see the first Mets start for John Mayberry as well as the team breaking the glass on Tejada 2015.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I get it. It's a "book."

Holy crap � a film poster featuring Ron Glass.

[Edgy MD]

Watching some highlights now.

Are they debuting some alternate cap here?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Caps looked pretty normal.
I think we broke or tied a consecutive books post today.

OE: zvon forgot his books

It's the new road hat, with grey/silver outlined in orange (to match the road blues).

[Guest d'Kong76]

Guess I need HHDTV, or new glasses.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

You didn't notice the grey "NY"?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Guess I need HHHDTV, and Rockin' Doc!

I don't necessarily do it by the books.

I like the caps. I thought it was a white NY like the old Giants caps (or Dodgers color scheme). I usually don't like changes like this, you have heard my stance on the orange brim, but I do like how those caps looked on TV. Might have to get me one. I haven't bought a Mets cap since that red,white & blue NY (on dark blue) one. Man, that feels like yesterday but it's a lot of years now.

[Edgy MD]

STANDARIZE THE UNI!

Obviously, being at today's game was a lot more fun than last night's game. Cold, of course but Harvey's heat kept us warm. Lots of Mets fans. One of the highlights was us serenading a departing Strasberg with "Harvey's Better!" A really good day to be at the game and, of course, a good day to be a Mets fan.

I just got around to watching this game. I haven't seen Harvey pitch in so long, I forgot how strong he is. Like an ox. His legs are like redwood trunks.

Here's an excerpt from Grantland's piece on Harvey's return in DC:

...Harvey, unlike so many young baseball stars, hasn�t surrendered his humanity in the pursuit of sport; he sees no reason to pretend not to enjoy being young, handsome, and famous all at once. It�s also that he is elevated by the obnoxious bicoastal American creation myth, in which all life originated on Manhattan Island, and God�s chosen people either remain there or migrate to Los Angeles, leaving what�s between as a wasteland not worth considering. And Harvey is one shining beacon of goodness in a Mets culture with massive reach that�s been corroded to its soul by forces so insidious that losing consistently doesn�t make the franchise�s list of most concerning issues. But beyond the media microscope and the Ten Plagues of Wilpon, it remains that in 2012 and 2013, Harvey achieved a level of success that was shocking on its own....

Harvey, as a powerful conquering jock, may exude some sex appeal, but take him out of context, I'd be slow to describe him as "handsome."
