Thanks for the wheels, Fred!

We all give the Mets a good ribbing here and often for good reasons, but I would be remiss not to acknowledge they do some good too.

Last week as part of Lunchpail's after school program run by the local YMCA, he and bunch of his buds received a voucher for a free bicycle, courtesy of Bloomberg, the Mets and Bike New York.

Although I think this was intended for needier families we couldn't object, and will donate his current bike (gently used, but too small for him now anyway).

The bike is pretty fresh! We picked it up yesterday. Its a department-store type model and retails new for something like 200 Quintanillas. They also threw in a new helmet.

This is really cool.

But now I see it and think lil' Lunchpail is riding around on our cleanup hitter.

Yeah! Last year I ended posts with 'yeah, but we got Cuddyer.'
Next spring I'll be writing 'yeah, but l'pail got a bike!'

Let him enjoy his bike guilt free! Maybe Fred found a big wad of money in a winter coat pocket or something

[Guest d'Kong76]

Just playin', that is a sharp looking ride.
Fred pays people to find big wads of money in his coat pockets.

That's a nice gift indeed!
