The Mets in Popular Culture, 2017

[Guest themetfairy]

On The Daily Show tonight, in discussing a story where someone required one hundred and ten stitches, Trevor Noah commented, "Not even Mr. Met has one hundred and ten stitches!"

Jerry Seinfeld wears a METS EST ’62 warmup jacket while standing in front of his childhood home in the trailer for his 2017 Netflix sepcial, Jerry Before Seinfeld: Back On Stage. Presumably he wears it in the show as well.

That's cool! Hopefully that photo with all the hair is in there. Is the article online?

I'm not sure whether the article is online.

The hair photo is mentioned, but not shown.

[Guest 41Forever]

Here it it! That's a nice story. Thanks for sharing.

Yet another media member comes out strongly for Terry.

“I’ve been through nine managers since I’ve been here, and Terry Collins is by far, by far, the best to deal with.”

I feel like how well the media likes him is like a manager's 100th most valuable asset in terms of the team but probably #2 in terms of job security.

“The Mets at the Reds in Cincy, what’s the line?”
“Reds and one.”
“New York’s due. Who’s pitchin’ tomorrow, Seaver?”
“Tug.”
“Hmm, whaddaya think?”
“I don’t think. You want the action?”
“All right, all right. Gimme a hundred on the Metropolitans.”
—The Deuce pilot, 9/10/2017, James Franco as Frankie, laying action in Times Square, 1971

(Tug didn't start a game at Cincinnati in 1971, but that doesn't seem to be what the new HBO series is about.)

It seems, uh, very much about Tugs.

Oh snap.

[Lefty Specialist]

Not a good bet. The Mets were 4-8 against the Reds in 1971.

I watched that opening episode, and noted the Mets reference. But I couldn't make out the part of the dialogue that I highlighted above. It was unintelligible, (i.e. I didn't hear it so well).

Stumbled over a 2011 episode of Blue Bloods (for some reason). The main suspect's name? Darin Gorski.

Somebody buy this guy an MFY cap, please! This doesn't help us.

Noah Syndergaard appears on Impractical Jokers, Season 6, Episode 23 ("Take Me Out At The Ballgame"), debuted September 28, 2017, truTV. In it, he innocently signs baseballs and tosses them into the stands before a game (between the Mets and Reds on September 8), the gag being that one of the title characters keeps swooping in and grabbing them, annoying everybody in sight.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I can't stand those guys. I've never watched their show, but I've heard their cackling coming from the TV when others in my household have had it on.

I had never heard of it or them until I happened to be at the game where they were taping this bit and the Mets heralded their appearance repeatedly, plugging their upcoming gig at the Garden as well as their show.

Based on the clip I just watched on YouTube, Thor spent more time in their sketch than he did on the mound in his most recent start.

[Frayed Knot]

That inning or two gig they did with Howie & Josh that you're referencing certainly did nothing to get me to go running to their program.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert recently replaced MFYS III with Citi Field in its opening montage of NYC landmarks. Fair weather types they are not.

[Edgy MD]

That's great. Mets aside, they go from YSIII to MSG to the 42nd Street subway station, and it sort of leaves out the two Eastern boroughs.

The montage changes every so often. This is the director's cut of the original, but it features neither stadium so there must be outtakes too.

Oh, Sybil, you know the way Archie is. I mean, he says he hates everybody. President Carter. Mayor Beame. Walter Cronkite. Bella Abzug. Mr. Abzug. The Mets, the Jets, all the United Nations. And they don’t get upset, so why should you?

And Sybil, of course, is Sybil Gooley. She worked at Ferguson's Market, didn't she?

Yes, indeed.
