The back view.

It looks so sterile. Does anybody live there? Where are the books? And the bottle of Ajax next to the kitchen sink? And the tissues to blow your nose?

...and ticket prices to remain the same. Mets season ticket prices to remain same By Adam Rubin | ESPNNewYork.com NEW YORK -- The Mets have emailed their season ticket holders, telling them prices will remain the same as in 2012 and 2013. Season ticket holders who pay in full by Sept. 27 get to take batting practice at Citi Field, along with being eligible for a family or work holiday photo at the ballpark. Also, single-game tickets can be purchased at the season ticket price. The Mets had the carrot last offseason of hosting the All-Star Game. Now, that does not exist. And Matt Harvey faces the prospect of missing the 2014 season due to Tommy John surgery. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/post/_/id/77402/mets-season-ticket-prices-to-remain-same

"No, man. Seriously. Scotty was supposed to beam Kirk and Spock onto Quanzar 29 but messed up from all of those blueberry pies he was heaving. Scotty was drunkwalking like he was smoking the schwang and shit but anyway, instead Spock and Kirk end up in Shea Stadium right in the middle of the 9th inning and ol Casey, he doesn't notice anything wrong and so sends Kirk to pinch hit against Sandy Fuckin' Koufax. Besides, Kirk's ta-ta's are a lot firmer than Billy Cowan's. But Spock has like all the angles and trajectories calclulated in his Vulcan brain right down to the fraction of a fraction. Of a fraction. Of an inch. And figures that he should be pinch-hitting instead of Kirk....."

Off the top of my head, I don't know much about this Met and I'm not in the mood to google him, either. So I'll tell you what little I do know: He was a Met, a Toppless Met. But The Man From Topps yada yada yada you know the drill sees everything blah blah blah. The late Jay Kleven. Oh yeah. He died. I knew that too.

'Cause like Kevin McReynolds, you won't find this pitcher on Topps cardboard in a Padres uniform. For that, you'll need to seek out The Man From Topps. Bob Miller. Guy above I thought maybe Doug Rader but after google'n him to see, no. I said he was a pitcher. The Red Rooster manned the hot corner. I don't read I just look at the pictures. Oh. K, Ill read too. The Red Rooster,lol. Plus, Rader never played for the Mets. You wanna extend the format of this quiz to players who were never Mets?

But i still agree with Edgy, and stand by every word i wrote, and am proud I convinced LWFS of my position, too. In fact, I think I was eloquent as fuck. If not my finest CPF moment, it was among my favorites. Clusterfuck? I disagree. A lengthy debate about the nature of honor (or "honor", as some would have it) is a thread worth keeping and remembering. I agreed with everything you wrote about honor. I just think that you might as well still believe in Santa Claus to expect players to truly feel that way in that context and circumstance.
