In fact, you can take Satin over Q, Turner or Tejada. SOMEONE needs to be able to hit on the bench.

Wish we could have been there. Anyone wind up with an extra one of the Piazza shirts they're willing to toss in the mail to me?

How is this guy a Mets fan? This whole thing reads MFYs. http://happyplace.someecards.com/26552/this-guy-would-love-to-date-you-as-long-as-you-fulfill-his-1000-criteria

It's a parody video of a Hunter Pence-sponsored baseball camp where you learn to play like Hunter; that is, with zero coordination of your limbs.

Hunter Pence: really likable dude. Go figure. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/video/si-video/20130926/hunters-hitters-youth-baseball-camp.sportsillustrated/#

I want to take this thread out behind the middle school bleachers and get it pregnant. An all-time classic.

Go to fan assistance booth off Shea Bridge when you get there and your daughter will receive a nice souvenir, probably the 7th inning (or they can mail it to her if sleepy time kicks in). I actually tweeted about her first game a while ago and @mets hit me back with a suggestion to do just that. (Probably not going to make it to the 7th.)

Bringing the kiddoes tomorrow night. My daughter's first game; my son's been to a handful. Wishing there was a giveaway of some kind, but there isn't, which means we've got to spend money in the team store. Blargh.

I feel like the Yankees play the Red Sox and Blue Jays every series. Do they ever play other teams? (Outside of their annual thrashing of the Twins?)

Harv just apologized on Twitter.

Holy crap, that was terrible. Someone steered him very wrongly there.

Love Todd Helton. One of my favorite non-Mets of all time. Great player. Not a HOFer.

You have giant, open spaces there. Fill 'em with blue and orange panels. DONE.

He would have an office next to mine and authority to roam the stadium and order changes to anything and everything, except for the fridge of Diet Coke in my office, my lone act of rebellion. G, what would you do, assuming you accepted my job offer? (Pay is somewhere between David Wright and Juan Lagares, closer to Lagares.) You didn't ask me but I got lotsa ideas. Here's one: I'd put up an installation with one Topps baseball card for every single Met ever. The cards would be organized alphabetically by the last name of each Met, and would be reorganized every time there would be additions to the exhibit. For the Randy Bobbs and Billy Cowans and Dave Schnecks and Bob Friends etc., who never got a Mets card, I'd pay Topps to go into their photo archives so that they could create cards for this installation. Every Met would be on that wall. Dream come true. I would LOVE Topps to do a "career" series with the Mets -- all the players whose Mets debut was in 1962 on 1962 cards, then any new players in 1963 on 63s, and so forth. Then you could sell the update each year with all the Aaron Harangs and Sean Henns every year.

Imagine being proud of the Wilpons. Contracts may be what they are. If the Mets wore those hats, there is nothing anyone could do about it. And eventually no one would give it a second thought. And separately that^ ABSOLUTELY on both counts.

Kong76 wrote: Just one annoying thing after another with this fucking lot. I don't care if they're on WFAN or not, I just care if I can hear them when I want to hear them. But Kase's point is it for me. It's the hats, the Dodgers fellation, everything. This is an organization that literally can't seem to do anything right, ever. They signed David Wright, but everything else in the last several years has been a complete shitshow.

Centerfield wrote: Fuck the Mets for not wearing the city agency hats anyway. Speaking to JCL's post in the FAN thread, there are so many things the Wilpons fucked up, but this city agency hat thing is the biggest fuckup of all. A real tradition was created. Something we Mets fans actually felt proud about, and they lacked the balls to stand up for it. Fuck the Wilpons. Fuck the manager too, for not understanding the history and insisting his players wear these hats. And fuck the players for not picking up on what Todd Zeile said and wearing the hats anyway. This, yet again. I feel like we say this every year. I get tired of this whole organization giving off a "we don't really give a crap" vibe.

Ooh, horizontal '65s look weird. Don't know if I like.

Houston's not inter--- oh, wait. Right.
