Damn it. They will walk Newy to get to the pitchers spot. And that'll be it for Matt. PLATE THAT RUN!

Well, Wrights having a decent afternoon. 1 run. 1 run guys. Score me one fuckin run.

Lets get some runs!!!! LETS GO METS! LETS GO!

I wanted to use this post for more about Willard but I came across this Mr Met coloring book. I've seen pages of this online. I was never sure if it was for real or a joke by someone. Because if this is real it might be the worst coloring book ever. This is the entire thing: Starts off weird. Mr Met does not do sarcasm. Really. Is that what we get from this scene? I suppose he could do slapstick. But not well. I can see the Colosseum. Where's Shea? Really. Road kill There are no quiet days at Shea. anymore *sob The artist might be psychic, predicting 1) a Met TV station 2) Jane Jetson and 3) Woody from Toy Story. Whats are those, grenade hats? Yea, lets steal someone elses slogan! WTF does he mean by that? Oh, that's the problem. m m m m m m m m m kay Some things never change. Ahhh, so he's the reason kids are do fat these days. I'd hate to see Bloomy ban him. lmao. aw come on, how did you get away with making this coloring book? Another Mr Met is introduced, but only to run into the other one. This is one horrendous wacky coloring book. This complete book is on Flickr and I believe it is an actual thing from the past (I didn't doctor any of these images). How did this ever see the light of day?

Rice on in the seventh.

When Willard got the job as Mr Met he became an overnight sensation. Extremely popular throughout the world, Metz was offered a job by Walt Disney to be Disney Lands' ambassador of baseball. He did not take the job, saying "I'm just a simple plumber from Smithtown whose head looks like a giant baseball. I am nothing special. Neither are the Mets. I belong here in New York with this team, Mr.Disney. I'm sorry, I have to regretfully decline." There was no internet in those days but widespread phone usage passed this legendary tale around the globe in a matter of months. It has been learned since that Walt Disney had big plans for Williard Metz, as shown here in a newly discovered architects model for the World Baseball Pavilion, which never came to be.

KaBOOM into deep center! That just kept on goin'.

Gee pwns Freese, and I better not regret saying that.

Saw this last night on BB2nite as it was going down. Puig got nicked in the nose. The fight was violent in little uncontrolled spurts. Not crazy violent but there was some punches and tussles. But if that was a brewhaha most of it was brew. That pitch up at Greinkes' head, that crosses any line involving traditional baseball behavior. Not even because it was up by his head, (tho as a teammate that location would get me up to throw a punch. That made it a million times worse) but because he was thrown at at all. That was over with the very well thrown and located retaliation pitch.

I was actually thinking he might go the entire time. Great call by Tuef. Now the question is; will these be our only runs of the night? I don't answer questions that depress me Tuefel was waving him all the way and Carlos was just going thru the motions. I really didn't think Dan would keep going until he rounded third and went into his higher low gear.

WOW! Murphy scores from first on a Duda single! Beltran caught snoozin!

Nice. Wright and Murphy with a couple of two out hits to get us on the board.

lol. He gets around. Thats a classic Ashie. This is Willard Metz very first day on the job, April 18th 1963. I did not doctor this image in any way.

Salute to IGT title

Gaudy yes, and damn them for incorporating the Mets logo into it cuz now I have to have one. The hats-the big round A&N things in the Met circle....it don't look good on a hat imo but, damn, I have to have that too. I am playing right into their hands.

lmao, this one could go on forever. I'll have to look through my extensive Met image files. I'm sure I must have some Mr Met pictures.

Thank you for the reminder. For some reason I want to think that was much longer ago.
