METS = Krusty The Clown

While, scanning the great site mentionedin my previous post (Barstool Sports), I came across an interesting read, linking each MLB team to a Simpsons character.Read the Mets' one:

New York Mets - Krusty the Klown - Close ties to Judaism. Ongoing love-hate relationship with their audiences, and they have a tendency to lend their names to bad products (Krusty Brand Non-Narkotik Kough Syrup, Jose Offerman). Have had some substance-abuse problems in the past that they would prefer to keep out of the public eye (chain-smoking, Darryl Strawberry/Doc Gooden).

Haha! Great!

Here is the rest of the article...

The Definitive MLB - Simpsons Analogy List

NON - METS: Candid Photos

This website (Barstool Sports) has a bunch of pics of athletes (mainly from the Boston area) out drinking with college girls. Ahhh to be a baseball player with all these gaping holes (can be interpeted in several ways) running around trying to get you to go back to their dorm with them.

I would be arrested like 2 or 3 times a week. But then again, that might just be my lack of self control. That or the alcohol.

It also has this great pic which, while funny, I disagree with. Lee Corso is not a penis. He is a great announcer/color man. Still a great pic is a great pic.

NON - METS: Arroyo's REAL Wife

OK, so that pic that I posted was not in fact, Arroyo's wife but instead was a girl that he allegedly cheated on his wife with. "Allegedly"? He would have to be retarded not to cheat on his wife with that girl. She looked like she could pout his hair in those cornrows without using her hands. I dont even know what that means.

Anyway, here is the real pic of his wife.

NON - METS : Arroyo's Wife/Tramp

Aside from what the post title says, I dont think Bronson Arroyo's wife is a tramp. I never even heard of her until tonight when I was looking for a pic online, I somehow came across this pic of Arroyo and his wife.

Is it me or does she look like the college tramp that hung around the football (err, baseball) players for her chance at a free ride?



Nice cleave though.

Cliff Would Have Made That Catch

I rarely criticize the Mets for normal mistakes than anyone can make. I hate boo-birds, as they forget that we as a fan base should SUPPORT the team, but I have to question Carlos Beltran on Jaque Jones' HR. I mean, how can anyone critique a player for not robbing a homerun? But still. He could have gotten to the fence quicker and he probably could have made the play.

Cliff would have.

OK, Cliff wouldn't have been on the warning track but you get the idea.

At least it wasnt Juan Pierre and his high sock stirrups trotting around the bases in a most unfasionable way.

Bob Murphy, Where Art Thou?

While I generally like the guys at SNY, especially when Ron Darling, Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen are all in the booth together, I wont hesitate to comment on errors that are made during the telecast.

After watching a Mets fan throw back the Aramis Ramirez homerun ball, Cohen incorrectly called the Mezzanine "the fourth deck" at Shea. Any fan worth his (or her) salt knows that the Mezz is the 3rd deck.

I really, really miss Bob Murphy, even when he was doing radio, I would routinely listen to the radio as I watched the game.

Down With Stirrups

What is up with the Cubbies' game style?

Greg Maddux takes the mound tonight and immediatly has to sit on the left side of the mound to tighten up his cleats and what do we see on his legs?

Stirrups!













Shit, man. Are we in 1978? Stirrups? Really? Stirrups should go the way of the doubleheader. Extinct. Just look at them. It's bad enough that he is wearing pants that would show his ankles had he not been wearing any socks, but then to have that hideous blue stripe in there as well, is just a bad idea. This has got to be the worst fasion statement in baseball, that is however until I saw his teammate. Juan Pierre got Maddux off the hook as worst dressed player out on the field tonight. Pierre actually has the lack of sense to wear high sock stirrups.


















What is that? It even brought critisism from the booth at SNY. You know you are doing wrong when Keith "Just For Men" Hernandez. Cubbies, do us all a favor and retire the stirrups for good. I, myself like the high socks but am just fine with regular pants as well.

NO STIRRUPS!

I dont consider myself to have any sort of fashion sense (I am a straight male, after all) so I might not know what looks good, but I know what looks retarded.

On a side not, I do like Hernandez in the booth, while rough around the edges, he knows his shit.

Welcome To MetsWit

Welcome Mets fans to MetsWit. A blog that is ideally going to consist of my obvervations/rants/raves/assumptions/expectations of the New York Metropolitans baseball team.

How did this start?

Basically, I started reading several good blogs about the Mets (MetsBlog, ChicksDigThePitchersDuel, MetsGrrl) and found myself commenting more and more on said blogs. I figured that I should do blog about the Mets, having started several blogs but losing interest in them quickly.

So here it is.

I hope you enjoy and add your own piece of this thing here by adding comments.
