Have $20 Million Burning a Hole In Your Pocket?
Instead of buying 3 million Josh Labandeira bobbleheads (career .000/.000/.000 line in 14 at-bats with the Expos in 2004), why not become a part owner of the New York Mets. With your minor investment, you’ll gain:
“Access to Mr. Met, the team mascot, although the degree of access is not entirely spelled out. It definitely means you, as a part-owner, can schmooze with Mr. Met at Citi Field. It’s less clear whether you could get him to come to your child’s birthday party without a fee.”
It’s like an on-call escort, but one that doesn’t skirt the realms of illegality! Even better, as partial team owner, you’ll be given a business card that reads “Owner” in Cillian Rail type.

Attention Mets Fans
I’ll be traveling to your beautiful stadium for the first time in the near future and I’m looking for a few pointers. Where’s the best place to sit that doesn’t cost a few hundred dollars? What’s the best food to eat (other than Shake Shack hamburgers which I’ll be eating an abundance of)? Are there any quirky bars or shops that I just must visit located near the stadium?
Shoot me an email or drop one in the comments, if you’d be so kind.
Mets fans, lets show otfb a good time at our lovely establishment.

There are a lot of things you can say about Daniel Murphy, but the one thing you can’t say is that he hasn’t put 100% into baseball.
He’s played left field, second base, first base, and third base for the Mets. Naturally, he’s a third baseman. He learned left to get a spot, and platooned there with Nick Evans in 2009. Following that season, the Mets signed Jason Bay to play left field. Murphy was going to play first base for the 2010 season, but was sidelined with an injury at the beginning of the season. Mike Jacobs played so poorly that they brought Ike Davis up. Murphy, knowing that since Ike was ready, he was going to be the first baseman, started learning second so that he could be of some use to the team. On a takeout slide while playing second base in a rehab start, Murph was injured and shut down to the season. Fast forward to spring training 2011. Murphy put up a valiant battle and won a spot on the roster to platoon at second base - first with Brad Emaus, now with Justin Turner. With the injuries to both Wright and Davis, Murph has been playing first base, and now third as well. Those injuries brought up Ruben Tejada, who played second base (and is filling in at short stop while Reyes is in the Dominican Republic). It seems like Murphy can never catch a break with this team. Tejada may be in the second base mix now, although attractive his stellar defense is offset by his lack of offense. Turner has been kicking butt, getting RBIs left and right. And then there’s Murphy, silently doing all he can to help his team in his own way - maybe not as flashy as the other two, but there just the same.
There are a lot of things you can say about Daniel Murphy. That he was a sucky outfielder, sure. That he’s great off the bench in clutch situations, absolutely. But no one can ever claim that Daniel Murphy has gone out there and given anything less than his all.
I have nothing but respect for the Irish Hammer.
I once had a girl compare me to Luis Castillo when she said that we should just be friends. Did not see again.

Seems like the Mets are concentrating on getting this guy, Jake Westbrook. He is 6 - 5 this season with a 4.67 ERA. He has struck out 67 batters, walked 37, given up 13 home runs and has 59 ER against him. He has the reputation of a gamer and people from the Mets think he’d be revitalized by getting out of Cleveland and getting into a pennant race.
Now, I haven’t seen much of this guy but what I do know is he pitched poorly against the Mets a few weeks ago. He supposedly pitches deep into games and needs strong defense behind him, which if he were on the Mets he should be ok unless the opposition hit the ball to Castillo. I’d obviously rather see them get someone like Oswalt, Lilly, or even Haren but they’d have to give up so much more so perhaps Westbrook makes more sense. He would be an improvement over Takahashi, afterall.

How I wish this would happen. Don’t think it will, and I’m not crazy about trading Mejia for him. But if they could get a B type rental(Kevil Millwood) and sign Cliff Lee during the offseason, I’m down.

Those are strong words. I have a feeling this could get ugly.
