Not for nothing, but does MLB merchandising have to try and capitalize on every friggin’ opportunity to make a dollar. I am a red-blooded American, but do we have to be pimped for every holiday possible? On a weekend where the Mets are playing the NL East rival Phillies, the last thing I ...

Brian Costa just tweeted that the red hats
that all MLB teams wore on Memorial Day are
back in action tonight, and for the rest of the weekend. Great. This isn’t going to be confusing since the Mets are playing the Phillies…whose No. 1 color is red!!! Sometimes, even if the message ...

Read: Control, Sunshine, Red Hats
MetsBlog.com —
Clare Lafferty at Mets Fans Forever wonders if Jerry Manuel has lost control of his team, even though she thinks he has done a good job.
Meanwhile, Metstradamus tried to let out a ray of sunshine, but last night’s loss makes him believe that the Mets won’t win another game until the All-Star Break.
Gene Anthony at Kiner’s Korner thinks the red hats that teams are wearing this weekend are “stupid”.
…agreed Gene - i am all for patriotism, but frankly it looks like every Met was ...
Put the Angels in blue (or white) hats this weekend, and save Sara Silverman
Angels blog —
... threat to Sara’s stand-up act. Sort of like “Saving Private Ryan,” but funnier. There’s another revelation: I am a Sara Silverman fan. Then on Friday: In all the major-league games I watched, both teams were wearing red hats while they were on the field. My first thought, since everyone was making such a big deal about it, was that Manny Ramirez’s return from a 50-game suspension was the reason for the headgear change (for some teams). Once I found out what it was really about, a patriotic/marketing gesture (your choice), I thought how silly it was to have the Angels, ...

... pregame show from 1963?
I thought more people would be upset at Jack Clark talking poorly of the mid-80's Mets....which further makes me think most Mets fans are about 24 years old. Nothing wrong with that, it just means that most people's perspective doesn't go back before Piazza.
Are the Mets stupid or liars when it comes to injuries?
Howie Rose ripped the noise guys.
Not from this site but I appreciated that the Kiner's Korner blog hates the red hats.
Also not mine but I liked Bitter Bill's all ...

Just So Many Summers, Babe
faithandfear.blogharbor.com 7/6/2009 — There're just so many summers, babe. And just so many springs.
Don Henley's lyrics came to me early in the 1993 season. Too early. 1993 wasn't, sadly, the last worthless season that we'd have to spend, but damn if it wasn't over fast. The Mets were 12-25 after 37 games, 15 behind the 1st ...

The Phils were falling, and falling fast. All of a sudden, Florida and Atlanta became a concern. The team we should fear the most, however, failed to capitalize on the ...
