It's the annual hazing day for Mets rookies. http://twitpic.com/jen4r Why is Wright in that picture? Santos is Robin: http://tweetphoto.com/g640auco left to right, it's Lance Broadway, Bobby Parnell, Tobi Stoner, physical therapist John Zajac, Daniel Murphy, Josh Thole, with Omir Santos in front. Takahashi:

Given that it's almost Yom Kippur, I'm surprised there's no tallis or tzitzis involved.

man... i cannot figure out who everyone is in there...

Dang, Ken is too old to put up with that.

Why's Wright gone now from the first picture? I'm about six clicks from becoming a Royals fan.

Edgy DC Sep 27 2009 07:51 PM Re: It's Hazing Day

Appears to be a moment before or after.

Maybe I don't understand professional jock humor and tradition. How the last three seasons have ended, I really have no patience to see such nonsense -- with or without Mr. Wright.

Edgy DC Sep 27 2009 08:29 PM Re: It's Hazing Day

Oh, sure, longstanding jock tradition of thinking feminization is the ultimate in degrading humorous insult. I stood with Jeff Kent back when he got hazed. Well, in spirit anyhow. Cut the crap and play responsible ball. http://www.nytimes.com/1992/09/15/sport ... g-fit.html

Jay thinks, "hey, how did they get to my on-the-road stockings?"

The season has been pretty miserable for them too, I imagine. Let them have fun with their little tradition; I don't see the harm in it. Really, it seems that you guys are letting your frustration with the season turn this little joke into something much more than it is. With or without this, they would still be eliminated.

Shouldn't Murphy have been hazed last year?

I suspect none of them would know what tallis or tzitzis is. Or are.

I know I have no idea.

hc: Really, it seems that you guys are letting your frustration with the season turn this little joke into something much more than it is <<< Well, last three seasons.

[quote="HahnSolo":39aljhmj]Shouldn't Murphy have been hazed last year?[/quote:39aljhmj] Some teams do it before September. In '06 the Mets did it after their June trip to Toronto because making the rookies go through customs in those getups makes the whole ordeal even more rigorous.

Hazing needs to be abolished..Who will be the first manager with the balls to not allow it?

[quote="Ashie62":z5gktkhq]Hazing needs to be abolished..Who will be the first manager with the balls to not allow it?[/quote:z5gktkhq] The Mets have been hazed by most of the National League this season.

[quote="HahnSolo":59f8eo90]Shouldn't Murphy have been hazed last year?[/quote:59f8eo90] He was, but --- son of a bitch --- he really liked it. Those are his regular street clothes now.

I don't understand the appeal of dehumanizing acts, thats why
