Apropos of Nothing but Mets

I always figured we could use a random thread for Mets related minutia. or baseball related anyway. Did you know that The Sporting News picked the Mets to finish 2nd behind the Expos in 1993, with the one sentence justification of "Let's just pretend last year didn't happen" ? They also have a photo of Gooden with the caption "This Dr. needs a prescription"

From 2001-2010, the Mets had the second-highest number of rainouts in MLB with 28, trailing only the Red Sox, who had 31. By contrast, Florida had only 10. (MFY's had 24, if you must know.)

Those are good items for a new fact/opinion thread.

Rather low Metly quotient, though. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to have Seaver, or Strawberry, or Gooden, or Wright, or Mookie? Or any of about two dozen others?

Because only so many ex-MLBers (a.k.a. legends) are participating with Pepsi. The only Mets are Piazza, Murray and Henderson. Ballot here.

randomly stumbled on this tidbit in an email chat from 9/21/2008, made me sad. wife: mets win? me: losing. wife: ISN'T IT OVER? me: no Manuel is trying to use every pitcher.

Enjoy your holidays! Is anyone surprised that Murphy and Turner found time to take some swings the second they saw Citi Field?

I guess they were in the cage, but I like the thought that they went out and took some cold-weather cracks at the whatever's representing the new fences.
