Justin's morning-after Twitter lament: redturn2 Justin Turner @tiffdeleon she just used me for the best pizza I've ever had! Where did you disappear to? I'm through looking out for him. Want the 2011 thread? Look here or check the archives for threads started in November 2011.

his latest tweet: Prepping for trip. Bought 4 like-new tires at chop shop across from Citi. He threw in free wiper fluid. Better than the Wheeler deal! https://twitter.com/#!/MetsGM/status/168047042646646784 hilarious!

That's great news! Zack Wheeler is less valuable than wiper fluid! They'll have to remember that argument when it comes to arbitration time.

Exactly , it's only been a few tweets but I like the route Alderson has taken here, he could have gone all official but what fun would that have been? Of course it's a fine line and ten game losing streaks might not be the best place for it, still I appreciate the piss taking.

just thought i'd catch us up on sandy's tweets. Inspired by Jose & Joba, got a haircut for charity, but @MLBNetwork wasn't interested. Barber "donated" clippings to trash can on 84th St Will have to drive carefully on trip; Mets only reimburse for gas at a downhill rate. Will try to coast all the way to FL. Thanks for your response to my foray into Twitter. Once in FL, I will get serious & begin to answer your Mets questions. In the meantime… Can’t decide on a Valentine’s Day gift for my wife: Spa day or iHOP gift card? Wife was not happy with the gift card. Should’ve bought her a box of chocolates.

Josh Thole: Why I Left Twitter Mets catcher Josh Thole explains why he left Twitter Carmelo Anthony and Bryce Harper are other athletes who dropped Twitter Thole said he drew the line at people attacking his family By Erin Weaver, SI.com Twitter has helped bridge the gap between athletic celebrities and their fans, but not every athlete has embraced the the social media service. The list of those who have joined Twitter only to delete their accounts afterward include Knicks star forward Carmelo Anthony (after allegedly tweeting a reward to anyone would beat up a woman named Kat Stacks). Anthony, as if often the case in these types of instances, later claimed he was hacked. Lakers star Kobe Bryant also made a quick appearance on the social media site, creating a profile that accumulated 35,000 followers in just a few hours, and then deleted the account. Mets catcher Josh Thole counts himself among those that joined -- and quickly quit the service. He joined early in 2011 and left Twitter that May after being harassed during a slump. Thole said he didn't mind the criticism of his game, but Twitter became too much when people started tweeting negatively about his family. "I've got no problem being ridiculed myself but when you start personally attacking my family, that's too much for me," Thole said. "At that point, it's not worth it." Some athletes enjoy engaging with followers and Twitter can be a great platform for self-promotion and maintaining a good reputation. Social media also allows fans to feel close to athletes, offering insights into the day-to-day routine of athletes and even an outlet for conversation. But the accessibility to athletes can bring out the worst in some fans. Pseudo-anonymity allows people to say inappropriate things without any repercussions. Thole says that line gets crossed too often. "It's easy to ridicule people," Thole said. "I don't have a problem with the bullying or the negative feedback. But at some point, enough is enough. There's still a human element involved in this." Thole acknowledges that the athlete-Twitter relationship is still undefined. "From [an athlete's] standpoint, I think [Twitter] is a great tool," Thole said. "It's a great way to interact with the fans, and it's a great marketing tool for the team, a player and their brand... I don't know if it's a fad, I don't know if it'll go away I'm not sure I see that ever happening." There's no question that Twitter can promote an athlete or his her team, but when Twitter becomes an impediment for the athlete or the game, according to Thole, a re-evaluation becomes necessary. "This game goes on very well without [social media]," Thole said. "It gets in the way of what the ultimate goal is. It's good to market the team and yourself but at the end of the day, you have to go out there and play baseball. That's your job." Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/m ... z271nTssv9

Especially since I still want them to follow me and click my links. It's hard during the offsaeson too, because people feel empowered not to talk about baseball which is fine I guess, but some of the non-baseball stuff bores the hell out of me.

Ceetar Oct 22 2012 12:36 PM Re: Met Tweets of 2012

The younger Mets, guys like Harvey and den Dekker and the like, are different than say Santana or Dickey. Those guys signed up as part of their baseball player image. The younger ones in some cases signed up just like any other college kid would and therefore use it differently. Interesting.

metirish Oct 22 2012 12:49 PM Re: Met Tweets of 2012

The fact that you can call a person a "faggot" and get away with it is wrong. In the UK/Ire where libel laws are strict that person could have been reported to the police and perhaps acted upon. When Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the soccer field a young man sent out some really vile tweets directed at and about Muamba.....he got jailed for 56 days......quickly too.
