Don't know if the Mets will be better in 2018, but here were ten top reasons they were going to be in 1996. [youtube]Q0CGyPl0Sc4[/youtube] Top Ten Reasons The Mets Will Do Better In 1996 - January 22, 1996 10. This year, the league is going to let us hit the ball off a tee —Second baseman Jeff Kent 9. We're eliminating that pre-game Happy Hour —Shortstop Jose Vizcaino 8. No more leaving during the eighth inning to beat traffic —Left fielder Ryan Thompson 7. 96 is a leap year, so we'll have an extra day to practice —Pitcher Jason Isringhausen 6. We're finally going to get around to finding out what this sign means —1st Baseman Rico Brogna 5. We're going to give 110 percent, at least 51 percent of the time —Right fielder Carl Everett 4. It's a huge weight off our shoulders knowing Letterman won't be hosting this year's Academy Awards —Catcher Todd Hundley 3. No more Cartoon Channel in the dugout —Pitcher Bill Pulsipher 2. We just signed a chimp with a 200-mph fastball —Pitcher Bobby Jones 1. Two words: lucky cups —Pitchers John Franco and Dave Mlicki

A wool Mets ski cap from the black as Mets color era made a cameo on the SNL of March 10, 2018. Kyle Mooney as goofy Christ Fitzpatrick was asking passersby to weigh in on how great rock is and/or how much greater rock is than rap, and one of his respondents was wearing said hat. Earlier on Saturday, spending several hours in Queens, I saw one guy wearing a Mets cap. And many people wearing the cap of some other local team.

Method Man of Wu-Tang Clan wore a Darryl Strawberry 1986 Mets jersey and a Mets cap as he and Ghostface Killah appeared in a sketch with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, April 17, 2018. Method Man’s outfit got more exposure in a widely circulated Instagram photo he and his bandmate took with author and former FBI director James Comey, who was Colbert’s main guest on the same episode.

[youtube:1kkdxzb7]3pJ91YvVaVI[/youtube:1kkdxzb7] Three Sides of the Coin is a Kiss podcast, but the guys were at an event recently and spent some time talking to Jay Jay French of Twisted Sister. Jay Jay spends a nice chunk of his interview talking about the Mets, and how the guys in the band were huge Mets fans. First thing they'd do after a gig, he said, was check the score of the Mets game. French said Piazza was fan, and used "You Can't Stop Rock and Roll" as his walk-up music. And on a night where the Mets celebrated the Beatles concert at Shea, all the walk-up tunes were replaced with Beatles songs. Except for Piazza, who refused to switch. Jay Jay is early in the podcast, followed by Slim Jim Phantom of the Stray Cats, making it a very Long Island show.

From the blink/miss corner of the Mets in Popular Culture: [fimg=400]http://i67.tinypic.com/29yl6dd.jpg[/fimg] And this, which is connected to Faith and Fear's appearance on Madam Secretary: “They’re winning, 7-2, ninth inning. But watch, they will find a way to blow it. This closer is horrible.” “Who are they playing?” “Philly. Remember how you used to hate the Phillies? You went crazy when they traded Dykstra and McDowell for that — what the hell was that guy’s name?” “Juan Samuel.” “Juan Samuel. That was a horrible trade.” —Father (Elliott Gould as Bob Kroll), watching a Mets game on the living room TV, and son (Jemaine Clement as Nate Kroll), coming downstairs for a snack, bonding for an instant over baseball, Humor Me (2017) Also in Humor Me, among the items Nate finds in his father Bob’s storage locker are “ticket stubs from Mets games”. As previously noted, the director of Humor Me and the Madam Secretary episode in which Jason and I appeared, Sam Hoffman, is a Mets fan and Faith and Fear reader who alerted me to the inclusion of the infamous 1989 trade in his script. I watched the movie this weekend. Very warm, very funny, very satisfying. He reports that Clement, from New Zealand, "was a sport to say "Juan Samuel" with an American accent in five different takes."

On the Season Two premiere of Brockmire (April 25, 2018), the title character, portrayed by legit MLBS Hank Azaria, hands out gift baskets to his "guests" the morning after. Among them is "the Piazza," which includes a "potty squatty" and olive oil, which his assistant put together because "he's an Italian catcher -- it's so obvious." Brockmire himself prefers to hand out the Jeter because he views the Piazza as "confusing" and "unpopular," adding "there's an element of sadness to them."

The Mets provide the opposition for the Dodgers in the May 2, 1964, episode of The Joey Bishop Show, a parallel universe version of The Dick Van Dyke Show if you've never seen it (except less warm and charming). The title of the episode is "Joey and the L.A. Dodgers," the premise being there's an exhibition game between the two teams, and Joey Bishop as Joey Barnes needs a guest on his variety series, since Tony Bennett took ill, and Joey did a stage show in Las Vegas with six of the world champs during the offseason...well, there ya go. Since they're in town, arrangements are made and they'll be over to the studio shortly after the game ends this afternoon. Except the Mets and Dodgers take their exhibition game (I don't know why it had to be an exhibition; the series is based in New York) through the 26th inning. According to the radio voice of Vin Scully, as Joey listens anxiously with time of the essence, Casey Stengel is sending up his final pinch-hitter Duke Snider. Snider whacks one deep to center, and it's about to go out, but Willie Davis makes a sensational catch. Fortunately, Joey's manager Larry Corbett (Corbett Monica) does a rain dance in Joey's apartment and Vin reports rain breaks out "at the ballpark" prior to the 27th inning. Appearing on the show within a show: Don Drysdale (he sings "I Left My Heart in San Francisco"), Ron Perranoski (he finishes it because Drysdale once again can't go all the way), Moose Skowron, future Met manager Frank Howard and the two Davises: Willie and future Met Tommy. The big number is the sextet and Joey doing a reworking of "High Hopes," that recounts how the Dodgers "embarrassed Maris" and "handled Mantle" in the World Series. Since the show is, as mentioned, New York-situated, it's great that the audience cheers the team that swept the MFYs. Shea was two weeks old when this episode aired but it is not mentioned by name. Also, Snider had been sold to the Giants prior to Opening Day, but that's showbiz.

In the TV movie, The Prince of Central Park, aired on CBS, June 17, 1977, T.J. Hargrave as J.J. -- a kid who, with his sister, runs away from home to escape an abusive foster mother -- wears a plastic Mets batting helmet both in the film and on the cover of the video release. No doubt, given the date, he was extra shaken up by the instability in the Mets family that week.

Edgy MD Jun 17 2018 10:36 AM Re: The Mets in Popular Culture, 2018

Those helmets make work as a symbol of a kid trying to steel himself against an abusive environment. Maybe. But they had the strange quality of actually making a blow to the head more painful.

Bull Durham has turned thirty, shining a spotlight on Tim Robbins's most admirable affiliation (from Christian Red, who always does good work in the Snooze). Robbins also had a long-standing passion for baseball, stemming from his Mets rooting interests when he was growing up in New York City. Robbins says he attended both of the franchise's World Series-clinching games at Shea Stadium -- in 1969 and 1986. "My parents had come from Los Angeles, so they had an affinity towards the National League because of the Dodgers. But we became long-suffering Mets fans in the early ‘60 to late ‘60s," says Robbins. "I saw them win the World Series against the Orioles on my 11th birthday (Game 5, Oct. 16, 1969). I was in the stadium, towards the back row, with my grandmother. It gave me a lifelong belief in the concept that anything is possible. And I also saw them win it in 1986. I was shooting “Five Corners” (in New York). Slightly better seats this time. I do (have the ticket stubs from both games) and I also bought the seats when they tore Shea down. I bought my seats that I sat in for both World Series games."

She replies "Let's go Mets" and a girl in the toilet next door says "Let's go Mets" as she uses it. (Yes, the show is pretty gross; the basic premise is about teens being visited by the puberty monster and doesn't shirk from dealing with the issues involved. Especially the most embarassing ones.) Adding: Watched the third episode. Andrew is definitely identified as a Mets fan.

A surprising amount of Met content in the new Jack Ryan series on Netflix. Without giving too much away, A Mets-Nats game is featured. It's on Amazon Prime and LS is correct as the Mets are mentioned in the 1st episode and Mets fans are shown in the 8th (finale) episode. In the 1st episode: "Dr. Ryan. Tough loss for your O's last night." "Could be worse. Could be a Mets fan." Me: have you checked the standings, Dr. Ryan? In the 8th, without spoiling, someone gets killed while wearing a Nationals cap and it is glorious.
