I move that come up with a term to call a gathering of two or more Mets. We use it until the coinage becomes generally adopted. So move I. https://cdn.newsday.com/polopoly_fs/1.27458745.1550545126!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_768/image.jpg> https://static01.nyt.com/images/2018/04/01/sports/01metsold1-print/merlin_136164360_36e14df2-d079-4f9b-8c88-27fffd43d0f7-articleLarge.jpg?quality=75&auto=webp&disable=upscale> https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/brodie.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=618&h=410&crop=1> https://securea.mlb.com/assets/images/7/9/0/151755790/cuts/mookie1280_bktv016q_gbzhglb3.jpg> https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/stltoday.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/8/09/809dad4d-9971-5fba-823e-f4de36a39417/5633a52265438.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C794> https://nbchardballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a5b3cf384508940b5d020a6c869bfb74.jpg?w=610&h=343&crop=1> https://www.georgevecsey.com/uploads/1/0/0/8/10081517/6122623_orig.jpg> https://securea.mlb.com/assets/images/5/8/8/155225588/cuts/Mets_NL_champs_1280_5dunygm0_78bbu3l3.jpg>

Of the options, Flushing. For your consideration: A Meet of Mets?

Centerfield Mar 25 2019 09:33 PM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

What should a collection of Mets be called? Um. Mets?

I would vote for that one

G-Fafif Mar 25 2019 10:44 PM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

A Mettle of Mets.

Frayed Knot Mar 26 2019 03:07 AM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

A scuffle of Mets

Fman99 Mar 26 2019 04:08 AM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

Metses

whippoorwill Mar 26 2019 05:56 AM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

Mettle is good. Gaggle. Mazzilli of Mets is fun to say but it'll never win

Edgy MD Mar 26 2019 06:27 AM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

Fun to say is important. "A Teufel of Mets" is an overlooked contender.

Willets Point Mar 26 2019 08:13 AM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

An amazin' of Mets.

This should have been a choice.

Or, how about just team?

I voted "Flushing" but I love "Mettle".

Edgy MD Mar 26 2019 09:00 AM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

I actually had it briefly on the short list, but I thought the redundancy would make it un-appealing.

Johnny Lunchbucket Mar 26 2019 09:07 AM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

I like Teuful

seawolf17 Mar 26 2019 09:12 AM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

I kind of love "a Kranepool of Mets." Speaks to the longest-tenured Met, who played with everybody; I like the "pool" imagery, too.

Edgy MD Mar 26 2019 10:04 AM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

Exactly. The suffix "-pool" suggests a collection, and Ed — in his usual ordinariness, and occasional pretty goodness, his New York nativeness, his celebratedness linked to his status as a Met icon that has frequently alienated various incarnations of management, his ironic stardom, his 1962 link, his 1969/73 membership, his quixotic attempts to acquire the franchise — remains about as definitive a Met as there can be.

A Boy Named Seo Mar 26 2019 10:32 AM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

A Heep of Mets is a big-ass pile of Mets, people. A Darling of Mets reminds me of a collection of starlings (which is actually a murmuration, but whatev). A Familia of Mets is a tight-knit group of Mets. A Koo of Mets sounds like caged Mets, probably those confined to the bullpen. A Teufel of Mets is good, and sounds some Mets stuffed in a duffel bag for easy carrying. A Meet of Mets is pretty perfect and would be my write-in.

Edgy MD Mar 26 2019 10:37 AM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

We may need a derby after the Magazine Cover Derby is over.

Edgy MD Mar 26 2019 10:48 AM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

A Bohanon of Mets is a whole load. An Asdrubal of Mets is a very unpleasant whole load. A Feliciano of Mets is joyful gathering.

Vic Sage Mar 27 2019 12:31 PM Re: What's Your Collective Noun?

a flushing of Mets is what I'm willing to do, usually by August.
