I'd Gloat More If My Internet Worked

The second I saw the hat, I wanted to run to the computer and exclaim how thrilled I am that the Mets are at least on part of the same page as me. Well, I can still boast how right I was, but it's gonna be a little toned down on the blogger iPhone app. I can't even link to the "idea for the alternate blue uniform" I had a few months ago (that's your cue to search for the link.)

It's not like the Mets listened to me, because they put that hat idea in to MLB last March. They just got it. When they tried out the blue jerseys these last two seasons, you could tell there was two much blue going on. The alternate cap with the orange rim and the white-trimmed interlocking NY makes perfect sense when there is so much blue going on. So, the powers that be thought the same as me aesthetically about the blue uniform hat.

Now, I like the blue Mets home uniform. I do. I just think there is so much Mets script across the chest going on in the other uniforms that the blue home alternate should go in a different direction. That's why in the "Idea" post I propose the white-trimmed interlocking NY be put on the left chest instead of the Mets script, keeping the orange piping down the front as well. It would not only be a different than anything they currently have, but different than any uniform they've ever had. I hope they look into this for 2014, or in other words, for this March.

The road blue alternate is perfect. I have no suggestions regarding that one. (If you haven't seen it, please check it out in the Mets shop or in google image searches.)

Anyway, this is where I would normally insert a song. And that photo should be up top.

LET'S. GO. METS.

Hittin' the Road from Upstate as our "Team is Broke."

I'm sorry, but isn't this the same news we found out when the Wilpons found out that $700 million they thought they had they actually didn't? Why is this breaking news? Because the idea they can't get a deal done with their two most popular players (one who became one in 6 less years than the other) is hanging in the balance.

This "news" hits as I help ready my dad to transfer his life to Denver, where my sis lives. He has just been approved for disability retirement, and Veterans Disability Retirement. For at least till next summer, my dad will help out with his grandkids, enjoying life in a nice town they call the Mile High City as we pay him back for his service to us and his country. To get there, we opt to drive. First, we will take a journey down the east coast and in, to Alabaster, AL, to visit the youngest of the three sis's on my dad's side. She has a newborn boy, not mention two other nephews (yeah, yeah. I'm Uncle Sam.) FROM THERE, we will drive to Denver in either 24 hours, or 12 and 12. Will be quite the adventure.

Meanwhile, here at the upstate house, my Wifi is not working. I am typing this for the first time on my new iPhone, on the Blogger App. I'm pretty sure the Courier New Screenplay-type font I want is not being used. I'm pretty Effin' pissed off (this is what our Twitter brethren would call #FirstWorldProblems.)

Anyway, as I venture out into the Wild American Yonder (with working wifi) I have a screenplay to write, a couple screenplays to revise, and some Mets stuff to write about, including the 2nd part of my April Denver trip. It is only fitting that the 2nd chapter of the Mile High journey get posted as I hit the road for that Colorado town. (Because of my no wifi I cannot link Mile High Mr. Met Pt. 1 to you. If you have not read it, it can be found in the links to your right. If you have read it, read it again, please.)

I also implore help from you all. I mentioned this on Twitter some days ago, but I now mention it to the Met fans who read these posts. I would like to interview Met fans this offseason and into next year on their Fandom on camera. Every aspect of it. I appreciate those who retweeted this request (I know them as @Sharklady2, @petemc1969, and @jimbojoker38) and those who have already agreed to the request (like Greg Prince and all his NY Baseball Giant buddies.) Anyone who would like to help me explore the human sports psyche via your Met fandom, please contact me, and let your friends know as well. I will do my best to reach out to many of you, but please, reach out to me first.

That's it for tonight. Thanks for tunin' in. (Aw, man. I can't put the song I wanted to put in the post from the Pandora that is playing on my iPhone as I type this on my iPhone. #FirstWorldProblems suck.)

(If this IS the font I want, I apologize to the makers of this app. Otherwise, get to work.)

HAPPY VETERANS DAY.

LET'S. GO. METS.
