Name That Mets Autograph

Lazy Monday, short week, nothing interesting going on. The free agent market is moving at a snail's pace, with the Mets just barely dipping their toes in the water. Let's kill some time guessing another illegible Mets autograph! No cheating, now. No scouring autograph galleries on the internet somewhere.

Jerry Manuel?

There appears to be a “J” and “M” in there. Then again, maybe that makes it too obvious.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

Alternatively, John Maine?

I’m sticking with my “J.M.” theory.

wow

This one is much harder than Willie Mays but clearly it’s Mike Bacsik.

I think it might be "HoJo"

but I’ll say…Hats.

But I really have no clue.

Sign me up

How Jesse Orosco? He’s no Tu Timp, but he would’ve gotten us to the playoffs the last 2 seasons.

Wild Guess

Looks like J.C. Martin to me.

Let's Go Mets!

i'm going to have to go with the obvious

longtime 4th outfielder and career .237 hitter…

Jemru

Jemru and Tuuu Timp

We really should have continued to mine the Finnish minor leagues. Those guys were great.

I don't think it's John

I have a grand total of five autographs in my collection and one of them happens to be him. Very legible.

I thought it was, too

But a Google Images search proved otherwise.

I know

But it’s not like I found the answer or anything.

Answer:

It’s John Maine. Congrats to CPP. You win 500 AA points, which are only slightly more valuable than a similar number of shares of Citicorp.

Does John Maine

use a different alphabet than the rest of us?

by Alex Nelson on Nov 24, 2008 7:47 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

It may be sloppy

but it’s still way more legible than Willie Mays.

by BobbyV_Incognito on Nov 24, 2008 11:32 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Watch it, buddy

That’s “Tuuu Timp” to you.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

Tuu Timp

Didn’t he play center for the Red Wings?

by BobbyV_Incognito on Nov 25, 2008 12:19 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Woo!

That’s a taco for me!

Congrats, Catsmeat

You’re officially an expert in deciphering alien script.

NOT LOOKING AT ANY OTHER POSTS

Gary Carter.

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

doh!

John Maine? Seriously, how the fuck does that say “Maine”?

you know what's funny?

It kind of looks like Jesse Orosco’s actual autograph. Such similar names they have, Maine and Orosco.

The first “O” in orosco looks a lot like the first “C” in Maine

Jason Philips?

At least I got the J right…
