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.

Howard Johnson?
I see “Hojo”

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.

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

The Zulu tribe also has some underrated prospects.

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.

Gary Carter makes the most sense to me.

I thought it was, too
But a Google Images search proved otherwise.

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?

It may be sloppy
but it’s still way more legible than Willie Mays.

Watch it, buddy
That’s “Tuuu Timp” to you.

Tuu Timp
Didn’t he play center for the Red Wings?

Woo!
That’s a taco for me!

Congrats, Catsmeat
You’re officially an expert in deciphering alien script.

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

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…
