yeah, he also wore Nikes, not whatever those spikes are

and his glove would be blue

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

That's interesting about the

blue glove. He coordinated when he came to the Mets.

Those are Mizuno spikes as well.

Apparently, this guy likes to coordinate as well.

Jae Seo

Id have to guess its a Japanese export by the Mizuno equipment so Im going with Jae Seo

It's not even very good profiling

Since, you know, Koreans and Japanese: not the same.

It looks recent

I want to guess Luis Ayala by the arm slot, but I don’t think he had that color glove.

That has to be Aaron Heilman

No apology necessary

Some percentage of those visits are bound to be Mets fans.

Well, instead of adding porn hits to the site,

I’ll contribute this nugget: the support column in the background looks like a part of Houston’s design. Opened in 2000. So, post 2000 pitchers?

Porn is offensive

I think that there should be a rule established

A photo or a ball with a signature must have had that pitcher play more than 100 innings for the Mets.

43.1 innings? Why-o-why should I or would I remember that person?

Actually

didn’t the Mets have a lot of guys who were “the ____________ Greg Maddux”? Wasn’t Rick Reed the poor man’s Greg Maddux? And Jae Seo the Korean Greg Maddux?

Well

You did say the Japanese Mike Maddux, which would presumably be worse than the American Mike Maddux.

I dunno about that.

The Japanese are pretty good at making things better than their American counterparts.

Reading the article you linked

Steve Phillips of all people says that “over there he was known as blah blah blah.” So, not only is that kinda like a children’s game of telephone, but considering the source, I’d say the resutls were right on par.

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
Jon Rauch is awesome. Dan Tanna is, obviously, a fan of Greg Pomes.
LET'S GO METS GIF

Click here to embiggen/view.

By the way, I need some help here - is there any way to make this gif go faster? The "Let's" and "Go" sequences are only supposed to be 500 milliseconds each, and "Mets" a full second. Instead, each sequence is at least a full 1000 milliseconds (1 second) longer than it should be.
The first picture of a not devastated Tom Glavine after Game 162 of 2007 has finally been released.

(This is an old and kind of out of left field reference, but hey, we're playing the Marlins right now and John Maine just got released, so it's sort of relevant, plus I spent approximately 6.5 minutes making it and felt like I had to share.)
