Completely agree

Wow

the number one issue facing the Mets is finding that one guy who’s going to say "get on my shoulders and ride me to the championship."

Props to Joe

That is some good graphic design. Don’t think we’ve ever had a flashing MS Paint.

He has a whole bunch of these

My favorite is the Oliver Perez v-day. These cards a pretty cool.

He looks like he gave up his second walk of the inning.

It makes me laugh because O.P. is probably thinking of you, me, what he ate for breakfast, and where he is going to eat after the game. Anything but pitching.

Okay so I just checked out all the e-cards that they have

and the Ollie valentine was the only good one. And they were seriously thankful for Jeff Francoeur. I thought it was a joke. (Yikes!) But the fact that the other 3 “thankful for” images are Beltran, Johan, and Wright, means this website is really thankful. He is implicitly ranking Francoeur with those 3 core members. And where’s Jose Reyes?

this is from their avatars section

Also, this one…familiar looking background there

Also a Reyes Valentines day one

Also, this inappropriate-sounding one

I should've known...

I woke up to a high bandwidth notice and wondered how this could have happened in the off season.

I’m glad you like the graphics, but all of those graphics are from 2005 and ’06. Our effects and skills have gotten much better since then. You guys should really be digging on our cool buttons.

James, by far the funniest comment with Omar and his D in a B. The graphic predated the song, but it gives me a whole new idea on a new Omar and the Wilpons D in a B series.

Do Mets fans know about the turkey underwear?

Francoeur breaks out lucky ‘turkey underwear’ | AJC.com.

I’m pretty sure he still thinks it works is the sad thing.

I don't know what the most amazing thing in that article is...

A) Francoeur has turkey briefs.
B) He gets presents on Thanksgiving.
C) If he “knows” they produce wins, he only wears them sparingly.
D) He needs his wife to wash his clothing.

This was like an on-going mini-saga last year

On the way to putting up a big fat .250/.282/.352 line with the Braves, he also did plenty of other little things to piss me off. The turkey underwear was one of them. The AJC ran multiple stories on the fucking turkey underwear, including one every time he wore them, which really made my blood boil. The announcers were talking about it during the games. I just couldn’t get over the fact that the guy hitting .250/.282/.352 has time to joke about turkey underwear.

I just don't get it.

If he KNOWS that that pair of underwear alone is responsible for his club winning, why does he not wash and wear them every game? If he did, his team would WIN every game. Why save them for “must-win” games, which usually occur when you team is in dire straights, or backed up against a wall?

You're talking about a guy...

…who said that he didn’t want to hit a home run because it would be a “rally-killer”.
