Yes, even the weight plates have Mets logos on them.

and people complained that the stadium wasn’t “Mets-centric” enough…

LoDuca's gone, remember?

'Oh yes, I know all about that duty-of-a-citizen stuff. It doesn't go. There are exceptions to every rule, and this was one of them. When a man risks his liberty to come and root at a ball-game, you've got to hand it to him. He isn't a crook. He's a fan.'

When did they sign "Ivanko"?

And how does he get three different uniform numbers?

The Nye Mets are my favorite squadron.

seriously though

Those plates are $4+/lb instead of $2+/lb for the regular grade, and the engraving is $20 per plate. That’s a pricey weight room…

I'd love to see the Metsblog reaction

when Wilpon announces that all the money putting into the engraved weights is what convinced him not to let Omar sign Manny

You don't think they get a discount for buying bulk?

and maybe there’s even more of a price cut by making Ivanko the official barbell of the New York Mets.

That is awesome!

Glad they didn’t put the stupid patch on the plates.

Omar's off-season contract strategy.  (Get it?)
(Yes, I'm having too much fun with GraphJam)
I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit.  To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has.  If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
