If age was so important

why is it not on the scoreboard?

You don't cheer for the Mets. You drink for the Mets.

you beat me to it

We may joke about Francoeur, but it won’t be long until he takes D-Dub’s place as the 40th Greatest Met of All Time.

Happy B-day, Frenchie!

Who even knew that the "Greatest Met of All Time" series

still exited?

The Mets lobby Omar for a plan, and his plan, he likes his plan. The problem is that he didn't write his plan down 'cause that makes it paperwork, and that’s false hustle... Know what I’m sayin’?

If birthdays are so important, why aren't they on the scoreboard?

Wow

Rec’d.

Another question, does Francoeur have a bottom set of teeth?

Apparently, Francoeur is a Matt Groening production.

Happy Birthday, Frenchy!

Here's a good over/under

Which will be higher this year: the number of unintentional walks Jeff draws, or the number of years he has been alive? I will be optimistic and say over (barely).

I'll even give you the 9 he drew this year with the Mets in addition to next year.

That would put him on pace for 27.1.

Good riddance FYF!

Here are Pujols's stats: 1.000/1.000/4.000/5.000. That's right. He is batting a thousand, with a thousand OBP (naturally), and every hit has been a home run, and thus his OPS is a perfect 5.000.
