The Amazin' Avenue Annual Is Here

the book is beautiful, he ain’t lying. A big thank you to Brad and everyone else who helped make this happen.

Since I want to get the book.

And huge props to Alex for getting a profile of Kiko Calero in there.

including Mets.com. This book is ridiculous levels of awesome, I’ll definitely have to pick up the print form as I’ve got some long flights coming up and that would be the perfect time to read through this in great detail.

I have one argument with Sam’s intro, in that I am in fact heartless, basement dwelling, and a spreadsheet jockey (its my own apartment though, not a subsidiary of my moms house so I’m not sure if that counts)

All jokes aside, this is great though.

I’ll gladly enjoy the downloaded copy in small doses until I can order the paper copy. Can’t wait to actually start reading it this weekend.

It’s like a real, whole book and it’s free! You could probably add a buck or two to the cost of the print copy and get some beer money out of it.

I had chores to get done this weekend, guys. Thanks a lot…

From all the annuals that I’ve read this year, this one is right at top. It’s a shame that the FO isn’t as talented as this blog staff.
Terrific job gentlemen.

for printing this whole thing out at work right now. I’m leaning towards yes…

Thanks, guys.

Thanks thanks thanks. I am going to get so little research done today. I mean research on what I’m meant to be doing. Obviously I am going to get a lot of baseball research done.

Great job guys. It looks great.

I downloaded the PDF and my computer went apeshit with the 2010 Anitvirus trojan.

Not saying it was your PDF, since this also happened to my other computer last week after opening a different PDF file.

Maybe the problem is with Adobe, but you never know.

I lobby for a scan.

If so, I’m getting mine autographed.

1) As predicted, I spent most of my afternoon pretending to study while reading handy bite-sized pieces of awesome. Ted “The Shred” Berg is, of course, teh awesome. The minor league pieces are excellent, as I’d hoped. The NL East previews were surprisingly interesting (yeah, it shouldn’t be a surprise, but hey). Once again, well done to all involved and thank you. This should give me weeks of happy reading. It should, but it won’t as I am going to BINGE.

2) I was thinking about the Cerrone thread from the other day. Now, maybe that was in my mind, but the first part of the AAA I read was Matt’s piece. It’s not American Pastoral or anything, but it really made me think in a new way about what Metsblog is, and what it is for, and why it is not really a ‘competitor’ of this site, and a whole bunch of stuff. Anyway, my snark level for Metsblog is now much lower. That’s all I have to say on that.

to sign for the guys.

sorry, i promise not use that phrase ever again. this is massively dope though. i;m allowed something like 500 free pages of print out a semester at grad school and i’m thinking about blowing 340 of those puppies on the annual. if ffor no other reason than to more easily take it into the crapper.

hey that’d be a great promo line. “Hey, check out this free mets annual! A great thing to print out and read while dumping!” i mean that would be enough to sell me anyway.
