New York Mets Slogans

Avert your eyes! The goggles, they do nothing!

The Mets have employed a seemingly endless collection of team slogans over the years. Here's a bunch of them:

Bring Your Kids To See Our Kids (1979)
The Magic Is Back (1980)
Catch The Rising Stars (1983)
Baseball Like It Oughta Be (1986) Let's Do It Again (1987)
Hardball Is Back (1992)
Show Up At Shea (1998)
Amazin' Again (2000)
National League Champs (2001)
Always Believe (2002)
Experience It (2003)
Catch the Energy (2004)
The New Mets (2005)
The Team. The Time. The Mets. (2006)
Your Season Has Come (2007)
We Believe In Comebacks (2010)

They've yet to reveal a new catchphrase for the 2012 team, so use this thread to suggest some possibilities. I'll forward the best onto the Mets' media relations staff. Or not. We'll see how it goes. Here are a few to get you started:

E Pluribus Dickey
None For The Money
Check Back In 2013
Beltran-Free Since 2012
This Space For Rent

“Show Up at Shea?” I showed up that year and don’t remember that pleading slogan.

I remember that one.

They’d always say on the tv commercials “Show Up At Shea on April 5th against the Marlins….” or whatever. I always thought it was a pretty slick slogan that they should’ve used all the time.

A WIN METHOD (TM) PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

These guys are playing hardball. Ok, we must all mobilize, everybody... you do realize, this means WAR!

(Click here to embiggen)
At 5:30 PM EDT today Starting today at 5:00 PM EDT, witness one of the greatest renderings of visual sound effects ever!

UPDATE 1: My browser has crashed several times in the process from all the rants (FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!) - as a result, there will instead be 4 or 5 separate installments of fxcarden's Nightly Rants! from 2011, with a similar pattern for the 2012 rants. Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

Volume 1: 2011
No. 1: Today at 5:00 PM EDT
No. 2: Tomorrow
No. 3: Thursday
No. 4 and No. 5 (?) TBD

UPDATE 2: Vol. I, No. 1 (July, 2011) is now up!

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!
