Mets Morning News: R.I.P. 2012 Mets

Meet the Mets

Anthony DiComo takes a look back at June, when Dickey pitched like Pedro and Johan Santana threw a freakin' no-hitter, you guys.

At Sports on Earth, Emma Span looks at the notable moustaches of 2012 and says a fond farewell to Keith Hernandez's iconic 'stache.

Javier Vazquez is considering a comeback. Make a phone call, Sandy.

I don't know what's with all the Kevin Towers hagiography lately. Maybe people just really like platoon outfielders.

And now, your 2012 Mets highlight of the day to get through the long, cold winter:

Jeremy Hefner knocks a big dong (TM Michael Baron) for his first major league hit.
