Pitchers and catchers reporting as we speak! Now that’s a reason to wish you a very Happy Valentine’s Day.

research begins.

I’m just saying, if he wants to break into some physical comedy during the 7th inning stretch, I’m okay with that.

He may be helping the Giants win this thing but the only thing I can think of when I look at Cody Ross is Scanners.

The best part of a day game is that view.

As suggested by someone who left a comment in my Ask box, I’m going to do a Buster Posey signed baseball giveaway.

I recently found two signed Buster Posey Official Major League Baseballs in my closet while cleaning my room. I got them signed at a San Jose Giants game last season.

One of them could be yours.

Here’s how it’s going to work. Re-blog this post and follow me (if you don’t already) for a chance to win the ball. Since it’s the 28th, I’ll end this one month from now on September 28th (Buster Posey’s number!). I’ll compile a list of everybody that has re-blogged and followed me and I’ll randomly choose a winner using a random number generator. If there are a lot of people that do this, I might give away the second ball too.

Just to get this going, I will give a random Buster Posey rookie card as well to those that re-blog and follow until supplies last. Hit me up with your contact info so that I can mail you the card.

Thanks and good luck!

In their 1963 yearbook, the New York Mets ran this introduction to Mr. Met. Via Uni Watch:

Like a new baby “Mr. Met” must learn to crawl before he can walk and run. As this season progresses and in the years ahead, “Mr. Met” will appear in hundreds of different poses and will be an integral part of our new scoreboard at Shea Stadium. Their will be all types of “Mr. Met” merchandise, some of which will be available here at the ball park; many other items will be sold in department and variety stores.

Exactly like a new baby.

Curvesball will resume regular posting next week. You should enjoy Doughnuts in the meantime and alwaystime.

This is from the day I fell in love with the Mets.

I was never a baseball fan growing up. Like many kids, it didn’t appeal to me that much. It’s slow and boring, etc. etc.

But, when I moved back to NJ, both my boss and roommate were huge Mets fans. So I fell into it, but didn’t really love it. 

Then: Game 7, 2006 NLCS. This catch. Oliver Perez pitching the best game of his career. Also, most appropriately, the Mets loosing in heartbreaking fashion. 

October 19, 2006. The day I fell in love with the Mets.

Now, fuck those American League assholes from the bronx.

Lets. Go. Mets!
