Mets Patches


Yesterday we got a chuckle out of The Sports Hernia's look at "concepts the Mets whipped up before ultimately netting out with the victory you see above."

Seems the Hernia isn't the only one getting a laugh out of the new patches, as Big League Stew and Uni Watch were all over it as well.

Below are our submissions that apparently didn't even warrant a response from the team.

You're Fired!



One thing that bears mentioning in this year's unceremonious firings of playoff chasing managers Willie Randolph and Ned Yost: both we're brought about by the play of the Philadelphia Phillies, as much as the lack thereof of their own respective clubs.


AP: "But the team has gone into a September slump. After being swept in four games in Philadelphia, the Brewers dropped into a tie with the Phillies for a wild-card spot in the postseason...After the weekend series with the Phillies they decided the managerial change had to be made."

Yahoo!: "Randolph’s job security had been unstable since September, when the club suffered arguably the biggest regular-season collapse in baseball history, blowing a seven-game standings lead to the Philadelphia Phillies with 17 contests remaining."

Yet for a few years now, the Phillies, to the dismay of many Fightin' fans, can't seem to figure out a way to give their own manager the boot.
