Tremendous feat...49ers next. BELIEVE in BLUE!

Sexy Mets Gifts

Honestly, receiving anything Mets related for the holidays this year is bitter sweet, but seriously lame. It's cool and all because we're die hard fans, we love our team, and they keep us coming back for more. But at the same time it brings to mind the harsh reality of another shitty year to come.

 Plus, with the moves the Washington Nationals are making, this could be the year our lovely team will dwell in the rock bottom of what is the NL East.

But its the holidays, so let's check out some cool Mets stuff...

Jose Reyes Jets Amidst More Mets Lies

The fans speak, loudly... Strong opinions on both sides of the Mets Jose Reyes pursuit, or should we say lack there of, just lit up the chatter today. Whether you agree or disagree with the Mets handling of this situation, one things for sure,  this is unfortunately going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Sorry to say that Mets fans.

The Mets are the new Kansas City Royals, the new Pittsburgh Pirates, if you know what I mean. Things are so bad the Wilpons are running this team like chicken little in a big market.

Say what you want, the Mets can continue to blow smoke up fans asses, they can continue to lie about the direction of the team among other things, but we're not assholes. We see right through this. We see what's going on. Actions, errr, inactions speak louder than any of that Kool-Aid Sandy Alderson is spewing. Just a smack in the face to Mets fans.

Now we're not saying Mets should've topped the Marlins offer, not at all. But at least make a reasonable offer and make an attempt to retain the most exciting thing we've seen since Piazza was hitting bombs all over Shea Stadium. Simple.

The inaction just proves Mets never had any intentions of resigning Reyes, zilch. We get it, the business of baseball, these things happen and this is just another tick in the history of Mets ownership disaster moves. We've been through worse so this ain't no thang, as they say. We suck for 5 more years and bounce back.

The bigger issue is what's really happening here. We have delusional ownership who think they can compete in this big market considering their circumstances over the past few years. We have ownership that's been lying and feeding Mets fans lip service for quite some time now.

One day it's the one about the Madoff issues not affecting baseball operations. Then it was the lies about the target payroll for this year which gets lower every day it seems.

By February, Alderson provided a range of $130 to $150 million for 2012 payroll. So when Fred Wilpon, crying poverty to Sports Illustrated in May, asserted that the 2012 payroll would be around $100 million, Alderson pushed back, calling $120 million “a fair number.” By September, Alderson had changed his tune, putting the payroll at between $100 and $110 million, though he seemed to draw a line in the sand there, adding that “he couldn't envision a lower number.”

A month later, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reported that Alderson could see payroll starting below $100 million, and that could include amateur draft signings, which, as Rubin pointed out, “you would not lump into the payroll category unless you're trying to inflate that figure and make it appear more palatable to fans.”

Then there's the one about how they are still in the Reyes running and going to make him an offer. Or how they're using tactics like moving the fences in to distract fans from the real issues. But one of the best ones is their denial about rebuilding or just transparency about the state of the team.

One thing is clear, it's time for Wilpon's to sell the team. This is just the beginning of a brutal stretch. In each of the past 3+ treacherous seasons, the subsequent season brought a feeling that 'things can not possibly get worse', and each time they did. This season is no different.

This will be bad, and bad for a long time. I hope I'm dead wrong, but one thing I'm not is stupid.

I will be taking my ass down to South Beach on quick getaways and catching some games down there, seems that's where the action is. And until there's good reason to go to Citi Field again, I won't be spending my money there, and we all have the right to do that.

And don't confuse not spending money on tickets to not being a real fan. That's absurd, one thing has nothing to do with another. I'll go toe to toe with anyone on the Mets 'diehard' meter.

Just another day in Mets world.

Baseball Wives Comes Out Swinging

VH1 adds MLB baseball to the hot mess that is the professional sports wives TV series with Baseball Wives. With Anna Benson on hand to stir things up, this is sure to be a train wreck.

Meet the cast:

Anna Benson
Wife of retired ex-Mets player, Kris Benson, she’s infamous for threatening to sleep with the whole Mets team, from bat boy to owner if Kris ever cheated on her. It looks like she is going to be the firecracker in this bunch of train wrecks. Her ‘I don’t give a fuck’ attitude is sure to cause commotions. She says she’s the most exciting thing to happen to the Mets since 1986. We almost believe her. Mike Piazza might be a close second.

Erika Monroe Williams
Erika, wife of retired All-Star 3B Matt Williams, is like the mother hen of the baseball wives, or as Anna Benson calls her, the ‘Stepford’ wife. A former news anchor and mad control freak who has the power to 86 you from the baseball wife community if she wanted to. She usually hosts mixers for the other wives and girlfriends.

Chantel Kendall
This crackerjack is the ex-wife of Jason Kendall who looks as she’s been around the block one too many times. From the outside looking in, seems as she did one too many lines of cocaine and heroin injections in her day, thus her 20 year battle with drugs. This woman looks frail and weathered, sometimes scary to look at. Her body is deteriorating while her fake tits seem like the only body part that is holding it’s own.But you kind of feel bad for her.

Tanya Grace
This lovable goofball is the ex-wife of retired Mark Grace, and seems to be the likable character of this motley crew.

Brook Villone
She’s the wife of relief pitcher Ron Villone. Unlike most other girls who were golf cart girls, strippers, and in other trashbag jobs, she is a successful model with a drive.Other women hate on her hot looks so we’re sure she’ll be in the middle of some catty shit. She’s definitely a me-me-me-me-me type, stuck up, and it’s all about her. Off the bat, we think she needs a Anna Benson smack down to set her straight.

Jordana Lenz
So remind me why she’s on the show again? Not a wife or ex-wife of any player, she’s a bartender who dated Nyjer Morgan for like 2-days. Her story seems interesting though as she’s been on the receiving end of drinks to the face, girls showing up at her apartment to ream her out, and portrayed as a gold digger within the baseball wife circle.

Episode 1 Highlights

TV Shows - Full Episode Video - Reality TV Shows

Erika Williams hosts an intro mixer for the ladies and instantly gets weirded out by Chantel Kendall and Anna Benson talking raunchy sexual things. We guess she prefers chatting about breaking news or her perfect little life.

They step it up and go out to club Mint. Fighting her demons, Chantel has a hard time staying sober, but prevails this time. Tanya Grace ends up tonguing down some dude. Her pick up line?, “Can I taste your gum?”. It worked.

Anna takes a liking to Chantel’s honesty and openness but quickly calls out Jordana for being a cleat chaser and groupie, claiming “Jordana doesn’t date baseball players, she fucks em”

Jordana goes out to lunch with Brook at the players hotel, sees her ex and gets all emotional. She can’t let go of her 2-day, ok it was really 2-month relationship with Nyjer Morgan. Get over it, he’s definitely banging hotter chicks now and doesn't care about you.

Anna decides to throw a party for Chantel for her new beginning post divorce. Here, Jordana and Anna tell Chantel that Erika has been talking shit behind her back, calling her “bottom of the barrel material.” Some of the girls keep the party going at club Spanish Fly. With a pool in the middle of the club, and no one in it, Jordana strips down to her undies and with flab in tow jumps in. The rest of the girls join in as the party moves to the pool.

The episode ends with Chantel confronting Erika about what she said, an arguments ensues, and leave it to Anna to play cop and attempt to ‘squash’ it.

Next up: Looks like things begin to heat up as Chuck Knoblauch’s wife enters the fray. Apparently, there is malicious history with her and Anna, and it pops off with Anna threatening her not with the stun gun she has in her purse but with a 12 inch dildo.

Sexy Mets Fans: 12 Months of Orange and Blue

12 stunning Mets fans in one place was all we needed to hear. When we found out about the search for sexy Mets fans by The 7 Line for a "12 Months of Orange and Blue" calendar, we had to do our due diligence. This was right up our alley, a match made in heaven.

Props to Darren Meenan, founder of The 7 Line for putting this together. Just think, when the Mets are out of contention two weeks into the 2012 season, at least fans will have something Mets related worth looking at.

We caught up with Darren Meenan, founder of The 7 Line, for this Mets Are Better Than Sex exclusive. Darren gave us the inside scoop on the girls, the calendar, what's in store for The 7 Line looking ahead, and why he thinks Jose Reyes will be a Met come next season.

Oh and if you want to meet the sexy Orange and Blue calendar girls in person, they'll be signing calendars at the release party at McFadden's on Dec 3rd at 9pm, all are welcome.

MABTS: The 12 Months of Orange and Blue calendar girls experience must of been a very hands on project, are these girls legitimate Mets fans or are some of them just posers to be in the calendar? We do know THE calendar girl Tehmeena is a true Mets fan, how about the others?

T7L: I wouldn't say "hands on" unless you're referring to Miss April... that's my girlfriend Kelly. I didn't let that be known at all until after the voting process was over. The last thing I wanted was anyone to think it was a rigged voting system. Any time I promoted the calendar poll and a girls image was used as the thumbnail, I made sure it wasn't one of her. Girls are crazy and all I needed was a group of them (who didn't make it) thinking I rigged the thing. Yea of course Tehmeena is a fan, did you see her Mets tribute video? That's how I even found out about her. She was the first one down to be in the calendar...As for the other girls, I did as much research as I could. I did deny a few after seeing them decked out in Yankees gear in their old Facebook default photos. I wanted every girl to be a Mets fan and luckily the 12 that were picked are true to the Orange and Blue.

MABTS: Could we expect the 12 Months of Orange and Blue calendar a yearly thing for T7L moving forward?

T7L: I hope so! This year is the trial run. I learned a lot and the main thing I need to do in the future is give myself more time. Although I worked on recruiting girls all summer it took a while to get everything finalized and we didn't actually plan the photo shoots until the end of October. Once the photos came back from the photographer I really only had a week to pick the photos to be used of each girl and lay the whole thing out. It's been fun though and the everyone seem really into it. If the demand is there I can see this being a yearly thing for The 7 Line and our fans.

MABTS: We have a Sexy Mets Fans feature on our blog, so we know there are hot Mets fans out there. Was it easy finding the hotties for the calendar, did you have a hard time selecting the finalists? What attributes did you look for?

T7L: Luckily I wasn't given the task of picking anyone for the calendar. There would have been too much favoritism since I did know a few of the girls who tried out. Some of them didn't make it and it wasn't my fault haha. Instead, I let the fans decide. All the photos were posted on the website and a poll was set for a couple weeks. The top 12 girls made it in. The votes were tallied by IP address so that eliminated the girls (or their friends/family) from voting a million times to fluff their count.

MABTS: Something tells us you're just getting started, what can we expect from The 7 Line next season?

T7L: I feel like I don't really have an off season with The 7 Line. There is always work to be done and since I only have one part time employee, the brand pretty much consumes all of my time. I print each shirt by hand, create 90% of the graphics, maintain the Twitter/Facebook accounts and post on the website blog. Right now I am restocking everything for the holiday season and especially preparing for next Fridays sale. I like to call it a "Black Weekend" sale with the best deals starting on Friday. As for next baseball season I just want to stay consistent. The 7 Line has been staying a float although the team has been a let down since the brand began. Since I run everything out of my own print shop I can come up with a new design and print them up at the drop of a dime. I had a shirt that said WHEN IN DOUBT KNOCK EM OUT (with a fist saying KROD on the knuckles) released and printed in less than 12 hours after his arrest. I just want to keep it fun and fresh for the fans who are into what I do.

MABTS: With all the Reyes free agency rumors and rumblings happening, we sense a new T7L shirt is in the works regardless of Reyes leaving or staying, can you give us a sneak peak of what Mets fans can expect in a T7L tee shirt post Reyes free agency?

T7L: I am on the fence about Reyes. For some strange reason I really think he will be a Met next season. I don't have any reasoning behind it, just a feeling in my gut. Call me a naive delusional Mets fan. I think the Marlins offer isn't one he is going to bite on. As for a new t-shirt design regarding Reyes... the past two years I've had an "I Survived..." shirt that I would update at the end of the season. If he goes or stays the 2011 line will be something about him with it saying LGM 2012. If he leaves maybe something like, I survived the bunting NL batting champ. If he stays, something a little more positive.

MABTS: We saw your video about Snooki and yes she is a Mets fan, did she ever 'hit you up' and did you ever send her some tee shirts?
T7L: That's an old video! I posted that on YouTube in early 2010. I randomly found a clip of her online singing that terrible Lucas Prada Mets song (for the 2006 postseason) before she was "famous". These days she still supports the team, although the Mets internet world hates on her every time she surfaces wearing any NYM apparel. As for her and my shirts, she does have some of them. She tweeted about the Mets a few times and I contacted her agent. He told me to send a package and she ended up posting a photo on her twitter holding it and saying something about how she misses Shea Stadium or something. LGM!

There you have it. If you haven't seen T7L tee shirts, check them out, very funny, very witty. And if you're looking to cop one, T7L is having a Black Weekend sale. Just LIKE and FOLLOW T7L on Facebook and Twitter to get the discount codes. Friday is 35% off, Saturday is 25% off and Sunday is 20% off.

Anna Benson Thankfully Resurfaces

No, this is not just an opportunity to check out hot photo's of Anna Benson. This is news our audience cares about. We had a feeling she wasn't done yet. Anna Benson will be featured in VH1's upcoming Baseball Wives. She's now officially outlived her hubby Kris Benson's 15 minutes of fame.

“We are not like the ‘Basketball Wives,’ ” Benson, a former stripper, tells The Post. “We are classy.”

Well that sucks...
On what caused the Mets to trade Kris Benson after one year:

“They were scared of my big fun bags,” she insists. “They were afraid they were too big, and they were going to obstruct the view of the fans seeing the game. Plus they were intimidated by them themselves. So they had to trade him, I guess.”

“I don’t know why you would trade a stud pitcher. I don’t know why it became about me. But it kind of makes me feel good that they were intimidated by me.”

I agree Anna, they were definitely intimidated by you and scared of your perky bags, probably even threatened by you. Though Kris was not a stud pitcher but I get it, got to stick up for your man.

Seinfeld's Dog Jose

Celebrity Mets fan Jerry Seinfeld on David Letterman last night confesses to naming his new Dachshund pup, "Jose". Jose after Jose Reyes.

"You want to know why the dog is named Jose? ... The dog is named Jose because I feel like we may lose Jose Reyes, and we're trying to keep a Jose. Because I'm a Met fan. It's actually my wife's idea, which is why I love my wife -- she comes up with ideas like this. That's a marriage right there, a wife that says, 'Let's name a dog after the Mets' outgoing shortstop.' That keeps the love alive."

That's keeping it real folks...
 
Here's the Letterman clip, fast forward to the 32:00 mark for the part about the Jose the dog..

2012 Mets Uniforms, Black is Out

Blue is the new black.

Mets unveiled the new uniforms today without any traces of black. No more black outline, no more black alternate jersey. The new kits are more of a throwback celebrating their 50th Anniversary.

With that, they also unveiled a new 50th Anniversary logo which will be featured as a badge on the jersey sleeve.

Seems everyone had an issue with the black. Me, not so much, didn't bother me. Though it's good to switch it up every once in a while.

This is all cute and stuff, and probably designed to take the focus off the fact that the Mets, and Sandy Alderson are not doing anything to make this team better.

How about unveiling some new quality players instead of losing them?

What do you guys think of the new uniforms?

Lenny Dykstra and Jose Canseco Mano-a-Mano

This is what I'm talking about. Lenny Dykstra vs. Jose Canseco, mano-a-mano, this Saturday night at the Avalon Hollywood in California.

Definitely something I would pay to see, too bad it's on the wrong coast. If anyone is interested, it's streaming live on FilmOn.com for $20.

The original card was supposed to be Jose Canseco vs Tareq Salahi, the White House party crasher guy. But apparently Lenny Dykstra, still pissed off at Canseco for 'ruining his career' begged Tareq to let him fight in his place. So now Tareq fights Kato Kaelin instead, who was supposed to fight Michael Lohan who backed out. You can't make this shit up.

"Canseco ruined my career by spreading lies. I called Tareq and begged him to let me take his place in the upcoming fight against Canseco," Dykstra said in statement.

I got my money on Dykstra. Canseco might be bigger but Lenny is tough as nails, he's a pit bull and a bigger nut job!

If this isn't good enough, the rest of the fight card gets better. This is quality stuff and probably more entertaining than an actual heavy weight boxing card or present day.

Check out this motley crew line-up:

Jose Canseco vs Lenny Dykstra
Joey Buttafuco vs Mr Amy Fisher
Octomom vs Amy Fisher
Tila Tequila vs Michelle Bombshell
Tareq Salahi vs Kato Kaelin
Coolio vs Jeremy Jackson

Lets Go Mets 80's Flashback Video

Here's a stellar Mets video I came across on this site SnagFilms. The video pays special attention to the 1986 World Series Championship team and highlights the Mets teams of the 80's.

The video gets you pumped right from the get go and kicks off with the "Let's Go Mets" official theme song video. This track went gold and triple platinum, Mets fever at it's highest.

Enjoy...

Easy Home Runs at Citi Field?

Bring in the fences! After all the debate, 2012 will bring new dimensions to Citi Field. No excuses now.

This is all great for the home team, but unfortunately it will be easier for the road team too, which means pitching becomes more important.

By bringing in the fences, Mets find a way to increase revenue as 140 new seats will be added and bring fans closer to the action.

Check out the rendering the Mets released...
