We are pumped that baseball is back underway for 2013. More specifically, we are more excited that Fantasy baseball is back.
After being league champion last year (and three of the last four years), we expect good things. And, we’ve already started off on the right foot.
Because crunching numbers all day long for fun is WAY better than sitting in a hot stadium watching a boring game with a bunch of drunks and kids all around…
We came across the world’s worst multitasker while at the New York Mets game on Sunday.
While the above photo was taken as officials were finalizing the field before the start of the game, this man continued to watch and listen to the INDY 500 during the first three innings as we sat behind him (we got up and went elsewhere due to the heat). The dude spent money to sit at a baseball game and watch another sporting event altogether. Worst multitasker ever!
Or, this could simply be proof that Major League Baseball is too boring to watch…
Today the New York Mets held Banner Day for the first time since 1996. We lined up with several hundred other fans and marched around Citi Field with banners for the fun of it and to compete for the chance to win a trip to Spring Training 2013. Here is the winning banner.

We must admit that the winning banner is a great banner, and that the two runner ups, along with scores of other banners were all great banners as well.
What strikes us most about this banner isn’t that it was better than others. What strikes us most is that this banner exploits the memories of 9/11 to win a prize. Not only that, but the four official judges and the many fans who voted for this banner to win via text message were easily exploited by their memory of 9/11 to allow these people to win a prize.
So, add another asterisk to the history books regarding 9/11: nearly 3,000 people died in terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Countless others have died after the original deaths were exploited for war, greed and stupidity. And now, two people are going to Spring Training thanks to successfully exploiting the tragedy as well.
Exploitation… C’est la vie.
With the New York Mets being four games above .500 this season, it’s looking to be a successful season, which is something that couldn’t be said in many years due to Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel screwing up the team more and more with each passing minute. But Sandy Alderson and Terry Collins have been trying to fix their inherited mess for over a year now, and it’s clearly getting better. There’s hope for the team full of young men who want to play, who play hard and who want to win. But we think that there’s another secret reason for the success: the Mets have finally decided on an Official Cheez Doodle!
Yes, the secret to success in all aspects of life is knowing who you have as an Official Cheez Doodle. I can haz cheez doodle!
It’s Cinco de Mayo today, so if you’re a 20-something with unchecked alcoholic tendencies, by all means go bananas today.
Not that you need encouragement. Cinco de Mayo is all the excuse you need to binge your life away, which is in addition to the NHL playoffs, NBA playoffs, May baseball, and don’t forget, Mother’s Day!
