Update: It's official. I don't believe the Mets that the natural color is from 1962 ... It's an open secret that next year the Mets will have a cream-colored version of the pinstripes uniform, though reports are all over the map about whether the white pinstripes will still exist and whether the annoying black drop shadow will remain in either or both ... Like a lot of things the Mets have done in the last year or so, most significantly the big new mostly but not completely great stadium they

Not far from here, Citi Field sits empty, as we’ve known it would for months now. The team that calls it home had the kind of year that makes you want to sleep with the light on. The people who run the baseball operations had a worse one ... Given that, it’s a bit complicated answering what should be a simple question: How was Citi Field’s first year? ... For example, we don’t really know what Citi Field feels like with a huge, revved-up crowd making noise inside it. The Mets’

The never-say-die Mets didn't say die until the ninth in the afternoon portion of Sunday's quasi-doubleheader. But their offense failed to come to life in any tangible way until the eighth, so the late-inning heroics effect that proved so popular the day before was kind of dimmed and doomed ahead of time ...
