Happy Saturday #MetsSky! Why not grab some coffee and start off the weekend by reading about how the #Mets were "not bluffing" about wanting C Jonathan Lucroy in 2016? The rumored demand for him was quite high...

I buy the #Mets team set every year and while I think this year's design is better than some recent ones, I still love the 2003 design. It just screams *baseball card* to me.

Saw this New York Post back page posted on Facebook. I wrote about the #Mets and Barry Zito saga in July! (Pretty good back page, IMO)

The "Put It In The Books" front page is perfect. A contender for the wall of framed front pages for sure.

Baseball related: My Mets Bible by Evan Roberts was a nostalgia trip for me, someone who also grew up scoring games.

Not baseball related... But the Red Rising books are amazing.
