Well, rumor has it Maine likes dressing up….
1d10t
are you sure Maine isn’t coming dressed as Mrs. Claus?
idi0t
You beat half the blogosphere to that one.
Also, it’s all fun and games to make light of these ridiclulous rumors (because, man, wouldn’t it be funny if it were true?, etc.), but this is how these ridiculous allegations can dog a player for years — comics, professional or amateur — just can’t let it go.
If it were true, your sn would take on a whole new meaning. hehehehe
Ikes.
Yet another reason to be in Maine’s corner.
oh man, let the jokes roll…
Clearly, Maine will be borrowing Anna Benson’s outfit from 2 years back.
lololol!
John Maine has really taken over Kris Benson’s role
…will Duque be playing the elf? (as he was picked up as a sidekick in the same sequence of trades)
I wonder if they will ask Maine about these rumors so he can set the record straight. I wonder if anyone will keep a straight face while discussing it…
Haha! Poor Maine. He’ll be the butt of a thousand jokes over this black dress thing. He does seem to have a good sense of humor though.
As for him dressing up, when they were on the tour of Japan, he dressed up in full samurai costume and it was pretty funny. So maybe he does like dressing up!
samurai costume?
any links to pics?
Take a look, it’s pretty funny:

It’s a good thing Rubin has archive links at his blog or I would never have been able to find it this easily.
puhahahaha
thanks for the link.
If you click on the pic at Rubin’s blog, an even larger size comes up.
I had forgotten all about Maine’s prior dress up escapades in Japan until I saw this bit about him playing Santa Claus. He certainly is adventurous, isn’t he. LOL.
As long as it’s a samurai and not a geisha
I know this is supposed to be about Maine and his many dress up tendencies, but I found the second to last picture in that link to be pretty interesting (the MLB group shot)….look at how much the Giants home uniform stands out amongst the other teams, who all wear pretty much the same shade of white. I never noticed that before.
gomets, maybe they forgot to separate the lights from the darks when they laundered his uniform? :smile:
I’m surprised you even noticed.
In other news, why is Perez stuck being an “elf”? Did they draw straws, or is this CONCLUSIVE PROOF that Maine is ahead of Perez in the rotation???!?!?!**
**yeah, I know. I’m not being serious.
What a deal that Benson trade was – Maine replaces Kris AND Anna Benson, while the Julio/El Duque aspect is just a bonus.
Santa Dress joke was a softball.. funny though
But seriously.. if you are superstitious.. the Mets Santa has not had much luck
Benson, Cameron, .. who else? i seem to remember a running joke that whoever dresses up as santa gets traded
I think Wright broke the curse last season.
Although, he did have a pretty rough start…
Wright broke the curse last year . . .
thats a relief.. hate to see Maine go.. even if he does were womens clothes.
Man … as soon as I saw this post I knew the jokes were going to be flying. Which one will go longer, this one, or the 10 minute joke? LOL
the 10 minute joke definitely has more staying power.
hey – did anyone here the john maine likes to dress in women’s clothes? LOL – WEIRD. now he wants to dress as santa? haha, crazy john maine. ROTFLMAO!!!
Almost makes you want another “Gosh, we just don’t know what’s happening with Santana” post.
Anna Benson looks better.
I told you you were smart!!!!
She is also more annoying.
I wonder if Ollie is going to jump over the velvet ropes every time he ushers a kid to Santa’s lap.
hahahaha
that is actually a good one, unlike the other hackneyed crap here
whats hackneyed mean?
by the way, did you here about john maine’s favforite song?
it’s Dude Looks Like a Lady, by Aerosmith!
LOL
Hey, if Maine wants to dress up in women’s clothes. Fine, as long as he pitches like the last kinky guy we had in the clubhouse… David Cone
The Second Spitter??? very clever screen name ……
Mr. Spock would never spit……
Roger McDowell?!?! It WAS you by the gravelly road!!
he mustve been angry about that beer i poured on him
http://blogs.nydailynews.com/mets/archives/3rdgfranton.jpg
can we just sign her or is it a package deal?
Lets see Trachsel, Franco and Benson got traded or cut after playing Santa or his jolly helpers. Is this a subliminal message by the wilpons that one of these guys might be moved?
PS: The John Maine comments are tacky and classless…we are met fans and are better than that!
tacky and classes is when john maine wore a white dress after labor day. how gauche!
LOL
Rahijo61, David Wright was Santa last year, with Willie as his “helper” (I think that was the case, I know Willie was there dressed up)…neither of them are going anywhere anytime soon. I think they are using guys they KNOW won’t go away now :D
Now that Maine’s taken such an active role with the organization, maybe they can start selling shirts and jersey’s with his name on it? Maybe? Same with Perez.
It has nothing to do with ‘class’ or anything that makes the Yankees successful, business wise, it’s that they know how to market their product. They’ve had Hughes and Chamberlain shirts for months.
Ceetar – say it louder! I need to get my Oh Pea t-shirt next year…truth be told, you can find Maine shirts, I’ve seen them…only probs is they sell out. QUICKLY. They’ve had Alou shirts since he was signed basically, yet he was out for 2/3rds of the season. Maine and Pea will be around for a long time, mark my words.
