No. 1 Mr. Met is currently taking on No. 8 Homer the Brave, at Homer Derby, in the first round of the MLB Mascot Bracket.
…as of now, Mr. Met is losing to Homer…of course, only 21 people have voted…
…i try not push these sorts of tournaments, etc., but i can’t stomach the thought of Mr. Met losing to a Braves mascot who is clearly ripping him off, you know, with the big head and all…way to be original, Atlanta…
…so, head over to Homer Derby and vote for Mr. Met, if for no other reason than for this, this, this, and this, and the countless other things he does to make him the greatest mascot ever…

that didn’t take long…85-15% with 85 votes in
Mr. Met has a bigger head than Homer the Brave. “Nuff said.
“Homer the Brave” is a name that could apply to any of their broadcasters.
Hahaha
i didn’t even know that stupid rip-off Braves mascot had a name. if i were him, i’d prefer nothing over “homer the brave.” how lame. suck on that, ATL.
Mr Met getting flashed for beads – PRICELESS!
I’m surprised one of th epolitical parties hasn’t tried to hijack Metsblog. Istant votes for anything, as soon as Matt tells people where to go to vote!
Shouldn’t their mascot be a Native American holding the scalp of the Englishman who infected him with smallpox and stole his land? Isn’t that what the mindless Tomahawk Chop is all about?
Yes, but they stole that from Florida State who has always done it at football games (Thank Deion Sanders for that).
333 votes… 95% to 5% now.. haha!
Over a thousand — Mr. Met with a precarious 96 percentage point edge. SHOW SOME LIFE, PEOPLE!!!!
We aren’t the only one, you all should check out Mr. Red of Cincinnati. I think they’re all generic mascots.
Yes but Mr. Redlegs dates back to the 1960s, they brought him back to their uniform and as a live action mascot a few years ago. Homer the Brave is a blatant ripoff of Mr. Met.
Mr. Redlegs was decapitated a few weeks ago in a terrible 3 wheeler accident on the warning track. Hopefully the reattachment surgery went well. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Redlegs family.
96% Mr Met.
Wow. Matt, you really have pull! Watch out, Colbert Nation!
AND BECAUSE HE IS SIMPLY THE BEST….AHHH MR. MET- OH HOW WE HEART YOU!
Mr. Met is running away with it now, 97%!!!
To be fair, the Mets copied the design of Mister Met from the Reds. But the Mets were the first team to have a live, costumed mascot. You make the call.
The Reds? Ha! Bunch of commies. Mr. Met is a true blue American!
True, I mean, if it came down to voting between Mr. Met and Mr. Red. I might have to vote for Mr. Red… I mean come on…. he has a handle bar mustache!
Haha this is a massacre… i’m willing to bet once most readers saw that Matt said, “as of now, Mr. Met is losing to Homer…” they reacted much like I did. “Hell no, where’s that link… (click)”
Haha! Exactly! For some reason, when I saw that, I got so mad I didn’t even know the Braves had that stupid poser mascot.
Do we expect anything less from a team that has a fan base that can’t even sell out a playoff game?
The most recognizable attribute to the Brave fan base is the tomahawk chop, and they stole that from Florida State.
Passionless and front running, Brave fans are worthless.
Come on man don’t be like that, you’re finally beating us at something. Be Happy.
It’s amazing how quickly you beat us at traffic, but since you don’t go to your sports teams’ games, it begs the question just where are all of you going? Klan meeting? Dukes of Hazzard at the drive-in? Dog fight?
I am happy, especially when I speak the truth.
Agruabley, one of the worst fan bases in sports.
GravediggerHebner & Castillo643 I’m glad both of you brought this up. First of all I do go to games to support Atlanta’s pro teams. Regarding Gravedigger’s klan jab, Atlanta’s mostly black and as a black male I would not let those clowns intimidate me. So let me get this straight, Vick killing dogs means that all of Atlanta take part in that. Using your logic I would say that all of New York take part in cockfights, am I right? Spare me on his DR culture they’re (MV and PM) both wrong and we all know better. Castillo643, say you moved down to Atlanta, would you all of a sudden become a Bravo fan? I didn’t think so. ATL has large numbers of people moving in and out of the city daily, so why would they start liking the Braves? Have you ever wondered why whenever we play the NY teams, Boston, the Chi teams , and the Cali teams that Turner Field is mostly the opposing team. There’s hope though, my parents are tranplants and I am the only Bravo fan in my home (mom likes the Yanks and my father loves the Reds);I think when the other transplans have their children they’ll grow up to be Braves fans or at least half of them. Don’t forget that the majority of the people here grew up with college football but I like pro sports more than college. Lastly, I didn’t grow up South Atlanta where and I didn’t grow up with any hicks. Y’all should know that redneck/hicks love being isolated and they hate change/growth, so they hate Atlanta too.Was this too long.
Lastly, I didn’t grow up South Atlanta where and I didn’t grow up with any hicks.
Typo, I meant to say I did grow up in South ATL and didn’t grow up with the hick and rednecks. You just saw the darkside of multitasking.
Did 2006 and 2007 not happen?
I don’t want to sound crass CharlieH, but upsets do happen. The Braves have been good for as long as I can remember (born in1986), so 2007 will happen sometimes congratulations on 2006, though.
You sound like a typical Yankee fan….only with them, at least they have the championship banners to back it up….
Atlanta still sucks.
Cyclone, you’re right we should have more championships than one. I know we choked, but if we “still” suck were does that leave your team. This isn’t a jab at all, so don’t take it as one. Yankee fans are cool with me, I live with one so they’re no problem with me. Listen man I only knew a handful of Mets fans growing up, so I am trying to get over my Bravo bias.
the rout is on — less than an hour later the vote total is up to 758 and Mr. Met leads 98-2!
Go Mets!
How lame is Homer the Brave? Sheesh. Anybody remember Chief Knockahoma? Or remember when John Stearns tackled him? Anybody?
yah i remember and i remember the Stearns incident… he tackled him on the way to his teepee in LF… whatever happened to Chief KnockAHoma anyway? guess he got too politically incorrect.
OK,
1,038 votes in and it’s Mr. Met with 98%, Homer The Goober 2%…
In Atlanta, “Homer the Brave” are the last 3 words of the national anthem.
GravediggerHebner the only ones in ATL who conclude with the national anthem by saying “Homer the Brave” were born before 1975, Atlanta’s much to transient to be a brute-run city. My folks in Cincinnati would spit on mr.met.
Mr Met Dancin to Jay Z at an Indian Wedding is priceless… I wonder how much it costs to get him to do an appearance
I thought the Braves mascot ought to be an egg with a couple of shoes.
It would be but they’re still sitting next to that rooster waiting for him to lay an egg.
Up to 99% with over 1200 vote in!!
What happened to the Homer Derby site? I think we wrecked it!
I’m not surprised that another organization took something from the NY Mets and currently uses it on a daily basis as if they’re the originator.
For example, in addition to the cloning of Mr. Met who I’d like to call Larrrrrryyyyyyy — has anyone else noticed the use of, “Everybody Clap Your Hands,” (CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP)???
The NY Mets started the preceding chant, and now you can hear it across the MLB – AND – with other sports!
Unbelievable.
Haha, I pretty much knew what two of those videos were before I even clicked the link. That wedding appearance is the coolest thing, and his SNY commercial hiding in the stands with the gun is hilarious. That Braves mascot deserves this beatdown we’re giving him, both because of how terrible he is and how awesome Mr. Met is.
It’s now 99% to 1% . . . us.
Ha. A surprise to go vote for Mr. Met and see myself there with him!
