According to the Marketing Arm’s Davie Brown Index, Mr. Met is the Top Sports Mascot of 2008, beating out the Phillie Phanatic and Wally the Green Monster, among others, for the top spot.
In a report for Forbes about the results, Tom Van Riper says, “Perhaps it’s an omen that things will improve for New York in 2009.”
Speaking of awards…
For the third year in a row, David Wright is the winner of the Fan Friendly Award from I Love My Team, beating out Jeff Francoeur, Jason Giambi, Lyle Overbay and Vance Wilson.
…by the way, i do not reference I Love My Team enough… Johanna Wagner does a great job with it, and i apologize for not linking to her more, mostly because she does not have permalink posts or an RSS feed… but, that’s really no excuse, because it’s still an informative site… keep up the great work, johanna…

Congrats Mr. Met! Now, try and get that other carttoonish figure with a big head, Mr. Minaya, to earn some reward this year.
lmao..
Mrs.Met would be so proud…
Slow news day anyone?
She is.
Well, that makes up for the last two years. Go Mr. Met!
GO ME

LMAO!.. very good
best news so far
“Heilman should thrive back in the starting role”
- strange logic with no explanation from her… We’ll see him adequitly fill the 5th spot in their rotation and likely move to the pen at some point in the season.
Maybe we should have the Metsblog awards?
ha.. what awards should we give out??
i am domincan born, but i gotta tell you i am amazed at all the good things wright does outside of the baseball world for the community, as long as he is a good person he’ll be love here in NY for being a great humanitarian.. just don’t hit .243 with RISP again david ok..
Take that, Phillies fans! Your team may have a World Championship, but our mildly retarded mascot is better than your mildly retarded mascot!
LadyMet disapproves of the “retarded” labels. Even as she approves of the sentiment.
Vance Wilson is still playing?
I liked him when he was a Met.
