Hey loyal blog subscribers and readers! MetsbloggerGurl here again.
I just wanted to share some key things that really made me cringe as a childhood/teenage Mets fan. It should make you chuckle or groan, depending on what side of the bed you woke up on today.
1. Ollie and Maine Pray for Rain
Oliver Perez and John Maine were GOD AWFUL. It’s like when young me overheard the adults saying Steve Trachsel was a Human Rain Delay.
I seemed to get in a bleh mood whenever those two guys were pitching. That could explain why my bullshit meter is very low as an adult and I have no tolerance for soft pitchers, like Jacob DeGrom.
2. Anna Benson was really wildin back in the day.
If you go to her Wikipedia page, it will explain everything more than I ever could because, it’s A LOT to process on there. In fact, I’ll share a link here, click this.
Former wife of Mets SP Kris Benson in 2004. Anna, a former model and stripper, who met Benson dancing in a night club, dressed in a revealing Mrs Clause outfit for the Mets Christmas party and threatened to “sleep with the entire Mets team” if her husband ever cheated on her.
It wasn’t long before Benson was traded. Hell, I woulda traded him right after the first pitch. Another no name pitcher with a troublesome wife? Not in Queens, New York. Take that elsewhere.
3. Lastings Milledge, Bend Ya Knees rap song, 2007, End of Both rap and playing careers?
Real ones remember former Mets OF Lastings Milledge catching some heat for the rather explicit lyrics in Bend Ya Knees, which was deleted.
Some fans will always appreciate the good chuckles we got out of these situations now. Wasn’t so funny then.
Also. In case you were wondering my decision on player of the month of July, Mets baseball, it’s coming down to two players. The hint to one is in the photo of this post. You’ll have to stay tuned for my final decision, so keep an eye out for my future posts! Have a great day, let’s go Mets!
