This was the jersey I submitted for the @the7linearmy Season Ticket Holder Jersey Contest.

It didn't win but I at least got to design the ones for the QBC... 

Sandy regrets not signing #Imwith28

@metspolice is probably looking smug right now.

From the NY Post

Sandy Alderson has a new job, joining his protégé Billy Beane in Oakland this week as the Athletics’ senior adviser to baseball operations, but there’s a decision during his tenure as the Mets general manager that still bothers him.

“The one thing I regret — and I told him this — was not signing Daniel Murphy,’’ Alderson said by phone Friday. “We’ve kept in touch. He’s a great person and a really good player.”

At the time, the Mets were coming off their first World Series appearance in 15 years and they got there largely thanks to Murphy’s bat. Murphy finished the regular season on a tear and was named NLCS MVP.
Instead of bringing Murphy back on a long-term deal, the Mets acquired Neil Walker and a disappointed Murphy — who had hoped to stay in Queens — went to the Nationals for three years and $37.5 million.

He’s a very good player and an excellent offensive player,’’ Alderson said. “We made him a qualifying offer and he signed a multi-year deal elsewhere. I don’t think we predicted him sustaining that level of performance and he didn’t end up being part of our strategy. But I applaud him for what he’s done. I’d like to have that one back.’’

Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen to sit with the @the7linearmy during Subway Series

There is definitely a culture change going on in the front office of the Mets. You guys can crap on the Mets about this but it seems like they are starting to get that the fans should be treated better. From things I am hearing and seeing behind the scenes it looks legit. They really want fans to feel like they matter and not just money coming into the ballpark. How quickly the changes are made is a totally different story but at least they are trying. 

I wrote a post earlier this week that I got to meet Brodie. He is a very engaging person. Easy to talk to and you can tell he wants this organization on and off the field to stop being a joke. He wants to show fans that the team cares about them on and off the field. I have heard things about other members of the organization want to change the culture too.

I have always had a fan advocacy voice since I've been blogging. First it was Metspolice and and for the last few years it has also been with this blog here. I am a part of something behind the scenes with the Mets on a volunteer basis and it shows that the Mets want to listen to the fans and try to make things better.

Brodie sitting with the 7line is a great way of showing how the culture is changing. I like it....

Why no backpacks @Nationals?

Why not? Why is a laptop sling / briefcase better then a backpack?
