New York, N.Y.-
After a high level meeting with myself and a long winter to ponder the upcoming season, it’s time to reveal this year’s unofficial, incredibly biased, unscientific, NY Mets' slogan. Like the snow melting, blossoms, well… blossoming and spring training ending, every March thoughts turn to those lovable Mutts and their quest to relive the glory of ’86.
The list of slogans dates back to the ’87 season, when the denizens of Shea dreamed of a repeat. Rex’s record keeping was a bit shaky back then and billions of brain cells have been sacrificed in the interim but to the best of my recollection the annual entries are as follows:
The 1987 Mets - Dwight missed the Parade? It’s OK, he’ll be fine!
The 1988 Mets - Amazin’…Again!
The 1989 Mets - The Juan Samuel Era begins!
The 1990 Mets - Watch Gregg crow, Mackey throw, and El Sid grow!
The 1991 Mets - The Magic is back...Again!
The 1992 Mets - We might be old, but at least we’re brittle!
The 1993 Mets - Hardball is Back! So are firecrackers and bleach!
The 1994 Mets - God I hope there’s a strike!
The 1995 Mets - The Bill Pulsipher Era begins!
The 1996 Mets - They gotta nice little ballclub!
The 1997 Mets - Days of Whine and Rojas!
The 1998 Mets - There’s something brewing out in Queens!
The 1999 Mets - No Slogan here… I actually liked that team.
The 2000 Mets - They’re Championship Caliber and Piazzarific!
The 2001 Mets - The Timo Perez Show!
The 2002 Mets - Come for the baseball, stay for the losing!
The 2003 Mets - Mo Vaughn, we hardly knew ya!
The 2004 Mets - At least we’re not the Expos!
The 2005 Mets - Come out to Shea, the world’s largest urinal!
The 2006 Mets - A nice story’s about to be written!
The 2007 Mets - Put up or shut up!
And the unofficial slogan for this year’s squad…
The 2008 Mets - They can’t POSSIBLY choke this one away!

| If you're going to do it, do it right. Your research should have gone further back and been a leat somewhat accurate. What about "The Magic Is Back" or some of the biggies for the lousiest teams? |

| Matts, you should have a contest to come up with this year's slogan. Rex, you are funny but I agree with Nick C... Do your homework! |

| What, you got bored of astronauts, Rexy? You can make fun of the slogans and say what you want but the team does look solid. |

Rex for the record, Detroit is still the world's largest urinal.
As for the 2008 Mets Slogan, here's what I would like to see:
"bleep You Philly, bleep you Yankees, Go to Hell Braves." |
