Last night, former Mets’ righthander Dwight Gooden tossed out the idea of coming up with a nickname for current great righthander Matt Harvey. Doctor K suggested we go with Matt “The Real Deal” Harvey. As is usually the case when I get inspired, I immediately took to Photoshop and went straight to work and this is what I came up with. Hey Matt… This one’s for you…. MATT-TASTIC! Matt Harvey hurled a career-high 8.0 innings yesterday [...]

I’m at a loss for words. Made this today for you, Gary. Rest in peace Kid. This is one of the first graphics I ever made for MMO. I’ll miss you, kid. In 2010, I designed this for our MMO T-shirt Shop. I made Retire 8 Buttons too. I hope this happens. We are going to donate $2.00 from every Retire 8 T-shirt we sell to the Gary Carter Foundation.

No Met ever swiped more bases or had more triples. His enthusiasm, passion and love for the game was infectious and Mets fans loved him from the word go. Reyes was electric on the basepaths and [...]

Last night while speaking to Joe, he said something that really struck a chord with me. “Wouldn’t it be awesome if Terry Collins would let Beltran play his final days as a Mets in centerfield for old time’s sake?” How awesome would that be? Do it Terry, do it! Here are the first of some new Carlos Beltran graphics I designed last night in celebration of Carlos Beltran Appreciation Week at Mets Merized Online. Enjoy them! Move over Angel, [...]

This afternoon, NL manager Bruce Bochy announced that Mets right fielder Carlos Beltran will start as the National League’s designated hitter and bat second in the All Star Game. “I like the fact that he is a switch hitter,” Bochy said of Beltran during the All-Star Game press conference. “He gives you another dynamic in that two hole, which will help us.” In 89 games this season, Carlos Beltran is batting .285 with 13 home runs, 52 runs scored and [...]
