Mr. Met, overcome by emotion at Thursday night's press conference
Mr. Met, the beloved New York mascot, has been diagnosed with stage four brain cancer. The malignant brain tumor at the base of his frontal lobe, which is the about the size of a beach ball, has gone unnoticed since 1963, when he was introduced as the Mets’ mascot.
Though Mets’ fans and employees have reacted with disbelief, Doctor James Andrews, who diagnosed Mr. Met, claims the cancer was blatantly obvious and should not have gone untreated for this long. “Come on, the massive swelling in his head, the crude red stitches keeping his face face together, his complete inability to speak, how did nobody catch this earlier?”
In show of respect for their mascot, the Mets made a concerted effort not to get any hits in Friday night’s 1-0 loss to the Giants. “We were trying not to hit the ball because it reminds us too much of Mr. Met’s head. It had nothing to do with the fact that [Barry Zito's] stuff was nasty,” explained Mets’ captain David Wright.
This comes in the wake of another tragedy, when Mr. Met’s NL East rival, the Philly Phanatic, was diagnosed with terminal radiation poisoning.

Skip Hop Studio Diaper Tote Tote is awesome.So numerous wallets – and not those little, worthless pockets, either. All of the actual pockets tend to be a wonderful size and seriously aid keep everything organized. The handles are a wonderful length and fit nicely over the actual shoulder; the handle straps also stay put on my own arm, which is actually important when you’re transporting a newborn. The handbag looks wonderful, as well. Not too fancy, but not too casual. (I have it in black) The material is soft (can’t believe of a far better word) so it is uncomplicated to squeeze in to tight spaces – but yet it’s sturdy. I’ve a Fleurville Lexi tote and I adore it, as well, but this tote is actually type of rigid. I assume that Skip*Hop will become my daily bag. It’s a bit big – so if you’re not in to substantial totes this may perhaps be better as an over-night diaper tote.
