Was Ted Lilly in the can or something? I remember in one of Jay Johnstone’s books he told a story about having an awful case of the trots because of some bad Mexican food, and Tommy Lasorda (who was annoyed at him, the two had silly fights from time to time) wanted him to pinch hit. Johnstone cinches up his pants, bolts out to the field, grabs a bat, and then hits a home run.

So was Lilly wearing an undershirt when he returned to the mound?

Interesting that Joe Torre was interviewed about wearing a uniform in the dugout when he himself rarely wears his official jersey. How can they retire his number when he never wears it? If I was in charge, I would mandate that all managers and coaches have to wear a jersey instead of those horrible looking “official” team wear. That goes for you too, Rick Peterson. Wear your jacket if you want, but a jersey better be on underneath!

Torre wears the uniform top about 75% of the time (he was wearing one last night). At least he’s not as bad as Terry Francona, who just wears a big baggy sweatshirt to every game.

Of course, there’s Tom Coughlin’s typically humorless response to the question: “Do I get any extra timeouts or extra points for it?” Coughlin said. “Is there any reason I should do that?”

Boy, the guy must be a barrel of laughs at parties.

Lilly was not wearing an undershirt when he went back to the mound the next inning (5th), because he made the second out, and by the time he got back to the dugout it was almost time to go pitch again. I cant remember if when he came out for the 6th he was wearing an undershirt.

The No Mas Lottery mentioned in yesterdays blog was a big success last night. I walked out with Chris Webber (#18 pick) and Danny Ferry (#96 pick). Great stuff!

You and I will have to agree to disagree. I love the orange undershirts that the some of the Mets wear.[/quote]

The main problem with an orange undershirt is that it’s not a blue undershirt, which is what they should be wearing.

But my comment was more about what was printed ON the undershirts. Who the hell would wear that?[/quote]

As long as they win they can wear link , link or even link on an orange t-shirt if they want to as long as they wear their home cap (all blue) at home and their road cap (black cap / blue brim) on the road and ditch the all black jersey’s.

Francona has link which requires him to wear warm clothing over his jersey. We did get to see his #47–at the ring ceremony.

I agree about what’s on the Mets’ shirts. I’m hoping there’s some inside joke about it. If not then it’s just pathetic.

Kudos to Tessa for exhibiting a new level of uni obsession. Keep the gown closed and get home soon.

I think link at least looks a lot better than link and especially link. I still think it would look way better if he wore the fleece under the jersey, though.

So I went to the IWFL website and looked at the teams. Does the logo for the Southern Maine Rebels

[quote comment=”109953″]I know it’s tradition etc etc etc, but I find managers wearing field uniforms (and cleats!) totally silly. Unless you’re on the 25-man roster, wear street clothes.[/quote]

when did managers start wearing spikes? I know a vast majority wear trainers and turf shoes, but I don’t think spikes would be ideal for walking around in the dugout…

count me as one of those who think baseball managers should wear the jersey and not a jacket/pull-over/sweater.

Just found out that my Alma Mater, Louisiana Tech University, is moving to Nike and will get new unis for this upcoming football season. Fortunatly, they will not be the F-ed up Nike unis, but a Red, White, and Reflex Blue version of LSU’s current Nike unis–which is a style LA Tech has been wearing since before the Blonde Bomber was there. The only drawback is the Swoosh will be on the uniforms now…

I’m sure the men’s and women’s basketball unis will get a makeover, and that sould be interesting…

Jim Leyland’s known for wearing spikes, but there are few, if any, others who do.[/quote]

I, for one, would wear spikes in a dugout. With all that tobacco, saliva and phlegm, I would want the soles of my shoes to be propped up by half an inch with metal blades. If it wasn’t so awkward, I would wear them at work, just to stand infront of the urinals.

Think about it. Your rubber sole is smashing into a puddle that is a petri dish of nasty. You then go home, and tromp around the carpet that your two year old plays on.

No thanks.

Maybe Manny should worry more about going 0-5 and allowing the Sox to get swept by the Mariners than he should about his hair???

SI did a link photo gallery. Included in there is Kent Benson, who while playing for Indiana, made the link in March of ’76. On the cover, we see him scoring against a Marquette guy. This is probably well known among uni-enthusiasts, but look at that Marquette uniform! The way the jersey top hangs, with the yellow piping, rounded along the bottom. The giant number on the front. The Marquette name along the bottom. It’s pretty cool, and yet also sort of ugly (at least in my opinion).

I also am firmly of the belief that baseball managers don’t need to wear double-knit polyester (especially the more rotund of them), but if they must, please ditch the Hefty bag and at least wear the jersey. I don’t like the warm-up look at all.

[quote comment=”109987″]From MLB’s Official Rules of Baseball:

Rule 3.15
No person shall be allowed on the playing field during a game except players and coaches in uniform, managers, news photographers authorized by the home team, umpires, officers of the law in uniform and watchmen or other employees of the home club.

I know it was a rule back in the early days of baseball that the manager had to be in the team uniform, but I can not find a rule that specifically states this. If you read the rule I just stated, only the players and coaches are to be in full uniform, though to step onto the field, you have to be in full uniform. So, managers should be in full uniform to enter the field, but apparently they don’t have to have the jersey on as long as they have the pants?[/quote]

I think you’re reading that wrong. The rule requires players and coaches to be in uniform to be on the field. Managers are no more required to be in uniform than the grounds crew. The rule just allows managers on the field. That’s all it does with regard to them.

What wonderful grammar and spelling in Oden’s post. All graduates of TOSU must be very proud.[/quote]
That’s what I thought. Somebody should ask him wear his new uniform is.[/quote]

Funny, I noticed the spelling and grammar (or lack thereof) too, but what really struck me about the blog (and I read several of the entries) is this: Greg Oden is a young man with extraordinary athletic ability. He has been coached and more than likely has his ass kissed because of it since he was 5 years old. He is about to embark on a career that will provide him and his family financial security in perpetuity. In what has become all too rare an occurrence, he also seems to have none of the sense of entitlement that so many young athletes have today.
Go back to his blog and read the entry about his meeting with Bill Russell, Bill Walton, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing and Bob Lanier. To smack-talk about how he’s going to shatter records and be better than all of those guys (not that anyone will EVER be better than Russell!). Just a sincere appreciation for the time spent and for the opportunity to soak up some knowledge. Also in the entry about his first day in New York, what was the last time you heard an athlete (or any high-profile individual) say a media training session was “fun”.

Greg Oden is a unique talent and a unique individual. Portland, get ready. Something special is coming your way![/quote]

Very good points sir. I have been wanting to pile on Oden too for the poor grammar, etc, and also for the fact that it’s so obvious that college is becoming a one-and-done program. All that talk from Durant and Oden about how “college is great” and “I’m staying all 4 years to win a championship” was BS and we should’ve known it from the start.

But in the end, I can live with all that. I agree that Oden does seem humbled by the greats of the game and he doesn’t feel like he’s the Second Coming and all the NBA teams should bow to him.

And I have a special affinity for the number 52 so maybe I’ll now buy a jersey…

Probably not. The question we have is, what processes do stadiums have to go through when teams redesign their identity? Has anyone had experience with this?

Pittsburgh is a heavy Steelers town and always will be, but could we at least not spell “Panthers” in link Also, each seat has the link on one side and the Panthers logo on the other, which is fair, but now that Pitt has changed their logo, will they have to remold the parts on the seats? Probably not. The question we have is, what processes do stadiums have to go through when teams redesign their identity? Has anyone had experience with this?[/quote]
The Orioles changed their logo since Camden Yards opened, but IIRC they still have the old logo on the seats.[/quote]

I was actually just at Camden Yards for Orioles/Rockies and took a picture of the seats link. Beautiful and classy.[/quote]

The seats at KeySpan Park in Coney Island have a similar design — an old-school ballplayer silhouette with the Dodgers’ “B” on one side and the Mets/Giants “NY” on the other. Can’t find a pic online; will take & post one next time I go…

I am actually surprised Pitt gets as much love as they do at Heinz Field. I am continually amazed that the Steelers let Pitt’s band out on the field in the rain (or at all considering how much use that field sees during football season) when they have a professional football game to play the next day. I am even more surprised that the NFL does not step in and put a stop to it before somebody gets hurt playing NFL football in a sandbox.

Also, the WPIAL playoffs are going to out draw the Panthers this year. Have you seen that home schedule? The highlight is Grambling. Seriously. I think they should put Upper St. Clair’s logo on the seats, and let them play their home games there instead. They might sell more tickets.[/quote]

I’m not sure if they can make the band not march, but since the field annually ranks among the league’s worst, I wouldn’t put it out of the question. Does anyone know if Pitt payed into Heinz Field when it was built? If so, maybe they have a clause or something where they have to let the band out.

Regardless, you’d think they’d at least just spell “PITTSBURGH” in both endzones rather than the crazy crosshatches in the one. I remember when they tried to put the Panther head in the middle on a Saturday and Sunday the Steelers were playing on a field that you could still see it underneath.

Here’s one for link. I wonder who owns it?

There have been a few T-Day games where both teams have work dark-colored throwback unis, but they’ve always been different colors; Patriots-Lions (red vs. blue) and the Bears-Cowboys game you mentioned (orange vs. blue) immediately leap to mind. They couldn’t very well do that, though, if both teams had blue jerseys.

The whole white-vs.-dark color thing is a product of the TV era; in the old days you’d see red-vs.-blue or somesuch all the time. Early black & white TVs obviously could not show that, hence one team would always wear white. There’s really no significant need for it anymore, so long as the jersey colors are sufficiently different to be distinguishable; in a Raiders-Steelers, Jets-Packers, Chiefs-49ers or Patriots-Cowboys game, for instance, one team would have to wear white.

[quote comment=”110139″]While normally I find myself agreeing with you Mr. Met, I find myself compelled to ask in this instance why you’re the arbiter of what’s relevant to talk about on this site all of the sudden? I think undershirts, whether you can see what’s written on them or not, are certainly part of the uniform (as per the Ted Lilly section of the blog this morning or as per the fact that Justin Morneau wears a hockey t shirt–a Canucks shirt I think–under his uniform). And that several of the Mets wore an orange t shirt with a clown on it is certainly noteworthy based upon that criteria.[/quote]

“Arbiter of Relevance”? I like the sound of that!

When someone tells me that I’m missing the point and that they are admiting to being a bunch of clowns, I fail to see what that has to do with the uniforms. I feel this whole “issue” is one of the message on the shirt and not how it affects the aesthetic of the uniform; it couldn’t possibly be an aesthetics issue, because the message on the shirt doesn’t interfere with the aesthetics of the uniform on the field. All you see is a 1-inch sliver of orange at the top of the uniform, which they have been doing now for over 20 years.

I thought that saying “to me, this is not uni-related” would show that I think it’s not uni-related; your mileage may vary. But my question is this, and no one has answered it yet: You can’t see what’s on their undershirts. It doesn’t interfere with the uniform. Orange is a color that the Mets have worn underneath their jerseys in the past, going back at least 20 years. So what does a clown graphic, that you can’t see, that is under their jerseys, that is not interfering with the uniform, have to do with the Mets’ uniforms? How is it affecting the aesthetics of their uniforms? That’s all I’m asking.
