Make it Work! The Jacqueline Miranne Interview

Thu, 01/31/2008 - 3:00am — mbtn01

in Victorya's doomed denimAs part of the preparation for the new launch of mbtn.net and the release of the Mets by the Numbers book, I went and gathered some dynamite celebrity interviews with folks with opinions on the Mets, Mets history and/or Mets uniforms that we will be running periodically.

Jacqueline Miranne may not be a household name (yet!) but you may recognize her face. The 21-year-old fashion model and aspiring television personaility has been appearing on your TV every Wednesday as a model on Bravo TV’s fabulous fashion competiton, Project Runway.

Welcome Back (again)

Wed, 01/30/2008 - 11:32am — mbtn01
If you're just arriving from metsbythenumbers.com, or from the new links, welcome to the "new" MBTN.net. While there is still some work to do on navigating to old posts, arranging the roster in date view, and re-entering some of the old features and photos, the site is back to stay in this form and at this address. If you registered at the old site I'm afraid you will have to re-register here. Sorry it took so long. As discussed below, we'd made good progress toward a new site a year ago, but junked it when it didn't work as well as I'd have liked it to.

Take note of the poll beneath the links on the left column, a new link above for the upcoming Mets by the Numbers book, and of course the alphabetical and numerical rosters that include all players, coaches and managers in Mets history. The small rectangles beneath the copy categorize stories by subject, and the green "read more" rectangle means there's more to read (duh).

Eric Valent No Longer Greatest 57 in Mets History

Tue, 01/29/2008 - 5:40pm — mbtn01

Yes, so you may have heard the Mets went and acquired this Johan Santana fellow from the Twins for a package of four prospects: Outfielder Carlos Gomez and pitchers Phillip Humber, Kevin Mulvey, and Deolis Guerra.

And although the Mets will assuredly sign to Santana to an absurd contract extension, this deal right now looks remarkable for how little blood was spilled. Gomez, though he showed flashes of ability and a "good baseball body," proved in a limited engagement last season that he probably needs a year at AAA. Mulvey looks to be midddling starter material, not to belittle the value of averageness from young pitchers. Humber and Guerra are lottery tickets: Humber because he still needs to regain his stuff following Tommy John surgery; and Guerra because he's in A ball and anything can happen.

...and we're back

Sun, 01/27/2008 - 10:41pm — mbtn01

Well that didn't take long, did it now.

After 10 months in the shop, mbtn.net is back and rebuilt behind a new power plant -- a database referencing every instance a player was in uniform for the Mets.

This new tool has re-organized the guts of the site so as to allow for references by number, by name, or by date. It integrates the the all-time numerical roster with the content of the site, bringing some much-needed organization and improved accuracy to the world's first and only rundown of every player in Met history and the number they wore in their moment.

The site is live now at its signature address, mbtn.net as well as at metsbythenumbers.com, the alleged "temporary site" that went up last spring while the old site went down for repairs.
