Hello and happy Thanksgiving, Mets fans! This is Joey Beartran, and I'm here with my sister, Iggy Beartran. On this special holiday, we're not going to criticize anything the Wilpons have done over the years, or ponder why Chris Young (the batter) was a horrible acquisition last season or why Chris Young (the pitcher) won the Comeback Player of the Year award AFTER he left the Mets.
Iggy and I are thankful for many things that happened to us in 2014 and we'd like to share those things with you on this most American of holidays. It's not a particularly long list, so you can read it during halftime of the Bears-Lions game or Cowboys-Eagles affair. At the very least, you can take your time to read it after eating a plate full of stuffing and cranberry sauce. And by taking your time, I mean enough time so we can come over and help ourselves to your leftovers.
Enjoy your holidays, everyone!
Joey: I'm thankful for my sister, Iggy. Without her in my life, going to Mets games - both at home and on the road - wouldn't be nearly as much fun.
Iggy: You're so sweet, Joey. I'm thankful for you as well. I love to going to games with you at Citi Field, but I also enjoy visiting other ballparks with you, so we can sample the delicious ballpark food and drink together.

| Chicken tenders and garlic fries. Now THAT'S something we'd like to see at Citi Field. |
Joey: I'm thankful the Mets are making a sincere attempt to be relevant in 2015. After six straight seasons of sub-.500 baseball, it's great to know that Michael Cuddyer and hopefully other proven winners are going to be wearing Mets uniforms next year.
Iggy: I'm also thankful the Mets are trying to win games next year. Maybe that will make lines at Shake Shack in Citi Field shorter because Mets fans would rather stay in their seats watching games instead of spending several innings waiting to order their tasty burgers.

| Michael Cuddyer checks the line at Shake Shack. If he does well, we might have shorter waits there. |
Joey: I'm very thankful that several Mets killers are no longer in the NL East. Jason Heyward has moved from Atlanta to St. Louis, while Adam LaRoche has departed from the Nationals to the White Sox, who are not even on the Mets' schedule next year.
Iggy: I'm more thankful that Cole Hamels in still on the Phillies. That way the Mets can continue to beat that ugly ass on his ... uh ... ugly ass.
 |
| Even Cole Hamels himself thought that was funny. Just look at those choppers. |
Joey: Finally, I'm thankful that Austin Mahone will not be performing at Citi Field in 2015. Just having all those screeching young girls drowning me out when I was trying to start a "Let's go Mets" chant was very disenchanting. They almost made me lose my appetite for those delicious bacon, cheddar and scallion fries from Box Frites.
Iggy: I'm actually thankful for Austin Mahone fans. Because anyone that can make Joey lose his appetite at any time just means more fries for me!

| Bacon and cheddar and fries, oh my! |
That's the end of our special Joey and Iggy Thanksgiving post. Thanks bunches for taking the time to read what we were thankful for this year. Feel free to share what you're thankful for in the comments section. Or if commenting on blog posts aren't your bag, then take another bag and fill it up with your leftover turkey, stuffing and assorted pies. That's our bag!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! And thanks so much for your continued support!
LET'S GO METS!!
