...And The Winner Is: STUDIOUS METSIMUS

There you have it! It's a new era in Mets blogging, as Studious Metsimus has arrived! A new name, a new look, a new banner (...and what a gorgeous banner it is! I needed something that beautiful SOONER than later!)

This site has changed its name more times than Prince. We used to be known as "Zombies and Comics and Bears...Oh My!", then came "It's A Mets Mets Mets Mets World", followed by fifteen minutes of another name that I will not write here because silly me didn't notice that someone else already had that name.

However, I had brains on my mind and "Ed's Smart-Ass Mets Site" wasn't very kid-friendly, so I was thinking for a moment while watching the Mets game. I felt an itch on my brain so I decided to scratch my gluteus maximus.

That's when the cartoon lightbulb appeared over my head. I shut it off quickly because it wasn't a fluorescent bulb and I need to conserve energy. Going green is cool unless if you're Sean "No Neck" Green.

Before I shut off the light, I took my crayons and scribbled out the new name of the site. No, I did not choose Gluteus Maximus. Behold its rhyming cousin, STUDIOUS METSIMUS!

Studious Metsimus will be your new home for smart Mets commentary and silly little blogs. From game recaps to Joey's musings to the "I Hate Joe Orsulak" feature (I'm sure you can't wait to find out what that's all about. So do I! I haven't written one yet!), this will be your place when you want something a little different with your Mets fix!

Relax, have an adult beverage (I'm not talking about Metamucil, although that name would be appropriate for this site, wouldn't it?) and enjoy the blogs! I'll do my best to make sure you won't be disappointed. Thanks for visiting and LET'S GO METS!!

It's A Mets Mets Mets Mets World Is On The Air!

Thank you! Thank you all! You're too kind! Thank you and welcome to the first blog for the recently renamed "It's A Mets Mets Mets Mets World".

We used to be called "Zombies and Comics and Bears...Oh My!", but the 2½ fans have spoken and they have been heard! The new title reflects a change in the format. After all, what do zombies have to do with the Mets, other than the fact that they walk like Luis Castillo?

Some of the regular features from ZCB will continue to be posted on IAM4W (That's the best abbreviation I can come up with for this site. If you have a better suggestion, please feel free to make them. Anything is better than IAM4W. It makes me sound like a George W. Bush supporter). Joey will also be returning to give us his bear's eye view of the Mets. These features will make their return:

• Injured Player of The Week Award
• Joey's Soapbox
• Newsdesk
• Mets Song Parodies
  

There will also be some new features as well. The comments from the readers will determine whether they become regular features or if they will be traded to some other site for a feature to be named later. These new features are:

• Useless Stat of The Day
• Sponsored By The Number ???
• I Hate Joe Orsulak: Pond Scum of The Week

Hopefully, I can also persuade a fellow Mets blogger or two to submit guest blogs in the spirit of IAM4W. That will guarantee actual quality and give the site credibility, much like Keith Hernandez did to the Mets in 1983 and the opposite of what Joe Orsulak did to the Amazins in 1993.

That's all for now. I hope you enjoy the new direction and as always, please leave comments about anything that's on your mind, be they positive or negative. Any comments are better than no comments. Let's Go Mets!
