Punk kid steals my idea
A 13-year-old Ohio kid is selling scented candles aimed at men. I swear I’ve been pitching this to anyone willing to listen for years. Not only that, but he used two of my go-to suggested manly scents: sawdust and bacon. If he hasn’t yet, he should also make one that smells like fire. Crazy meta, plus a good smell. (And yeah, technically fire smells like whatever is burning, but you know what I’m saying.)
Kiss me I’m AAAAAAAAAAAUGH!
As Emma Span points out, the Mets’ St. Patrick’s Day hat is completely terrifying.
Adrian Beltre talks about weird head-rubbing thing

Boycott Fort Wayne, Indiana
Please follow my lead in continuing to avoid the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana. The mayor announced that the new government center will not be named for longtime area politician Harry Baals despite overwhelming support from the Internet. Instead, it will be called “Citizens Square,” which, without the possessive, seems to imply that Fort Wayne citizens are themselves square. They probably are, because they’re not cool enough to storm the mayor’s office and demand he pay tribute to the legacy of Harry Baals and the whims of the Internet. Hat tip to Terry for the link.
Humorless Carlos Beltran has never seen Groundhog Day
Seriously though he should probably check it out. Great movie.
Support your local Justin Turner
Matt Cerrone is polling readers to ask who the Mets should start at second base, and our man Justin Turner is running behind Luis Castillo and tied with Luis Hernandez. Rock the vote.
Congratulations, Dan Snyder!
You have exercised dominion over your team’s ridiculously racist nickname!
David Wright will crush your calculator, unless it’s thrown on the outside half of the plate
Patrick Flood talks to David Wright about the conclusions drawn from all the research on his streakiness this offseason. Wright, unsurprisingly, did not read it.
