The Mets updated their roster with new players and uniform numbers and everything else one could possibly want. Well, except for me.
I saw the change last night and started questioning my beliefs and it's all on my twitter feed, but I figured I would put it more coherently on here.
The changes included Mike Nickeas going from #13 to #4. Ronny Cedeno now has #13. This change means a few things. One, I already strongly dislike Ronny Cedeno. Two, my #13 Nickeas jersey (and t-shirt) are now inaccurate so I'm not only ridiculous for having the Nickeas paraphernalia in the first place, I am now even more ridiculous for having stuff with the wrong number. And three, it just confuses everything and takes away all stability I had in my life.
My first thought (well, not my first thought) was that Mike didn't have much of a choice once the Mets signed Cedeno. But Cedeno has only worn #13 for two years. He has worn #5 for four seasons, but there is no way he would have asked for that from the Mets. He has also worn #11 and #3 for one season each. So was #13 really that important to him? Could he not have stripped Josh Satin of his #3? (Sorry, Josh.) #1 is available, he could have had that. But he chose #13 for whatever reason and now Mike Nickeas has #4.
#4 is an interesting switch. Now it is the number with the best flow in New York, as Mike Nickeas and Michael Del Zotto both have outstanding heads of hair. But I just don't think that's why Mike chose it. 1 + 3 = 4. That's simple and could very well be the reason. He wore #22 with the Bisons last year, which also sums to four and was also at a time when #13 wasn't available. It could be for any variety of reasons. If you're really wild you could even think that Mike wanted the switch and Cedeno just took #13 because it was actually available. However, I just don't think that's the case.
Well, for whatever reason, Mike Nickeas now has #4. It could be worse. He could have gone to #78. The single digit should signal a good chance at making the roster.
Let's Go Mets!
