With Francesa breaking the news about the Mets agreeing on a contract with Jason Bay last week. Francesa once again seems to be suggesting he has some new news to report on the Mets later today when he said “I think you’ll be getting some more Mets news here later in the week, but we’ll get to that later in the show…†Our crack staff got this exclusive photo that explains how Mike (Mr. Yankee) Francesa is getting such exclusive news from Minaya.

Omar looks good in leather, or is that shark?
I don’t know if this is just an issue with me and my browser or if it’s more widespread but both the “Happy New Year” graphic and this one are “too wide” for me to see the whole thing.
The only way for me to see the entire image is for me to “grab” it and view it on my desktop using my .jpg viewer (“preview” on my mac). Even with my browser at full screen the image is too big for me. I have a 17″ monitor if that’s relevant.

I think that may be because the site is designed to be best viewed at 1280×1024

Aha, well if that’s the case I will never be able to “best view” the site as my computer doesn’t offer me that choice of resolution. 1440 x 900 is the closest I can come, and what my computer is set at currently.

That should do it actually 1440 is way wider than 1280. I winder if it may be browser specific then? I use firefox , Chrome and IE but never used Safari. Also when I add the images the size is set by pixels rather than percent so it doesn’t scale down to fit when the browser window is re sized.

I tried re-setting the resolution to a couple of the smaller choices and it just made everything look out of focus and sized incorrectly.
I don’t use Safari, it crashed a lot and didn’t block ads, so I am using Firefox 3.5.6 with Ad-blocker plus.

I see it fine and I’m using the same Firefox version you are – except I don’t have the Ad-blocker plus.

Damn I am dumbfounded then we are using the same browser your display is at a higher resolution and yet you can’t see it in it’s entirety.
Now I am wondering how many others are having the same problem?

I figured it out. I increase the font size of text in my browser to make it easy on my eyes by hitting “command & +” which makes all the text bigger, but also makes the graphics you create “too big” so parts of them disappear. I just hit “command & -” twice and now your graphics fit.
But I’m going to have to go back to the other way because these words are too small and I will go more blind. At least I know what to do now to view your full graphics.

Nope! They’re for me to see beyond the end of my nose. I even have prescription versions of these 8)

I want to thank you for this helpful hint on making the font bigger. I have the same problem as you with seeing small print on some of these blogs. I guess you could say we’re of an age…..

Excellent graphic Jerz.
I’m running 1440×900 and I can see everything in its entirety.

Haha…nice work Mr North!
Kind of weird to see Francesspool just come right up and use the Mets to fill time and boost ratings when the Yanks are not doing anything…he is just so adorable.
Still, the publicity is all good.
Come on Omar, pull the damn pitcher out of the hat already!!

The news is that Omar will be on the show rambling and muttering? Big deal! And won’t he be discussing Jason Bay tomorrow?

HAHAHAHA – great post.
And double great – now I have to tune into MF’s show yet again tomorrow to hear Omar and whatever he’ll be rambling about? Hopefully he’ll announce up front what time Omar is scheduled to come on so I don’t have to listen to the whole thing. No offense to those of you who enjoy football but I’m not really a fan and this time of year that’s mostly what is discussed.

I was at this game they’re running on SNY now. Still have my ticket. Great finish. If you’re busy elsewhere you might want to tune in a few minutes before 10:00pm, especially if you remember Endy Chavez fondly.
