This Brick Is In Favor of the Mets

I've been debating whether to purchase one of these CitiField bricks ($195 for a 3-line inscription, in case you hadn't heard), and to this point haven't been able to pull the trigger on a purchase. Being of a background in which both creativity and Metsitivity have been encouraged, I do have a few suggestions on brick phraseology, for those who may be contemplating their own purchase (15-character per line limit). I'd also encourage the Mets to include a smattering of bricks with these historic words of choice.

Feel free to post any other ideas in the comments section.

(For those curious about the title of this post...the first winning banner on Banner Day, back in 1963, was titled "This Sign Is In Favor of the Mets")
