A's Owner Suggests 1 Game Wild Card Round

Shannon Shark, Mets Police Chief

The owner of the A's wants to shorten the season by making the first round one game instead of five.   I think he's on the right path, but his plan is unfair to the good teams.
 
I like the Costas Solution.
 
Shorten the season by playing something called single-admission doubleheaders.   I know, crazy.  Think of how much money the Marlins will lose by not playing 4 extra home games in front of 4,000.
 
Add a wild card to each league.   The two wild cards play a one game playoff the day after the season.  The winner of that game plays the #1 seed at the stadium of the #1 seed.    So had the Mets tied the Brewers they would have had to kill themselves to win Sunday (in my alternate universe), killed themselves to beat Milwaukee on Monday and then had to open at Chicago on Tuesday.   The Cubs would have had their pitching all lined up and the Mets would have had no choice but to start Four Inning Pedro.

If You're Visiting For The First Time

If you are visiting The Mets Police for the first time, welcome. This blog aims to be a little different. We're less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing. We're about Mets history and tradition. We'd like to see a Seaver statue at Citi Field. We'd like the black uniforms to go away. We'd like the team to always treat the fans with respect. We're just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).

We're in the middle of a series called "5 Questions for Average Mets Fans." Depending on when you visit the site it may or may not be the top article. Scroll down and you'll see some of the other types of articles we do....ticket plans, new uniforms, memories, anything Mazzilli or Seaver.

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in. Welcome!
Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including the stuff to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk. We encorage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners. Just don't wear a black Mets jersey while doing so.
