Of Course The Apple Doesn't Work Right

Shannon Shark, Mets Police Chief

In case you missed it, when Tatis homered after the Schneider home
run, the ugly new oversized apple failed to come up.

Why? The new design takes 2.5 minutes to reset.

What contractor sold Jeff Wilpon on that?

The old apple was fine as we said on this site all along. You know
what, it worked too!

to be fair, the old Apple probably needed replacement (as a functioning apple) after last season. It is almost 30 years old, and there was a game (doubleheader actually) when it didn't work because it had taken on so much rain water the night before (that was Father's Day weekend last year).

but the lemon that they got should have been built with back-to-back HRs in mind (or a lead-off HR after coming up for the 7th inning stretch). I wonder what the old apple's timings were.

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).

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in.

Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including anything to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk.

We strongly encourage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners, just don't wear a black jersey while doing so.

Welcome!
