The Mets Police

OK, now Mets Police is starting to make the big time.  This is (so far) the best Saturday Morning Donuts post ever.

Never mind all that uniform/fanbrick./obstructed views stuff that the site got known for…I know I have the Mets’ attention….but now I have the attention of something that really matters…the formerly Unnamed Donuts Chain reached out and wants to be my friend.

Thanks Dunkin’ Donuts friends!  Wouldn’t a regular ad spot on the site look neat?  Wouldn’t “MetsPolice.com powered by Dunkin’ Donuts” make sense for both of us…after all, the writer is actually powered by your fine product.

Speaking of which…I will be back after a quick run for a larged iced coffee and a chocolate glazed (or two).

The well-read Deadspin is now involved.  This is now a “thing.”

The Stop Abusing Coffee Facebook folks have over 1,700 fans, and even more signatures on their online petition. Theyve reached out to the Mets, to old-timey New York reporter-cum-gumshoe-types, to the NYPD and the ASPCA, and, well, they got us and Cant Stop the Bleeding. Close enough.

“We’re not here for ourselves. We’re here to show our support for a worthy cause,” said Strawberry, who won four World Series titles (one with the Mets and three with the Yankees). “I think it’s important to put your celebrity to good use. And I do love to come back to New York and see my fans.”
