I Think Philly Has The Team We Want

I’m in Clark Kent mode and haven’t had much time but some quick thoughts:

I think the Phillies have the team Mets fans want.  As an outsider it seems like a bunch of scrappy guys, a homegrown hero or two and a shortstop who is actually good and not a stat accumulator.

I’m sure Fox is thrilled at the prospect of Phillies-Rays.  I like the Rays and all but that combination and 8:30 starts isn’t going to get me to switch off the dvr.

I don’t want to be Mushnick Junior but I observe that Son of Mets Police has watched zero innings of the playoffs.   I’ve watched about two.  I just don’t care.

So Willie might go to the Yankees huh?  Girardi might want to open the new new stadium 15 and 0.

Willie might go to the Nats huh?  That won’t be awkward at all for Manny Acta and his last place team.

Cyclones Fan suggested the Mets Police sponsor a brick at Citi Field.   They are sold out.  I’m kinda amazed the Mets won’t sell more.

How long until Citibank merges or gets bought and the Mets wind up playing in Horribly Named Stadium?
