Baron is rocking it over on Metsblog this morning.

Ike Davis for Cliff Lee? That was crazy talk Mariners.

Baron also commented on the same Buster Olney tweet that caught my eye last night – about Mets and payroll.

Did anyone try the crepes?

Remember when Tom Seaver made Tim McCarver’s hands hurt in an All-Star Game?

Seaver “threw harder than any pitcher I have ever caught,” said Tim McCarver, now a Fox analyst. “When I took my glove off, my left hand was swollen.

“I was having a pretty good year, and I went in the tank the second half. I told Tom I blamed him because he ruined my left hand with his inning of work.”

Still raining here at HQ but the sky is brightening.  I’m still going to go to the game.  Here’s the forecast.

Will spotted another Vaughn jersey….this one is of the Mo variety not the Major League movie variety.

Awful font-age.   Awful.  Spend the money folks.

I am no meteorologist but the awesome Weather Channel App for the ipad says (click for bigger image):

Here’s what I can tell you from experience:

– the gates will open.   It’s a giveaway day, it’s a Saturday, NOBODY will want to play a doubleheader tomorrow into the All-Star break.

– the Mets want the gate.

– if you kill time during a rain delay you buy hot dogs and shop to kill time which gives the Mets more money.

– the game is on Fox.

– it is presently pouring at Mets Police HQ and has been for an hour.

– Beloved Daughter is attending the game and she’s a rain delay jinx

– I am going to head out at 2pm and make the long drive

– I expect to see a game

– I expect to spend an hour in a monsoon thunderstorm because that’s what always happens when Beloved Daughter comes.

– Beloved Daughter has her black jersey on.   (Love outweighs Unichoice).   I will go with 1983 Blue.

– I am a fat guy who can’t even go on his deck because of the rain so don’t get mad at me if this advice stinks.  You’re on your own.

Terence has been frustrated with me that I didn’t have this up yet, so while I enjoy my Unnamed Donuts Chain….

So, I read your post from the 22nd about the M&N BP jersey in Blue:

and for $80, it is quite simply, the BEST Mets jersey purchase EVER!!

Let me explain…
I’ve compared it to the Majestic “Replica Cooperstown Alternate Jersey”
For $100 this jersey is very disappointing! some points:

1) Sizing isn’t true. You could try on 3 or 4 of the same size jersey and have different fits each time (which I’ve done)…

2) Even though it’s direct stitch lettering/numbering, it is NOT double layer twill, like it’s made to look like in the pics! It has a single white layer twill with a layer of Orange screen printing over it to give the illusion of double layer twill…

3) No front number…

4) Yogi, Ryan, Tug and Saberhagen never even wore this “style” of jersey!

or this?:

OK, well maybe I’m nitpicking with that last one, but C’MON?!?! 100 Bucks for that jersey is a rip off, when for 20% less you can get an almost identical to the Era Mesh BP jersey, with a period specific player who actually wore that style that’s got a true fit and looks amazing!

I’ve attached some pics of the detailed awesomeness of the jersey for all to drool over…

P.S. Did I mention that the only Black on the M&N jersey is a thin border on the jock tag? That’s it!!! OK, nit completely picked. As you were…

Good morning.

Have you seen this pathetic poll The Mets Police are doing in a sorry attempt to grab a sponsor?  Well, it is Saturday so you know what that means – I’m off to an Unnamed Store to get my iced coffee.  Maybe it’s a donut chain with a D in it, or maybe somewhere with some arches.   (Pathetic.)

I’m heading out to the game today with Beloved Daughter and her black Mets jersey.  Not sure what I’m gonna rock yet.

NEXT Sunday (the one eight days from now) I’m going to grab the other clowns (Media Goon, Dan and Osh41) and do another one of those audio things….you can listen to episode 1 on the right side of the main Mets Police page, even though much of it is dated now.  Nope, we didn’t talk about uniforms.

Starting Monday Mets Police will be celebrating 70’s week with a whole bunch of 1970’s Mets related material.

And while I go to a place that sells iced coffee…out there in America someone is wearing this.  (Thanks to @metsflu on twitter for the hookup.  Do I have to say “on twitter” or do you guys know what it means when I write @somebody at this point.  I mean you’re cruising RSS feeds and blogs, you know what @mazzilli is right?  Speaking of which, I wonder if Lee tweets.  Doubt it.  Ok coffee time…)

Wow bonus negative points for all sorts of font issues.  Now Morg(an) 8 seems like he might be a cool dude.  Or a fan of ESPN.

@metsflu tells me he took the picture because it was interesting and then realized I could use it.  That means that this whole thing where we take pictures of the backs of strangers is catching on.

Be careful what you wear today.  You show up in a Sisk jersey and you’ll be on here tomorrow.  The Mets Police are everywhere.

I’ll be on twitter @metspolice during the game.  Shoot, that means I have to dress well myself so nobody tricks me into meeting them and making fun of my black Perez jersey.  Oh wait that’s not me, that’s Randy from The Apple who had another winner post here as he fake interviewed Brian Cashman.

For the completist of completists:

And you will want to pair it up with this

National League 2010 All-Star Game Jersey: Any Player Navy Batting Practice Jersey

There’s a drop down menu where you can pick Wright or Reyes but not Pelfey because Charlie Manuel is a jerkyface.

Yes you can get Reyes and/or Wright, don’t let the 00 confuse you.
