The Mets Police

 

A fascinating rumor that’s been rippling through the Mets’ clubhouse lately has the team finally getting ready to move in the fences at Citi Field.

via MLB — Rumblings and Grumblings: Major League Baseball continues to miss the call on instant replay – ESPN.

Stark goes on to add that there doesn’t seem to be much traction to it.

When I was in the park Saturday I was looking at the fence and the 17,000 angles.  Seems silly.  Just have a more or less normal fence.

The read of the day is in the WSJ…great stuff.  Mookie Wilson became a trucker for a while!  Anyone remember when he was a Maitre D (is that how that’s spelled?) in Woodside?

Plus he’s told the 1986 story 7000 times…

It’s so monotonous, it’s so redundant. I know I have to tell the story, and I know people I’m telling it to have already heard me tell the story. It never changes. I’m trapped.”

This jersey rocks. We stalked this dude for 6 innings, because we’re pretty weird and creepy if you think about it.

Eventually @mediagoon was able to get the shot

I’d like to know more about this fellow. I would profile an Agbayani fan as being from Generation Piazza (with their black jerseys and their crazy statistics. Get off my lawn.). Usually it’s us old dudes who dig the blue.

I actually didn’t wear a Mets anything yesterday since it was Mother’s Day. On Saturday I did the blue BP in the morning and wore the underrated pinstriped Mazzilli to the game, because unlike certain teams I know to keep wearing the lucky pinstripes.

Nice job Mr. Agbayani fan!
