The Mets Police

If my brain processed the information correctly, SNY promoted Mets Yearbook 1988 tonight at 7. I haven’t seen that one (new?) and my tv guide lists a different one but I set the DVR anyway.

It seems like just two years ago some fat guy in his basement suggested that SNY dust off the old rain delay films rather than some dopey quiz game on the street. It warmed my heart to see Mets Yearbook during the rain delay. Does anyone not agree that that’s a great call by the fat guy?

Stars and stripes caps tonight. They are white. You’d have to be a fool to pair those with black jerseys right?

Some of you are starting to Man Up and send in your cheesy jerseys. Well done. Everyone else it’s time to be honest and Show Your Ryan Thompson jersey. I know you have one.

I will be joining the club in a few years. I found a stars and stripes jersey on eBay for less than the price of the awful cap. Plus if I don’t shake my crush on Frenchy I will be president of the club.

Tours of Citi Field start today. I really want to take one but being honest Citi Field is a litttle far from Mets Police HQ and HQ has a pool. Fortunately, Media Goon has taken on the assignment and he is much better at taking pictures.

Look forward to a few shots from the tour over the weekend, and we’ll do a larger post on Tuesday. I don’t want to waste the article when everyone is at the beach.

I’m sure some other blog will hustle and get something up and I’ll feel like a loser but hey, sometimes it’s nice to put the feet up.

Mets Police will be active all weekend. I enjoy taking the laptop to the sunny deck so there will be fresh content and I don’t just mean the pre-written kind although there’s some of that too. Also keep an eye on metspolice.tumblr.com for pictures of my weekend Mets related activity.

A nice thing the Mets have done is included me on the media distribution list so now I get official communications (much much appreciated) including the post game notes.

I imagine most folks will be focused on the shutouts – names live Seaver and Koosman involved in the only other series shutout and names like Gooden and Darling involved in the last time the Mets pitched three straight shutouts.

What caught my eye in the notes is that Reyes is hitting .333 since returning to leadoff, and for the season is .313 at Citi and .161 on the road.

The Mets need a good series this weekend. The 10:05 starts in SD next week will allow for some sin-hiding but right now the fans are jazzed, the Jerry Watch is on hold, and eyes are on the Mets. Usually that’s a recipe for getting swept on the road by a lousy team.
