What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Paul Lukas from Uni Watch mentioned that the stripes on the 2010 BP hat will be BLACK.
Over here we’ve been speculating about the design. Paul’s the man, so if he says blue with a BLACK NY yo can bet on it. His commentary is a little more feisty than ours.

Mrs. Mets Police is busting my chops but I just worked ahead on the blog…there’s some really cool stuff coming up.
Tomorrow we’ll start taking a look at some pictures taken by Jimmy the Mets Fan on his season ticket holder’s tour. It will take a few days to go through the tour…Tuesday is a cool visit to the clubhouse, and a really neat pool table, Wednesday will visit the trainer’s room…and before the week is done we’ll explain this photo.
Tomorrow I’ll comment on “the letter” discussion Dan had with the Mets…and by the end of the week even David Howard will have to agree there’s at least one obstructed view seat in Citi Field.
Tuesday we’ll take a look at a very interesting comment Matt made on Metsblog as it relates to ticket prices.
Some good stuff, but right now I have to go put up the tree. You try explaining to her what I’m doing on the computer.
Enjoy your night Mets fans.

I’m back from my trip and suffering through just an awful slate of NFL games…after this borefest of a Jets game Fox thinks anyone wants to watch Raiders-Redskins, and I know there’s a ton of Dallas fans but every Cowboys game they’ve shown in NYC this season has been a snoosefest. So it’s a good rainy day to get back in the swing of things out in Flushing.
It was hard to be away from the site for even 48 hours, and I hope the generic stuff kept you company. Welcome to all the new folks who have stopped by and I hope you stick around. If you’re a new fan I will answer every email ([email protected]) and appreciate any leads or guest submissions.
I see the Mets have decided to go after Bay and not do anything with Lackey until that’s settled. Is there not enough money for two players, or can the execs only focus on one thing at a time? Is it that Bay will help Ollie Perez win games 10-9, so we don’t need a pitcher? What happened to pitching and defense?
Teasers: I plan to comment on the Mets’ response to Dan’s letter tomorrow, and I’ll also comment on many of the emails that came in – some wondering why a question wasn’t asked, and some asking further questions of the Mets Police. Jimmy the Met fan sent over some pictures from his Citi Field tour, so we’ll check those out this week – and I took some pictures of Wrigley Field in the winter where will comment sarcastically about their new-fangled statue technology.
The response from the Mets is a must read, and was our far and away #1 article this week, andwith that let’s take a look at the other popular items from the week….
Dan’s original letter is here.
Also mentioned in the letter were obstructed views. I’m not talking about not being able to see the left fielder (which is a major topic) I’m talking about not being able to see anything. Dave Howard click here to see videos of obstructed views or these pictures in the compilation of obstructed views at Citi Field
Bobby Bonilla will make $1 million dollars a year from the Mets from 2011-2035 according to this. It probably actually makes sense on the balance sheet, but still…
There will be new Mets batting practice caps in 2010 and they might look like this.

Wearing the #57, today’s average Mets fan is Martin.
1. I started following the Mets in 1999.
2. My favorite memory was when the Mets clinched the 2006 NL East. Cliff Floyd caught the game winner and the rest is history.
3. My worst experience were all the blown saves in 2008. Players that I wanted hunted down for killing a season: Heilman, Schoenwies, Smith, and Ayala.
What’s the one off-field thing you’d change?
4. Get more players more involved in charities and events for good causes.
If you owned the team?
5. Fire Manuel and Minaya, re-name Citi Field: Metropolitains Park, and bring in the center field wall to about 395ft.

Ah generic content, I love you so. If all goes well, my plane has landed and I am headed back to Mets Police HQ to see what happened while I was away.
The following youtube clip is hilarious. I discovered it about a month ago…stay with it, even when you think Boomer & Carton have wrapped up the gag, keep listening.
They should have “John Sterling” on every day.
