The Mets Police

We’ve been touring Coors Field with our friend that seems to be some sort of international spy (always on the road with a drink in his hand).  

Interesting stadium placement.  I’ve never been there but this shot suggests it’s not surrounded by parking lots.

“Coors” on dugout.  Annoying?  “Shea” would be ok but “Citi” would annoy me.  I actually can’t recall what the dugouts in Flushing said.

Looks like this one says Colorado.

• The Mountain Ranch Bar & Grille is open to ALL TICKETED GUESTS and is located in the right field corner of Coors Field.
• The Mountain Ranch Bar & Grille may be accessed at any of the following areas: the Gate B elevator behind section 111, the elevator behind section 114 and the right field side of the Club and Suite levels (Club and/or Suite level tickets are required for Club and/or Suite level access).
• Game tickets are required to enter the Coors Field gates.

Ah Dinger….so lame.  Well that’s it from Coors Field.  Thanks to James Bond for the pics.  If you enjoyed this tour you may want to check out some of the others from Stadiums Week.

You kids probably never heard of Ed Hearn.  Good solid backup catcher for the ’86ers…and went away in a trade for some kid named David Cone who would pitch out of the bullpen in ’87.

You know it’s the offseason when the #1 article of the week was The Citi Field UFL Pricing and Seating Chart!

It seems like such a long time ago that it was Mets season.   Here’s the weekly recap of most popular articles and those that deserved better.

In my corner of the universe the most important stories were:

We’re getting a Mets Hall of Fame/Museum Thingy!

Dave Howard says we overreacted to the (cough) sightline problems.  So I put together this compilation of photos and videos for him, and I invite David to join me in the Promenade for a game in 2010.  I’ll buy the beer.

I want them to bring Mettle the Mule back!

Don’t you think Lee Mazzilli would make a great first base coach?

Did you enjoy the last appearance of the snow-white pinstriped uniforms?

Do you believe in the Curse of Coogan’s Bluff?  (Citi needs to honor the Giants)

Ok so I’ve covered David Howard, obstructed views, uniforms, Mazzilli and the NY Giants….that’s all my touchstones….nice week for me!  Here’s the rest:

This Vanity Fair recap of the 2009 season really illustrates how horrible it was.

Here’s video of Jeff Wilpon explaining 2010 to Chris Carlin.

Would you listen to an all-Mets radio station?  Imagine some fat guy complaining about uniforms for three hours.  Every day.

We super-analyzed the letter that went out to season ticket holders, and I’m not convinced that Joe Average Fan will get discounts.

Is Keith Hernandez leaving SNY?  Hope not.

The Post had a nice article about Doug Flynn…

He played with the Mets from 1977-81. When baseball went on strike in ’81, Flynn traveled a bit with the Oak Ridge Boys and sang on tour with them. He still loves to sing and pairs up with Bench at their successful golf tournament every year on cabaret night.
