The Mets Police

Wow I don’t even know what to say about this one.  Sully Baseball sent me a link with a great post about 1987’s “Think Big” campaign that…

a)  I apparently blocked out over either horror or post WS euphoria
b)  proves the Strawberry Mets did do a lot of drugs
c)  makes me wish I had a time machine because 1987 needs some Mets Police.

I can’t describe what you’re about to see unless you visit Sully…trust me it’s worth it…

SULLY BASEBALL: Think Big! with the 1987 Mets – the 1980s were a different time

…but here’s a teaser of what Sully wrote.

The actor playing the scientist I guess was told to over compensate for Mookie Wilson, Gary Carter and Roger McDowell’s lack of acting ability. Eddie Deezen would tell this guy to “Bring it back.”

– Why is there a computer on the on deck circle?

– That whole opening scene was a build up for an air guitar sequence? And why air guitaring with baseball bats?

– I bet they shot about 30 minutes of improvisation with dancing and air guitaring with baseball bats. That poor poor editor.

This morning I have a cool Mets blog for you from Dana Brand, one of the folks behind the upcoming 50th Anniversary of the Mets conference that they want to do an Hofstra (we hope the Mets Police are invited).

From there we got the cool picture of The Real Apple in its new home.   It looks like they gave it a nice spot.   I’m glad it made the trip.  You can read all about the apple here.

If any idiots vandalize it I will personally arrest them.

Dana also ranked the Mets seasons according to fun – this was back in December – and correctly realizes that 1984 was way more fun than 2000.

I’m going with fellow Mets Police-man Osh41’s logic – $6.  Why not?  I may even decide to not be cheap and sit downstairs….but I’m still parking on 113th street.

NY Sports Examiner: A-Rod never leaves sportswriters hanging

A-Rod really never ceases to be entertaining.

Posted using ShareThis

Fernando Tatis became the 16th Met to head off to the WBC today – replacing A-Rod – leaving the Mets with I believe only eight active players left in camp.

John Maine is expected to start in left field, and Jose Valentin will shuttle between second and short depending on which side of the plate the batter stands.

In other not-quite-a-full-post-news the LA Times writes about the C-Field bricks  that people for some reason paid for:

One brick reads, “Jeri Hester was at Game 6. Nuff Said.” Another reads, “We Loved The Amazins At Shea, Heres To New Miracles At Citi Field! The Gebhards.” Oddly, no engraved stone reads, “Our Mets Bricked Down the Stretch In 2007 and 2008,” but that was probably scratched for being too obvious.
