The Mets Police

The reports have Beckham being "on loan" to AC Milan for three months to stay in top shape.

The rumor has it that it might be permanent.

What would it mean for MLS is he bolts after two years? It would once again set soccer back 25 years – and I remember when soccer was the next big thing circa 1980 (there was a great Bill Gallo cartoon making fun of that).

It's a shame that the Galaxy missed the playoffs two years in a row, and other than that first game the league has done a poor job of hyping his games outside of the soccer community.

Here's hoping that he sticks around.

You may be familiar with Uni Watch Blog which is just awesome but click on his photogallery on Flickr for some more pics of good ol’ Shea being dismantled.

I have nothing new to add on this subject.

My only hope is that somewhere at Citi Field that someone puts together a book or press and dopey-blog clippings and this makes it to remind the Mets we're still angry about the entire 21st century.

There's an article in the Ledger today about Steve Henderson (hitting coach of The Rays) and it mentions…

.."What has come to be called The Steve Henderson game.". Apparently Steve hit a home run and the Mets won, and as the article highlights this was exciting because it moved the Mets within one game of .500 and 6 of the Expos.

I'm pretty hip to the "Lee Mazzilli Mets" years but I don't recall this at all and have never heard of "The Steve Henderson Game.". Anyone?

I do vaguely remember being excited one year that they were playing .400 ball (that's a four) but that was the second half of the split 1981 season.

You kids have no idea how awful this franchise was, and how great that made 1984. I still hate the Cubs. Look it up youngins.
