The Mets Police

The opening ceremonies were absolutely amazing.   Those were some of the most amazing images I’ve ever seen.   That “boxes” thing being done without computers – humans inside boxes – amazing.  That thing with the globe and people racing around it defying gravity – I can’t even begin to imagine how they did that.

Hats off to whoever the choreographer is.

I’m watching the parade of nations now – also very cool.  How much fun to see all the people from differemt lands.

The telecast is very nice as well – watching it reminded me how nauseating Katie Couric was last time around.  Costas as always is being understated and a great listen.

We’ll be paying lots of attention to Misty May (sigh -Treanor) around these parts the next 17 days.

Oh yeah, the Mets won.

I think it would be cool if there were a team in Northern New Jersey.  

This article here discusses the economic viability of the top ten places MLB could place a team, and you may be surprised to see that NJ is number one.

Now before you roll your eyes remember that Fred Wilpon is still obsessed with the 1950’s – when the Dodgers and Giants played every 10 minutes, and these days we’re supposed to believe that the Mets-Yankees series is the end all be all….so give it a few years and maybe Mets-Marlins could be fun.

$869? Really?

It will cost you $869 for a pair of used Shea Stadium seats.

I have no idea what seats from Shea should cost but $869 seems absurd.

Suggestions anyone?
