The Mets Police

1.  Swept by Astros.   Bad.

2.   Maine on DL.   Very bad.   Jump on my Jon Niese bandwagon now.

3.   Wagner hurting enough that they brought up the closer from AA.   I like my home grown talent, but an August pennant race is not the time to lose the closer. 

A Niese win, Kunz save and a Daniel Murphy hit?  Not really the plan was it, but I’d rather lose with these guys then win with someone like Manny Ramirez or Four Inning Pedro (you know, the guy that ran out on his championship team five minutes after the parade) or Tom Cylon Glavine of the Braves.

Well, bend over, the Jets have announced they too will be stealing money from you for nothing, in the form of PSL’s.

Woody Johnson has the gall to say this: 

We understand the feeling of the fans. I think what we’re going to do is listen to the fans’ response from the questionnaires we sent out and we’re going to try to incorporate as many of those ideas into the way we package this PSL program to make it as fan-friendly as we can, recognizing the nature of our fans and how long they’ve been fans and where they sit.

See, it will be a fan friendly multi-thousand dollar check you will get to write.

Some day, the Mets will grant my wish to be named Director of Franchise Integrity, and when they do I will return Old-Timers Day to Citi Field.  (Or Shea if they hire me soon).

Who should be invited?

Top of mind:  All 69, 73, 86, 88 and 00 Mets, John Stearns and Joel Youngblood.

Let’s hear some suggestions!
