My new favorite Met: #13 Mike Nickeas
Again, the site is having major problems…hence the funkiness….what totally sucks was today was gonna be “work ahead” day. Oh well.
While I try to recover ALL the posts (doh!!!!!!) I’ll continue typing over here in the orange box.
So why is Mike my favorite Met? Because I love the number thirteen.
(Actually my favorite Met is future Hall of Famer Jon Niese. I intended to post today about “Mets I like” - but not having a blog at all is sort of screwing with the plan for the day)
FLUSHING, N.Y., September 2, 2010 – The New York Mets today announced they selected the contract of catcher Mike Nickeas from Buffalo (AAA) of the International League. To make room on the 40-man roster, the team transferred righthanded pitcher John Maine to the 60-Day Disabled List. Nickeas will wear uniform #13 and will be available for tonight’s game in Atlanta.
Nickeas, 27, began the season at Binghamton (AA) of the Eastern League, where he hit .283 (75-265) with five home runs and 33 RBI in 82 games. The 6-0, 210-pound Nickeas joined Buffalo in late August, playing in seven games and hitting .214 (6-28).
The native of Vancouver, Canada originally was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the fifth round of the 2004 First Year Player Draft before being traded to the Mets on August 30, 2006 for outfielder Victor Diaz.

The site at metspolice.com is experiencing technical problems.
Remember those other 7,000 posts from the last three years? Media Goon is down in the basement retyping them.
Until he finishes,I will use the Tumblr as a workaround.
metspolice.tumblr.com or just stare right here and ignore that white space on the left. Might be a while…

She brought a book. He should have spent money on correct font. The “mail it in” generic blue is the worst.

The Jets made the AFC Championship game…they ain’t selling out. The Yankees won the World Series. They struggled to sell out. The Giants won the Superbowl a couple of years back…they can’t sell out.
Notice a common theme here? Extremely overpriced tickets for new stadiums.
No…winning sells tickets, not home runs.
Plenty of scoring at Wilpons Folly, Shannon. The opposition can blast our pathetic pitching staff rather well. We can only HOPE we can hold the opposition to two runs now and then.
It’s not all power. Intelligent approaches can score runs—even hit ‘em out. See Utley, Chase (Journal of Citi Field 2009; right-field line).
