The Mets Police

 

Is this the child of Mr. Met II and Mrs. Met, or just “product’

Is Steve OK?  Steve hasn’t checked in with us on twitter since April 23rd, which coincidentally is when the Mets started dropping 2 of 3 to opponents.  I hope nothing has happened to him.  Maybe the Mets can sweep a series and he’ll check in with us.

Anyway, the Mets want you to go to Union Square to get this cap.  It’s a cool cap, but guys, Union Square is pretty far from where any actual Mets fans live.  Maybe in 1988 I would have made the trip from Queens and hit Tower Records while I was vaguely in the area, but it’s the 21st Century now and stuff is supposed to come to us.  Anyway, I hope Alex likes her store and her friends are impressed.

Looks like The Mets Gala was lots of fun.  Mets Police was able to have a photographer on the red carpet.

Whatever happened to playing baseball?  I’m sure Kevin is groovy and all but it seems the Mets are getting more and more away from being a baseball team.

BTW guys, I am not sure bragging about being associated with the Los Angeles Chargers is anything special….unless the goal here is to pack Citi with fans of the visiting team and to be the #2 team in the market.

The Mets are pleased to welcome Kevin J. Gessay to the organization as Senior Vice President, Luxury Ventures & Growth. In this newly created role with the Mets, Kevin will lead the development of new luxury experiences and partnerships. Kevin will focus on creating unique experiences around the Mets while continuing to position the organization and Citi Field as a leading luxury sports and entertainment destination for fans, marketers, and other strategic partners. He will report to Chief Growth Officer Andrew Grossman.

Kevin comes to the Mets with more than 25 years of expertise in curating experiences, luxury brand marketing, communications, and sports hospitality. Most recently, Kevin co-developed and launched ‘Chargers LUX’, an innovative sports membership program for premium clientele of the LA Chargers.

Prior to his time with the Los Angeles Chargers, he was Managing Director for PMK-BNC London (global publicity and marketing firm in Entertainment and Popular Culture), where he led UK office operations, client storytelling, and new business. Some of his clients included Haig Club, Pepsi Europe, American Express Europe and Unilever. Kevin was at PMK-BNC in Los Angeles for 14 years, where he led brand premium hospitality programs, communications, cross-channel marketing, celebrity procurement, and influencer outreach for brands like Audi, Ketel One, Samsung, GM and Anheuser-Busch.

What’s going on with Mets social media?  It often is very very Try Hard, and here’s the example that set me off…

OK look, I get it, the whole world did Star Wars day, but if you’re going to do it, why not have at least some command of Star Wars.

Why would you do “Polar Wookie” (more on that in a second) and not go with, oh I don’t know, the big Polar Bear like creature that exists in the Star Wars universe?

If you’re going to do it, do it right.

It was RIGHT THERE.

My guess is the Adults took Sunday off and left The Social Media Intern born in 2003 instructions to do some Star Wars stuff.

Also, Wookiee has two E’s but that I will overlook.

…

Meanwhile, is Steve OK?  He was tweeting so often in April and now that the Mets are dropping series and dropping doubleheaders he hasn’t been checking in on Twitter the way he has.

He hasn’t tweeted since April 23rd!

By my count the Mets are 4-6 since then.

You don’t suppose Steve is one of those phonies, like some politicians, who only take credit for wins and hide out when things aren’t going as well.  If you’re gonna lead Steve, lead all the time.  Otherwise you come across as very phony.   And New Yorkers can tell a phony.

It would take you 5 seconds to tweet something like “tough one today, we’ll get them next time!” or “Always great to see the support from the fans, on to Arizona!”
