The Mets Police

Elon has ruined twitter to the point I don’t even know how (or if you can) embed videos any more.  So click on this link to watch an actually fun Mets related video!

Picture it.  Steve Cohen has announced a New Culture (one of winning both now and in the future) for the 5th time in 7 years.  (is that right?  Seems right?)

Here are some games you could attend as the Mets attempt to go FIVE decades without winning the World Series, having completed four decades.

Nothing here excites me. The @Cubs series is in September.  We need that in June please.

Anyway, let me know when Lindor is off this team and maybe I will try to care.

I did some work earlier today and found out the Mets had dismissed Carlos Mendoza hours ago.

There was a time when that would have been an immediate red alert and immediate blogging. But Steve Cohen has completely destroyed any affinity I had for the Mets so I walked my dog for an hour.  Then I went to Tropical Smoothie Cafe.  Then I watched some soccer and THEN I remembered about the manager thing.

Andy Green?  Who is Andy Green?  I wondered if I was so disconnected that maybe I didn’t know this guy was the bench coach or something. I’m still not sure. I also don’t care.

I googled “Who is Andy Green” and learned he had managed the Padres without me noticing.

Anyway, he’s the interim manager and I still won’t bother watching any Mets games and won’t be spending any money on the Nets until Lindor is gone.

I look forward to the off-season press conference where Steve and the new manager tell us about the new culture

As for Mendoza, you guys sure loved him the summer of the gimmick team.  He was no better or worse than he was in 2024   This is all on David Stearns, as David Stearns is on Steve Cohen

 

 

Man, this isn’t quite as bad as the night six Padres fans took over the section from The T-Shirt Army during an elimination playoff game (but the best fans in baseball said it was late) – but this is not a good look for the He Struck Him Out crowd.  Might need to step up the recruiting and the whole Fan Section thing guys.

Now if 700 Mets fans attend a soccer game in Norway, then I will be impressed.

Hey look, it’s the Mets.

Now, I checked and the Mets were HOME at Citi Field.  They played as the HOME team (this wasn’t a wierdo makeup-game or something like when the Rays had to play in NYC).

The Mets, at home.

They are wearing jerseys that say NEW YORK.

Two questions.

1.  Why are the Mets wearing road jerseys, regularly, at home?
2.  And this is the more important question, one that should have been asked decades ago – Why don’t the Mets like their own uniforms?

Shouldn’t the Mets like to look like, you know, the Mets?  Why not wear the traditional Mets uniform.

Aside from all the other points – you can’t see what it actually says because the New York isn’t colored in, or that it’s a road jersey – why don’t the Mets want to look like the Mets?

As for wearing a road jersey at home – or at least a city name jersey – they did do it ONCE in 2021 for the anniversary of 9/11.  These were cool, for that occasion, and I don’t believe they ever sold a consumer version or i’d own one.

This is also a reminder that drop shadow sucks, and that the current road jerseys need the piping back.

As for the blue jerseys…..hey if you wanna wear blue, figure this out with Nike…

Or maybe this…
