Well before we get to steroids…
The top post of the week was a complete off-topic indulgence – so off-topic it got Mets Police thrown off Bleacher Report! Oh well – Springsteen talks about Springsteen-gate and Ticketmaster was the most popular.
Back on-topic:
People can’t get enough pics of New Yankee Stadium or the Stadium That Replaced Shea.
Unfortunately, life in Flushing has been boring (or in light of A-Rod, maybe that’s a good thing) so much of the attention has been up by the Deegan. The Yankees warned 41 game ticket plan holders that they might not get seats. I’ve heard tales of people who have seats in the uppers behind home plate for 11 years being moved to the boonies.
Speaking of money to be made on tickets, I have it on (cough) good authority that you can get $200 for an upper deck opening day ticket at Not Shea Field if you’d like to offset your season ticket expenses. Don’t feel bad, Stubhub is the official ticket scalping partner of Major League Baseball, you can even scalp directly from your Mets.com account.
Remember back before A-Rod and Torre that the big story this winter was the dopey patch? Weeks later this post is still getting traffic! https://metspolice.com/2009/01/making-fun-of-mets-patch-is-2-webpage.html
Fellow Mets Policeman Cyclones Fan hit two homers with MLB Censoring Jerseys and a prescient Selig Knew Bonds Was On Steroids written before the A-Rod stuff came out.
Then there’s A-Rod. He denied taking steroids (video). I think Selig should look to Lincoln and give everyone amnesty and I’m glad that at least Buck Showalter hints that maybe everyone knew.
Been a crazy weekend, with both sports talk stations going 24/7 single topic, and that’s before Boomer & Carton, Michael Kay, the guy that used to host with Mad Dog and even Mad Dog himself get to weigh in tomorrow. I wonder what the story will be on the back page all week?
