Another quiet day in Flushing, I suppose we’re going to have lots of them. I don’t know about you but between it being 75+ and sunny, and the NFL starting, I can’t really get too excited about a day/night doubleheader. I don’t think I watched an inning all week.
Here’s the weekly round-up of the most popular articles on Mets Police, and a few that deserved more love but you guys were celebrating Jeter or something.
Am I a bad person if I don’t enjoy Cow Bell Man’s work?
Why is Keith Hernandez allowed to drive 80mph?
The Mets will pay the price for scheduling Saturday plans on weeknights…here’s what the crowd looked like Thursday night.
You guys are getting soft, or were busy or something, nobody is outraged at Mets auctions this week?
You saw that the Post said Citi Field had construction problems (mold, water damage), right?
Want to be an intern for the Mets? Kiddies, ask your parents. (Something the Mets forget to remind the high school students to do before forking over their cellphone #)
The Mets did something nice!
The Peter Gammons article about the Mets struck a chord, which was a response to Jayson Stark’s dire assessment of the state of the franchise (small f, Seaver is fine and would probably be the #2 starter when Santana returns). Actually Seaver giving some Jedi mind-tricks to Parnell and Pelfrey wouldn’t be a bad idea next spring.
Yankee Stadium Demolition Pictures are always popular. Try here too for a great collection.
Speaking of Yankee Stadium – do you Yankees fans like this new fake version? The Yankee fan I know (Mr. Sunshine) is all infected with Jeter Disease (you Yankee fans have enough to celebrate without making up milestones) and is telling me the new park feels like home now. Really? That fast?
Well, Yankee fans will be busy in October so they may wat to read the Yankee Stadium parking tips.…or this collection of Yankee Stadium information and reviews. I don’t think John Sterling is actually at the game anyway.
While we’re out of town here is the Phillies fan Survey. A few people finally came forward and told me they got a Mets survey which was along the same lines.
Sorry for all the Yankees stuff but I’m not the one who built a team that’s 19 out with 20 to play. We did do an Uncensored Unofficial Guide To Citi Field too ya know.
I spent most of the week playing Beatles Rock Band (very cool) – here’s a video of the Beatles at shea Stadium (video game style).
Fun game if you are bored: How many things are wrong with this Tom Seaver jersey?
These 1969 jerseys are technically incorrect (shouldn’t have names) but I still think you’d look cool with a Kranepool.
