I was so down in the dumps yesterday about this franchise that I wanted to write about something positive. Â I couldn’t think of anything, other than trotting out the old yesteryear story, so I appealed to my friends on twitter (@metspolice).
Sadly, nobody had anything. Â Sure I got some good laughs: the best suggestion was “Aaron Heilmann isn’t a Met” which was right up there with “Angel Berroa turned 30.” Â On facebook, I heard there was a good turnout at the blood drive.
Personally, I’m excited about the McFadden’s bar coming to left field and perhaps some plans for the Blue Cap Army for Opening Day.
You may notice I have gone three paragraphs without mentioning anything positive about the actual team. Â Yeah, that’s the problem. Â I’m not feeling it this week.
However, over at Big League Stew on Yahoo today is the day where ‘Duk is going to link to Mets blogs, and I want to make a nice impression for the newbies. Â Can anyone think of anything happy in Flushing?
If you are a newbie, here’s some links from past articles to help you get the vibe of Mets Police:
- Pictures from the 1986 Tickertape Parade
- The Mets respond to a letter from The Mets Police
- It might make financial sense, but it sure is annoying to think Bobby Bonilla will get $1 million a year from the Mets from 2011-2035.
- The “about” page that explains what this is about.
