I took Mets Police Mom out to the game last night.
Like any Irish lady in her later years she can be stubborn.
She was very impressed by the ballpark. Â I forget her exact quote (I tweeted it last night @metspolice) but it was something like “it’s the nicest thing they’ve built in Queens in 50 years” and “it doesn’t feel like New York.” Â That latter part was in a good way, New York often feels like a sweaty ratty alley. Â Oh, she also thinks the ladies room was well done.
She even got herself a Mets jersey at the store!
David Wright “seems like a decent person” and she cheered for him. Â I also saw her caught up in some Reyes excitement.
NEW TIP: the right side elevator lets you out through the Hodges gate…so you can see some of the cool photos in that area which you might not normally walk through. Â I assume the same is true of the Seaver gate/elevator scenario.
As for me – Dickey impresses (especially when he chooses a blue color scheme). Â He seems confident and makes me feel confident. Â I don’t know how the heck I’m confident in a knuckler but if you told me that the shuffle resulted in him starting Game 1 of the NLCS I would feel fine. Â Strange.
The Noise Pollution Patrol was trying really hard to get an R-A R-A R-A chant going but there was silence.
35,045 last night. Â Looked pretty full. Â Time to show up folks, our young home-grown team is winning.
Mets Police Mom is going back tonight (Mrs. Mets Police kidnapped Junior to another event) and she’ll be rocking her jersey. Â I’ll be the fat guy in the burnt orange David Wright jersey which I got to annoy Osh41.
