Good morning Mets fans,
Not much to say on the baseball front. I am sad they lost but I love that Santana just pitches games by himself now. Screw everybody Johan. This guy has my respect, on the Top 5 Mets I respect list that I just made up. (Seaver, Keith and I will get back to you with two more.)
This Mets vs. the union soap opera should be fun, especially if you have a blog and realize April is a long long way away.
I have gotten a few emails this week about the “ice cream caps” – something is the air about that. I need a good weekend of blog catch-up…fell asleep the chair last night at 9:15. It’s halfway OK to type text on the bus but to start manipulating photos is harder.
Some links of interest:
Jerry Izenberg wrote a nice piece about what it was like to be a Giants fan.
The SF Giants have yet to win, makes me continue to wonder if I will see another championship in Queens before I die.
Carton was saying something about individual non-PSL football Giants tickets going on sale at 10am via Ticketmaster. I cant find any details but you may want to check that out.
Why relocating a team isn’t as easy as just picking a city.
Metsphotos shows us how they make the Mets logo stencil on the mound.
Remember one day I mused about my personal rankings of the Akers announcers over the years?….
….ok see where it says “Akers” – I typed Mets and the iPad spell “corrected” it to Akers. Hilarious. Injoy the floating feeling.
…where was I, oh yeah the Mets announcers? A year ago AmazinAvenue did a cool Tournament of Announcers. Who do you suppose won?
Seems Howie is off. Lukas should work hard on his Fire Wayne Hagin site this week.
There was a closet-quake in my house and the rod fell out of the wall. Mrs. Mets Police is gonna clean up that mess today, and she’s likely to notice that I have bought quite a few jerseys this summer. Heh heh.
A few of you actually seemed to miss the podcast (I couldn’t do one this week) – we’ll be back in the normal Sunday 6:30pm slot this week. You can always punch “Mets Police” into the iTunes store podcast section to subscribe. We’re not that good at radio but getting better – and I’d rather hear from you guys anyway than have me blather away. More on that as the week moves forward.
My email contact is Shannon@metspolice.com
Media Goon can be reached at mediagoon@gmail.com – he had the good suggestion that I share his address since (a) he stays up later than I do and (b) has more of a slacker job than I do – so if you see news break it may make sense to copy him on things.
Thanks for all the stuff y’all send in. I’m trying to keep up, which is a great problem to have. Those of you who get annoyed when Cerrone is slow to reply at Metsblog, I can only imagine what his inbox looks like. Matt’s a good dude.
It’s very hard to blog on a moving bus.
