The Mets Police Twitter ’62 for 2013

Last year Sports Illustrated made a list of the “Twitter 100” you should follow, so I thought I would rip off the idea and make a list of my own in not much of a particular order.

People dug the list and talked about it so I thought I would do it again.

However, this year I struggled to get to 86.  I have taken several stabs at this list and keep getting nowhere close to 86.  Part of that is that some folks just don’t tweet as much as they did.

So, no 86 but I did get to 62 which is a Metsy kind of number.  Hopefully there are no doubles because my kids won’t stop talking to me (“Daddy, the hot designs commercial is on!) as I try to finish this off – and I probably miscounted.  Daddy Blogging is hard.

Some folks who were on last year’s list didn’t make it this year for a variety of reasons but most often that they aren’t on twitter as much.   In their place, some new faces.  And I bet I accidentally left someone off – but I did cook 6 waffles while doing this post.

In no particular order…

@mediagoon the second in command at Mets Police. If I don’t list him first he won’t cover me when I travel. Also likes wrestling.

@matthewcerrone influential founder of Mets Blog who we need to link to this post so it goes viral. There is also the @metsblog feed but I prefer Matt’s personal feed.

@adamrubinespn the dude is on it. Every day. Can’t ignore and must respect.

@uniwatch doesn’t tweet much but it’s the feed of Supreme Commander Lukas so if you hate black uniforms follow the general.  And his #2 @philhecken does tweet back but not as much as I’d like.

@greg_prince the best of the Mets bloggers

@jasoncfry the writing partner of Greg but more of a street-fighter type.  Plus he tweets about Star Wars.

@howardmegdal I absolutely love Howard and am fascinated by Howard. Pretty much the only one who follows the money while everyone else daydreams about free agents that ain’t gonna happen.
