Year: 2013

I’m carefully picking out my attire for tonight…hopefully the FedEx man delivers my blue 13 on time otherwise the Mets Police 12 pinstripes will get one last outig as the formal wear and imagine Media Goon will wear a jersey that says Media Goon.  We’re encouraging everyone to wear “Mets stuff” so we know who is with the group and can say hi.

We’ll be at Donovan’s at 5.  Folks are asking how long this will take.  Well, we’ve never done this before.  What if we give Greg Prince an award and he rolls off a 10,000 word masterfully crafted acceptance speech?  WIth like 10 categories and some fun I can’t imagine the ceremony part going longer than an hour and probably shorter.

However, it’s a cool Irish pub with great food and there will be tons of Mets fans and mingling, so you’re coming for a hang and not just some Dundees.

The spirit of the night is fun and a celebration.  We’re not there to make fun of anyone or to be negative.  Come have a good time, and the Mets Police remind you to never drink and drive and to always drink responsibly if you do choose to partake.

Details and map here but in a nutshell it’s 5pm at Donovan’s 58th street and Roosevelt.  If you haven’t heard of Roosevelt Avenue then this isn’t the right event for you.

I can’t believe we’re doing this…

Big thanks to @majesticonfield who surprised me with this tweet:

We know you need to look good for your event tomorrow @metspolice . Let us help you dress in style; http://t.co/3s3DbspG

This beauty is on its way for Saturday Delivery.

Thanks to Majestic for following up today. Sorry I had to throw a tantrum but its really hard to argue fonts with folks on the phone. As @mediagoon knows I have been dealing with this as a quiet civilian for about a month and had shipped the other one back twice.

Well it looks like both @mediagoon and Shannon are finally tapped out, so I’ll take the ball and run with it for a while.

First up, one of my first jerseys, the Mitchell & Ness 1969 home Seaver.

A reminder to join us tomorrow (Saturday) at 5pm at Donovan’s in Woodside for the live in person 2012 Mets Police Awards Ceremony (aka “The Mazzys”). Below is a promotional video you should watch, then many of the categories with nominees, then at the bottom some directions to Donovan’s. The pictures in the post do not necessarily telegraph the winners.

in what world is Mike Piazza not a Hall of Famer?

What’s with writers leaving Mike off the ballot? I saw the guy’s career, it’s an absolute no-brainer.

If Mike is being punished for something the writers may think was cheating then they should say so. At least Murray Chass has the courage of his convictions.

Other people who should be HOFers are hit kings, home run kings, anyone with 350 wins, anyone that Fox, Joe Buck, Mike Lupica and ESPN creamed over in 1998, anyone with 3000/500, anyone who was discussed as the best pitcher of the decade while they were playing, and anyone who won back to back MVPs.

No more outfielders?

Adam Rubin suspects the Mets won’t add any outfielders and that the starting trio are Duda, Nieuwenhuis and Baxter. That’s a joke.

The Mets have not punted.

Opening Day tickets start at $63
