Mets Police Morning Laziness: is the Mets Police blog negative, and what is Hot Dog School?

Yesterday I wrote about how I am NOT excited for Opening Day (road version)  and found more people agreed with me than not (Facebook discussion).  One commenter asked why my posts have been so negative recently.

This is a normal reaction to the site (established 2008).  When things are going well I come across as negative.  I get it.  Most of my posts are about how things could be better.  Totally fair.

Then what happens is the Mets find themselves in 4th place and the fanbase starts talking about boycotts.  I then hand in the same kind of comment and get told I am a shill/sellout etc.  (Did you know that one time I got half a steak sandwich and a bottle of water FREE at a VIP Mets event!).   That always amuses me.

Anyway, do I do “negative” posts.  Sure.   Win a World Series and maybe I will write something nice.

I can’t take this seriously (via Newsday):

“We send our people to Nathan’s hot dog school,” he said. “As crazy as it sounds, Nathan’s has a school for how you cook their hot dogs . . . There’s actually a science to it.”

Wayne rebounded nicely.

The Mets are gonna pop-culture it up which is cool.

Was nice to sleep in this morning.  This post is extra lazy.

Meanwhile we can get all dramatic about this:
