My friends the Mets aim to distract you from the pitching problems to come to tell you about the below.

Hi.  I thought I’d check in.

The Mets are off to a good start, that’s nice, I hope you are enjoying it.

I’ve reached the Apathy phase with the product.

I mean, it’s just the black uniforms, no big deal.

It’s just the black uniforms, and jacking the prices in 2016, no big deal.

It’s just the black uniforms, jacking the prices in 2016, and Gary being a boring PBP guy, no big deal.

Death by 1000 cuts.

If I cared, I could probably iterate 20 more variants of the above, but that’s the thing.  I just don’t care about the Mets Product right now, and right now more than ever it just feels like Product.  Come watch the podcast on Youtube, come to our store and buy the fashion merch, check out our latest collab!

No rant.  Not telling you not to enjoy the season.  In response, I’ll ask that you spare me the “shut down your blog” scream backs.

I will continue to post when I’m in the mood or I have something to say…..but I really don’t.  I watched the opener and game 2….and found baseball not worth the time (there are a lot of other things to do out there, especially when the weather is nice.)….and haven’t watched since.

So that’s it.  I appreciate you.  No big stance here.  I just hadn’t written in a few days and thought I’d check in.

I have a few posts I need to work on…so this is by no means some sort of goodbye post.  Just checking in.  The Mets are in first.  Enjoy.

Wow how nice, to build a walkway so people can lose money more easily at the casino!

Senator John Liu… introduced the legislation after the local senator, Jessica Ramos, declined to do so after finding that a majority of her constituents were “opposed to the construction of a casino in [their] backyard.”

The Flushing Senator announced he’d introduce the bill at the end of March, and did so

in exchange for Cohen’s commitment to building a Highline-like bridge linking Downtown Flushing to Willets Point, which Liu called “Flushing Skypark.”

Neither Cohen nor Liu have provided many details about the proposal. The Mets owner does not own the land either end of the bridge would sit on and neither Liu nor Cohen provided an estimate as to how much the project would cost.  (via Queens Eagle)

Why can’t the cool billionaire just make the area nicer and build the cool Flushing Highbridge anyway?  Why does a casino need to be involved?  This is all just to make the neighborhood nicer, right?  Well, except for those pesky soccer fans moving in who aren’t going to have anywhere to park….

This is clearly an annual money grab so I won’t wig too much that the NY should be orange or blue or camo or something.  And of course $48 is insane.

 

I actually liked the old Camo Uniforms, and that they had a plan with them (Camo Monday I think it was…..yes, yes it was.)   The blue popped nicely on these.   Maybe we can convince Alex to bring them back.
