Well friends, here we are again with another off-season killed off. This marks the 16th season of Mets Police where the goal remains to encourage the Mets to win the World Series while nicely dressed (meaning no stupid uniforms, including black uniforms). Unfortunately because this owner brought the black back it seems like I will be forced to continue for a 17th season and beyond..but one thing at a time.
I stopped watching baseball last season, after all, baseball is boring. But I am hopeful because baseball was so broken that even baseball realized it was broken! That’s how broken it was! I am hopeful these new pace of game changes, combined with an increase in stolen bases (my guess is someone will figure out how to abuse the two-pickoff-throws rule) and maybe we can have some fun Old Timey Baseball when the sport was watchable.
I hope most of the Mets have a good season except this guy, who can’t fail enough. I hope he bats .075 and the fans turn on him.
Baseball is as interesting as the starting pitcher – and the Mets should be pretty watchable on the days Scherzer, Verlander and Senga pitch – so I shall give the season a chance. My guess is I will be bored by Saturday (the Marlins are always hard games to watch).
I have no plans to attend any games. It is not worth the 7 hours it becomes (including the trip) or the tolls or the parking or the food cost, and I haven’t even mentioned tickets yet.
Late last season I bought a new 70 inch TV, for like $700, and I would encourage you to do the same. Stay home, save some money, and enjoy the game until it becomes boring.
I am making the unpopular prediction that Gary Cohen will be exposed this season. With the quicker pacing, Keith Hernandez will have less time to tell stories and carry the booth.
I also like that the schedule doesn’t have the annoying Day Off after game 1, and the Marlins understand the wisdom of the 6:40 start (Friday)
Anyway, let’s keep the black uniforms locked away, vote No on giving parklands to one of the richest men on the planet so he can get even richer off the backs off poor people, and let’s hope the Mets win it all. There is no F in LGM Pete, thats why you don’t have Coca-Cola deal. Let’s Go Mets!
