When I jumped in last night’s game late (I’m no longer revolving my evening around 7:10 starts) and saw the score, all I could think of was this sentence I wrote on Friday when I declared myself team captain:
This team needs more guys like Santana – who basically says “OK you #%^%#s I will go out and throw 130 pitches today because the rest of you suck.â€
I can’t believe he only has 9 wins. Â It was nice to see Jerry use K-Rod with a game on the line rather than save him for a 1-2-3 save in the 23rd inning.
Join us on the Mets Police Podcast tonight at 6:30. Listen live, lurk, or call in at 917-889-2723. So far the topics are Meaningless Games in August, yesterday’s roster moves – has the front office given up, and black uniforms 6 days in a row. Â If you think you might join us drop me a note at shannon@metspolice.com so I can associate your name with the phone # you’ll call in on (I only see phone numbers) – although you’re welcome to just call in and I will name you “caller.”
The podcast audio lives in the orange section of the main page, of if you punch “Mets Police” into iTunes you can subscribe. Â We do it live at Sunday at 6:30pm although next week I’m going to need a substitute host (Dan and Media Goon, start warming up in the bullpen.)
Looking ahead – I’m on the road for much of this week so I will be spending my Sunday writing ahead.  From your end the blog should function as always (Media Goon will handle the “breaking news” stuff) but I may be slower than usual to reply to email submissions – however keep them coming to shannon@metspolice.com  Last trip it worked out well with me sending things to the Goon to post.
