Apathy comes to Flushing

Good morning Mets fans,

Usually on Saturday I will work ahead on the site, tweak a few design things and check my statistics.  This week the stats were eye-opening.

My traffic was down by half.

I know my blog didn’t get any less lame or boring than it usually is…and I know it wasn’t that I fubar’d the design…..nope, people just stopped reading.

Traffic was pretty good during Walter-Reed-gate and The Adventures of K-Rod which both gave this team attention….but now there’s been two weeks of nothing and it is showing.

I’m looking over the last 7 days,  and it’s a typical week – yearbook covers, oddball jersey sightings, news and notes.

Sure Mets Police works best when we’re policing things or noticing misstatements on fanbricks or chopbusting on obstructed views…but I don’t force stories when they aren’t there.   There’s just nothing happening.

I’d be curious if any other bloggers are noticing this.

As for the fat blogger – I do this regardless of who reads it.   As for the Mets, if people are starting to just not care, that’s far worse than the anger y’all have experienced since 2007.   Ask the Nets and Islanders what happens when everyone gets on with their lives.

With that being said, no podcast tonight because I too am not interested in talking about the Mets.

….
