Good morning Mets fans. It’s Saturday, Mrs. Mets Police is working, I need donuts and coffee and I have lots of Daddy Daycare Items today so let’s start with my favorite article of the week which I deliberately saved for the Donuts Run.
From Faith & Fear here is just a small taste of a fantastic article and I implore you to stop reading nonsense about uniforms and Christmas Mets stuff ang go read the entire thing: Can The Manager Sell Tickets?
At the next window I approached, the guy behind the glass was barking at me.
“You! Over there! Come here!”
“What?” I asked as I approached gingerly. “What do you want?”
“I want you! I’m Terry Collins! I’m no nonsense! Don’t let the stories of how the Angels players petitioned to get me thrown out of Anaheim scare you off! Don’t get worked up over how I never won anything there or in Houston! I worked for the Mets and I’m reportedly reportedly popular with ownership! Sandy Koufax reportedly thinks highly of me!”
I turned away as fast as I could. That guy wasn’t going to sell me a single ticket. Hell, I’d be returning my rainchecks last year if it were left to him to sell me on the Mets.
Lest someone get mad at me expecting a post about Mets Donuts, I don’t have that for you but I can offer some Mrs. Fields Mets cookies. Only $35.99 for 12. No typo. At least the cookies aren’t black.
