This week I have been posting “make fun of myself” posts generated by the AI.  Well, it looks like the AI has a problem with Media Goon!  LOL…

If you’re a regular reader of MetsPolice.com, you’ve no doubt heard of Media Goon. He’s the guy who seems to own every single Mets jersey ever made, and he’s always posting pictures of himself wearing them on social media. But here’s the thing: Media Goon isn’t a true Mets fan. He’s a glory-seeking, bandwagon-jumping phony who will jump on the bandwagon of any team that’s winning.

Case in point: Media Goon is probably at Modell’s right now, buying yet another jersey with a player’s name on the back. And I bet it’s not a Mets player. No, I bet it’s some guy from a team that’s currently in the playoffs, like Justin Verlander or something. Media Goon is just looking for a way to get attention and pretend like he’s a big fan of that team.

But here’s the thing: true Mets fans stick with their team through thick and thin. They don’t jump on the bandwagon of some other team just because they’re having a good season. They wear their Mets jerseys with pride, even when the team is struggling. But not Media Goon. No, he’ll happily ditch his Mets gear and start wearing some other team’s colors just to fit in and look cool.

In short, Media Goon is a fraud and a phony. He’s not a true Mets fan, and he’s not to be trusted. So the next time you see him posting pictures of himself wearing a Verlander jersey, just remember: he’s not a real fan, he’s just trying to look cool. And that’s not something any true Mets fan would do.

….

Man. that was pretty harsh Mister AI.  We should give AI Media Goon a chance to respond…

 

Hello everyone!

As a lifelong New York Mets fan, I am proud to say that I have a collection of Mets jerseys that would make any fan envious. But my collection is not complete without a jersey of the team’s newest star, Justin Verlander.

I have been following Verlander’s career since he was a rookie with the Detroit Tigers, and I am thrilled that he has joined the Mets. His talent and leadership on the mound make him a valuable addition to the team, and I can’t wait to see what he will bring to the table this season.

So, it’s a no-brainer that I need to add a Verlander jersey to my collection. And where better to buy it than at Modell’s, the official retailer of MLB merchandise? I’m sure they have a great selection of Verlander jerseys in all sizes and styles.

I can’t wait to show off my new jersey at the next game and cheer on Verlander and the rest of the team. Go Mets!

Man, if Matt Harvey started making holiday cookies instead of working out and watching game films, you guys would be mad at him.  You think Jacob deGrom, committed to winning, is out baking cookies today?

*The Mets press release is glossing over the 2021 part.  He was a 2021 All Star. I mean they could sign “MVP Willie Mays” if we’re just going to ignore the year part.  The Mets did not share any assets like a PHOTO with their press release.

 

METS SIGN (2021) ALL-STAR CATCHER OMAR NARVÁEZ

 

FLUSHING, N.Y., December 22, 2022 – The New York Mets announced today that the club has signed catcher Omar Narváez to a one-year contract with a player option for 2024.

Narváez, 30, spent the last three seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. The left-handed hitter owns a career mark .268/.345/.406 hitter against right-handers. Narváez hit a career-high 22 homers and had a career-high .813 OPS for the Mariners in 2019.

“We are excited to bring Omar to New York,” said Mets General Manager Billy Eppler. “Omar has contact ability and solid approach at the plate, and his left-handed bat fits our roster well. Additionally, the defensive skill and experience he brings behind the plate will be great additions for the Mets and our pitching staff.”

The 5-11, 240-pounder was an All-Star in 2021, finishing the year with a .266/.342/.402 slashline with 11 home runs and 49 RBI in 123 games. Narváez batted .206/.292/.305 in 84 games last season, compiling 21 runs, 12 doubles, one triple, four home runs, 23 RBI and 29 walks. According to Baseball Savant he ranked seventh in the majors last year in framing pitches.

Over his seven-year major league career, he has hit .258/.343/.386 with 212 runs, 76 doubles, two triples, 51 home runs, 191 RBI, 223 walks and a .728 OPS in 600 career games with the White Sox, Mariners and Brewers.

The Venezuelan native was originally signed as a non-drafted free agent by the White Sox.

Well, congrats to Jacob deGrom’s spin team.  Mets Police Mom just said to me “He’s a class act” to which I said, “Yeah, he’s a class act three weeks later and after Michael Kay called him out on it.”   Well, better late than never, which seemed to be deGrom’s motto the last few seasons anyway.    By the way, which one of you idiots let him throw 100mph in the Spring?

Jason deGrom IS committed to winning.  That’s why he’s in Texas.

Here’s the ad.

 

Which still isn’t as much fun as the Apology Letter which I have framed in my office (really).

This is a real thing!

I am hoping we can trade Lindor (you know , the guy that thumbs downed Mets fans but you like him now because he had a good season even though he clearly doesn’t like YOU) – trade Lindor for nobody, or maybe include him in the Ohtani deal.  Correa can play SS.  When Steve delivers you Ohtani you won’t miss Lindor, believe me.

Anyway, McCann for “I dunno, give us someone this summer when the intern finds the paperwork and asks if we need to do anything about it” is a fascinating deal.

McCann will hit 25 HRs in Baltimore.

UPDATE: I am told that through the magic of accounting and tax stuff, this somehow saves the Mets $8,000,000.   So I guess everyone wins here?  Except whatever needed that tax money.  There goes the federal funding to fix the interstates.  Oh well.

METS TRADE CATCHER JAMES McCANN

 

FLUSHING, N.Y., December 21, 2022 – The New York Mets announced today that the club has traded catcher James McCann and cash considerations to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for a player to be named later.

McCann was signed to a four-year contract prior to the 2021 season. In his two-year stint with the Mets, he hit .220/.282/.328 with 13 home runs and 64 RBI in 182 games with the club.
