Steven Matz, who could have been my favorite 2022 Mets player since he wasn’t part of the unforgivable sin of booing the fans, has signed with the Cardinals for 4 years/$44 which is “Matt Harvey on the Angels money” – which makes me wonder what Matt Harvey is going to get!
Anyway, the Stupid Cheap Mets continue to miss out on players. I imagine this is somehow the Wilpons fault that nobody wants to be part of this organization. As soon as the Wilpons are gone and we get a cool billionaire owner who cracks jokes on twitter THEN everything will be better in Queens.
The bad news is the Mets will wear black at home on Friday in 2022.
The good news is this forces your favorite blogger to continue Mets Police until at least October 2023! The stated mission of this website is to see things through until the Mets win a World Series while nicely dressed. I was hoping to be done in 2015, but Uncle Steve has only made things worse so far on the attire side. The Mets dress worse now and they have a losing loser record during Steve’s tenure. No excuses Steve.
Hopefully our pinstripe wearing blue Mets win the 2023 World Series and I can go save Star Trek. Until then, I will be here….watching you…..
An annual tradition here at Mets Police, a look at the Mets Turkeys. Let’s start with the biggest Mets Turkey of All Time, a record never to be broken, never to be forgiven.
Javy Baez came to town and got off to a slow start and then booed the fans. Unforgivable. Be gone. Also guilty in their silence are ALL THE 2021 METS. Not one of them said that this was wrong. Guys like Noah Syndergaard who has time to poke Mike Francesa said nothing. Vulgar Pete who loves the media and they love him. Nothing. JDG? Nothing.
JDG and The Mets Front Office. Together they thought it was a good idea to throw 100 in March and again against 19 year olds in a rehab start. The media fawned, and Jake lost his season. It was all very predictable.
Luis Rojas. Somehow was allowed to return after missing an 8 team playoff, and the Mets once again finished under .500
Uncle Steve. When the Wilpons are gone the circus will stop. That was the plan. Three general managers later the players are booing the fans and the team is under .500 during your time. Stockholders don’t like negative results Steve. And Friday’s excuse making about first year learning? No.
Acting Regional General Manager Z. Michael Scott
Jared Porter and Zack Scott. Porter came and went so fast that I don’t even have a picture of him saved. Scott also didn’t work out so well. And Steve hired these guys, so see above.
Mickey Callaway was back in the news. Seems like a while ago but that was 2021. This forces a Turkey Award on…
Howie Rose. He was the one that called benching Dom Smith a “Hodges Moment” and if ANYONE should know not to invoke the name of Gil it is Howie. Mickey Hodges did not quite live up to the standard.
Keith Hernandez for his twitter based book release information.
Pete Alonso for the Donnie Stevenson nonsense. What? Chili Davis got fired? How could they ever have happened? Pete was so shocked and cried at his locker? How did the Mets ever get the idea the Mets should have a hitting coach other than Chili Davis?
On the way out the door Scott Boras called Michael Conforto The King of Queens. Scott, your client had an awful season and was like the 10th most popular on the club. Let’s relax a bit with the King nonsense.
And that’s enough turkeys for one season. I’m sure there were more but Let’s Go Mets and hope for a better future.
