Good morning Mets fans,

A lazy Sunday mid-holiday weekend so I will take it easy on the blog again today (traffic was off by half yesterday!).  I have some articles from across the intertubes to share and we are still doing the podcast at 6:30.   I think we’ll lead off with “Who should manage the Mets next year?” and see where else life takes us.  Call in at (917) 889-2723

I still haven’t broke in the new computer – I need to install picture resizers and zip utilities and such….and the keyboard is bigger so believe it or not it makes it harder to type!   Maybe today some progress will happen but Mrs. MP is working and I have these kids screaming at me.

When I do catch-up I am sitting on a bunch of emails, I never did get back to Angel’s yearbook collection (plus he sent me another collection that I haven’t even touched yet), Walt sent over an uni…

…wow even mid-sentence the new computer reset to do one of those handy Windows Updates.  That’s how the blogging week has gone.   Now Media Goon is probably wondering why I didn’t buy a MacBook.  I spent enough money this week to type about Mets uniforms…it’s crazy enough as it is….

…as I was saying Walt sent over the unistandings, will get those up as well.

I didn’t see a single inning all week.  Caught a little Howie but not much.   Is is March yet?

Good morning Mets fans,

Not much happening – especially after a day game.

Ed Hearn will be honored at Citi Field on the 10th which is cool.

The Mets and MLB have created a (fake) Best Around the Ballpark page – which coincidentally includes places like Uncle Jack’s Steakhouse who not only sponsors the Mets but is located right near Citi Field on Bell Blvd.  You guys wanna walk over or take the LIRR to Jamiaca and then back to Bell?   “Around” seems to have a liberal definition.

I’m still on the shakedown cruise with my new laptop.  It has been an expensive week for blogging hobbies!   Howevver I may finally get to do the “catching up” I have been talking about for weeks.

No Unnamed Donuts Chain today.  Been there a lot this week to the point where I’m sick of it.

A person close to Santana confirmed Friday that the ace initially complained about his shoulder before leaving the game. Following that exit, the Mets announced the injury as a pectoral strain. Further clouding the issue, Jerry Manuel pointed to his upper arm while describing the problem, and pitching coach Dan Warthen labeled it a “shoulder” issue.

While there are several good candidates for flop of the year – the Angels, Red Sox [team stats], Mariners, Cubs, Dodgers – our vote as the hands-down winner would be the Cardinals, even before their last-gasp weekend series against the Reds.

Hello – welcome to the first post from my brand new computer.  Yep, it’s been an expensive week here at Mets Police HQ.  First some service fees to the nice GoDaddy people, and now a brand new laptop to replace the one that spit the bit today.   I sure hope somebody clicks on some ads.

Here’s some sadness via Aisle 424..even the Cubs fans don’t hate the Mets now.

I don’t like them.  I actually could really care less about them anymore.

When I was growing up, I hated the Mets.  I HATED the Mets.  I hated Keith Hernandez because he was a former Cardinal.  I hated Gary Carter because he was Gary Carter.  I hated Darryl Strawberry. I hated Lenny Dykstra. I hated Howard Johnson. I hated Jesse Orosco. I hated Wally Backman. I hated Ron Darling. I hated Davey Johnson. I really fucking hated Dwight Gooden because no matter how many homeruns Tuffy Rhodes hit off him, he still always ***ing won.

Hopefully he can hate Wally again in 2011.
