NY Jets Draft Preview (off topic)

(For those of you who weren't around Mets Police off-season, I hate the Jets.)

Somewhere in america a young college student is excited about the biggest day of his life.

Little does he know that later today he will be holding up a green #1 jersey.

What will follow are two 4 and 12 seasons around a year two 9 and 7 playoff appearance and loss in the first round.

He will eventually be traded to Washington where he'll play one season before his career ends.

As this young man holds up his green #1, a future hall of fame quarterback will look on, wondering why he hasn't been drafted yet.

7700 Pictures Of Random Stadiums

On Saturday morning I like sharing stadium pics. Here’s a group on Flickr. The first one annoyingly is a football stadium, but then it’s all baseball. I’m heading out to Citi, camera in hand. See ya there? Tweet me @metspolice if you’re in the stands and want to comapre obstructed views.www.metspolice.com

View From Citi Field Section 431 – Mets Ticket Office Helping Fans Change Seats

Good news.   One Mets fan who sent me these pictures of Section 431, writes the following:

I called the ticket office ENDLESSLY for three days and finally got through to the head of sales. I have switched these seats to a pair in the left field landing.







I hope the new seats are good….”left field landing” might not be great.  However, I’m glad to hear the Mets are receptive to requests for seat changes.

As for these views from 431….I guess the issue is not being able to see the left field corner.   As far as the upper level of Citi Field goes, this might be one of the better views.

Thanks for sending.   Got pics?  Send them to [email protected]

Gary Cohen: "The Blue Looks Great"

Hmmm….Gary Cohen just mentioned the uniforms and said the white were “almost pinstripes.   the blue looks great!”

Keith Hernandez slyly added “my favorite color” before the inning ended quickly.

I love you guys…and Howie.

Charlie Samuels, are you listening?

Howie Rose Rips Black Mets Uniforms Again

Howie Rose had the following to say tonight about the Mets uniforms.  (I may have one word wrong but this is really close.)

“The Mets are wearing their snow whites tonight, with blue, hey how about that!  That after they lost three in a row in those black jerseys.”   He said black the way a three year old says yuck when you make him eat spinach.

Keep it coming Howie.  If anyone else hears Howie rip the black please let us know.
(UPDATE – in the 6th, Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez made some sly comments about the absence of pinstripes. )

For previous Howie comments click here.

From today’s mailbag: “Mailbag: Black Mets Uniforms“: 

I couldn’t agree more–I HATE the black uniforms.
I’m also not too crazy about the 
snow whites either. And it’s not that I’m one of those jerks who doesn’t think anything new can be good, but the pinstripes are the Mets best uniform, no question. They also need to lose the black socks/sleeves and the 2-color batting helmet. Your team colors are blue and orange–wear them.
