Report: Mets Owners Are Already Drilling at Citi Field — Without NYC Casino Bid Settled

Whoa WHAT???

The City has a VERY interesting piece under the headline: Mets Owners Are Already Drilling at Citi Field — Without NYC Casino Bid Settled

Hopefully this is just to distract us from the lousy baseball product.  The third place Mets are a game and a half out.  There shall be no excuses in Year 5 of the 5 Year Promise.

Completely unrelated, I find myself interested in campaign donations.  Hopefully one of the Queens newspapers will look into such things as I’d like to read about it.

Anyway sing it with me..

 Who turns unis into black?

Sees a park and thinks blackjack?

We do….we do!!

Last month, the owners of the Mets, who want to put an entertainment complex anchored by a casino next to Citi Field, began “exploratory boring” in at least two places to prepare for construction.

THE CITY spotted the heavy drilling in at least two places in the parking lot, which is legally park land that only the state can authorize for development — currently barring it from being used for the casino plan team owner Steve Cohen has pitched as a major economic boost for Queens.  (per The City)

 

Slackish Reaction Game 4: Mets win and No Lindor? My kinda game

I didn’t see any of the game but I see the Mets won and Lindor wasn’t playing.  That’s as good as it gets!

I encourage Mr. Lindor to take some time here.  Be with your family.     Take six, seven months of paternity leave. You can boo the fans when you get back.  The Mets apparently will be fine without you hitting .000

Congrats to Mrs. Lindor and Baby Lindor’s siblings!

 

Slackish Reaction: Game 2 – Mets win, Lindor goes 0 for? Sounds perfect!

I’m already bored with baseball again.  I was enjoying “TV” and couldn’t be bothered to stop to watch the Mets, especially if social media is just going to tweet the entire game anyway.

I put it on a few times, but baseball is boring.

Mets win, Soto Homers, and Lindor takes another O-for…..sounds perfect!

The Mets are in second place here in Year 5 of Uncle Steve’s 5 Year Promise.  No excuses!

 

Slackish Recap Mets Game 1: – bad uniforms and shaky pitching

The new road uniforms (the ones below)  are clearly a step backward.  I had seen something from someone named Howie who said they were better than what came before, and that is just absolutely insane.

This image from the Mets twitter account proves it.

Look at Pete in the middle.  Howie can’t possibly think that’s a good looking uniform.

As for the baseball part?  I had the game on while I did work “here in Houston” so I enjoyed not having to listen to the most overrated broadcaster of this generation work along side Keith and Ron.

I think you Clay Homes psychos saw what I was saying all spring – its one thing to face the Spring Training Travel Squad and another to face actual major leaguers.

The good news is Lindor went 0 for 4! His currently holds a WAR of  -0.1

I have now watched as many regular season games as I did all last season!

The last place Mets are 0-1 in Year 5 of Uncle Steve’s 5 Year Promise.  No Excuses.
