Brooklyn Cyclones “Jersey Sure” night

I may have to start the Cyclones Police.  I really might have to.

The image is cutting off but here’s all you need to see and know.

On Wednesday, July 21, the Brooklyn Cyclones will be hosting “Jersey? Sure!” Night – paying homage to a pop-culture phenomenon and giving away limited-edition collectible jerseys. The high-quality mesh jersey will feature the Cyclones logo on the front and a picture of the team’s mascot, Sandy the Seagull, in a fist-pumping pose on the back, with the words “Jersey? Sure!” at the top. The first 2,500 fans in attendance on July 21st will receive a jersey.

In addition to the jersey giveaway and The Situation’s try-out, the Cyclones’ “Jersey? Sure!” Night will feature:

  • Dugout Dance Battles – Contestants will “battle” to techno beats on top of the dugouts between innings for a chance to win prizes (and fame).
  • GTL Giveaways – In honor of the GTL lifestyle (“gym, tan, laundry”) the Cyclones have partnered with a local gym, tanning salon, and laundromat and will be giving away GTL gift certificates throughout the night
  • Baseball Blowouts – A special station on the ballpark’s concourse level will allow fans to have their hair styled like a good fastball – high and hard. Stylists from a local salon will be on hand to give the hair-raising transformations a professional touch.

More here. They couldn’t just have “free hot dog night” and sell out the place?

Omar and Mets yearbook ’76 on SNY tonight

Set the DVRs:  Omar Minaya is on whatever the 7pm show on SNY is called (Hot Stove?) and then at 7:30 it’s Mets Yearbook 1976!

The ’76 mets won 86 games!  Young lefty Jon Matlack won 17 games, and Jerry Koosman won 21!

Dave Kingman hit 37 home runs back when 37 was a lot (it once was kids), and these youngsters Stearns and Mazzilli look very promising!

If Seaver can rebound from 14 wins, I bet 1977 will be one of the best years in Mets history!

Looking for a feel good Mets story and can’t find one

I was so down in the dumps yesterday about this franchise that I wanted to write about something positive.  I couldn’t think of anything, other than trotting out the old yesteryear story, so I appealed to my friends on twitter (@metspolice).

Sadly, nobody had anything.  Sure I got some good laughs: the best suggestion was “Aaron Heilmann isn’t a Met” which was right up there with “Angel Berroa turned 30.”   On facebook, I heard there was a good turnout at the blood drive.

Personally, I’m excited about the McFadden’s bar coming to left field and perhaps some plans for the Blue Cap Army for Opening Day.

You may notice I have gone three paragraphs without mentioning anything positive about the actual team.  Yeah, that’s the problem.  I’m not feeling it this week.

However, over at Big League Stew on Yahoo today is the day where ‘Duk is going to link to Mets blogs, and I want to make a nice impression for the newbies.   Can anyone think of anything happy in Flushing?

If you are a newbie, here’s some links from past articles to help you get the vibe of Mets Police:

Blue Cap Army Update: Opening Day

Quick note..

I’m going to go ahead with the plan for Mets fans to gather on the morning of Opening Day.  The idea is for us to just meet up, hit the new Hall of Fame together, and then hey why not let’s go check out the bar.

Once I get the hang of this new site design I’m going to add an rsvp form because I want to see if we can amass a significant number of people to get free pretzels at the bar or something.  I’m going to reach out to some folks, (if you’re reading this and you think I mean you – yes, I mean you.)

In the meantime, if interested hit comments.
