Welcome to the new design

(New content below this article) Â Â We’ve made it to the new location.

Think back to when you first moved in to your current house or apartment. You know those first few days where you can’t find your stuff, and you have to wait for the cable guy to hook you up, and you just feel out of sorts but excited?

That’s where I am with the site. Â Stuff is still in boxes, some older posts might be ugly, some from this week might be missing, the header image up top could be much better, I chopped off the top of Gooden’s head and some links might not be working.

Ironically, the site needs more blue and some more pictures of Mets. Â Somewhere David Howard is laughing. Â We’ll get there.

Thanks for your patience, especially if you’ve sent me something to post. Â As a reader the new site should work much better, and hopefully you just enjoy the content no matter how it looks. Â If you find a bug, or think something could be better, please drop me a note at shannon@metspolice.com

Pictures: Inside the Mets fan event (part 2)

Peter hooked me up with some photos of last week’s fan gathering at Citi (jeez I almost typed Shea for like the millionth time).

That’s a nice looking room.

Oh yeah, Peter said to thank Johnql of baseball-fever.com, much thanks John!

I thought that actually was Ebbett’s Field when I first looked at it!

There’s the retro again.

There’s more to come…tomorrow. Thanks again Peter.

Blue Cap Army Update

To catch everyone up, I have this idea of a Blue Cap Army. In a nutshell, I think we should encourage a sea of blue at Citi Field…read the original post to learn more.

I floated the idea that the first meeting of the Army should be at Opening Day, and that we should meet in front (we can pretend there’s a Seaver statue) and then all visit the new museum together.

I got good traction on it, so I think I’m going to go ahead and organize something. I’ll wait until the site migrates to the new hosting because that will make it easier for me to start a sign-up list…so this is the announcement that I’m going to announce something. I’m ego-less so if it’s me and two guys, that’s cool. If it’s 45,000 that would be awesome but I’m not delusional.

Speaking of Blue Caps, I don’t know how much this means in the scheme of things, but Corey shared with me that the top selling Mets cap (non-discounted) on Lids is…..the traditional blue cap!

If you don’t already own a blue Mets cap please buy one and plan to join us for opening day. More to come. 10 bucks cash if someone can get Lee Mazzilli to meet us. Lee, if you’re reading this…ten bucks if you show!

Photos: Mets Museum construction and orange stairs

Nothing revolutionary here, but I figured I should start sharing some of the photos I’ve been sitting on pending the new site-host; this batch courtesy of Osh41 and they are from last week’s ticket holder gathering the Mets held.

Here’s a shot from the outside.

I will miss the giant store. I guess someday all those pics I posted over the summer will make for a “remember when there was a store in the rotunda?” post.

Don’t get me wrong though, I will take a museum over a store any day. One thing Citi does not lack is stores. Here’s another view of the orange paint job.

That’s all for tonight. Tomorrow morning an update on the Blue Cap Army and pictures from the actual event.

Great pic of Doc and Darryl (link)

Big League Stew has an awesome photo of Doc and Darryl, check out their cool jackets! Blue and orange! I’d post the pic but that’s thievery (Honor among bloggers) and BLS has been cool about sending traffic over here….so away you go to the link.

Gooden looks like he’d be the second best starter on the Mets. He’s 45, do you think they could squeeze 6 wins out of him to get hom to .500?

It sure would sell tickets!
