More from feisty Philly

OK dude…you make all of us look bad.

You’re wearing a cheap Newsday giveaway Santana jersey with bad lettering on the back.

At least it’s a blue hat.

And the Philly guys are feisty…this courtesy of Delaware Online.

All you had to do was visit Citizens Bank Park last weekend, when the Mets rode into town for a three-game series against the Phillies and won two of them before fired-up, standing-room-only crowds.

“I can’t stand the Cowboys, and that will never change. But, to me, the Mets are the biggest enemy now,” said Phil Markston, 34, of Wilmington, who had tickets for two of the three games.

“I’ve never liked the Mets, just because they’re from New York and I don’t like any of the New York teams,” he said. “But now, after what happened last year, the Mets are the team I want to beat the most.”

Calm The Eff Down

As you get to know The Mets Police you’ll find that nobody likes giving them a hard time more than we do.

That being said: CALM DOWN

On Sunday morning there was going to be a tickertape parade.

They ran into two good pitchers and the bats cooled.

The NY Sun is writing this:

What Does $135 Million Purchase for the Mets?


As the
Mets were playing the Chicago Cubs yesterday afternoon, several Flushing partisans sent me e-mails asking, basically, the same question: This is what $135 million buys? One regular correspondent, notable for his generally even keel, simply slugged his subject line “Minaya” and pasted the starting lineup into the body of his e-mail. At times, simple observation counts as an expression of disbelief.

Relax! Santana tonight against the Nats. The Mets are 1.5 games behind the Marlins. Although Willie might want to have infield practice this afternoon.

Looks like they are getting fesity down in Philly. I guess when you’re team actually shows up for “meaningful games” in September you get confident. Which reminds me, why did Free Pass Willie get to return?

>Dr. K Strikes Out Too Many People

Thinking back to 1984 reminded me of one of the all-time stupid things the Mets did.
I can’t quite remember the year and I’ll take some help – but at one point the Mets decided to discourage Gooden from striking out so many people.

The idea was that there was something wrong with having won 60 games by 21 year old, and that he could elongate his career by putting the ball in play more.
Why keep on winning Cy Young Awards when we can worry about 44 year old Dwight Gooden in the 21st Century? Stupid.
