I’m hearing 15 game weekend Mets plans are 10 and 5

As always I remind you that Mets Police is not news and I leave it to you to decide if you find the site to be accurate.

I’m hearing that ticket reps are calling fans for renewals and the language is along the lines of  “… our Saturday plus plan, which would include 10 Saturdays and 5 other games.”

I’ll let you know as I hear more.  Thanks for the tip folks!

I’m not surprised at all.

The site seems to be glitching.  If you are seeing 0, 1, 2 or 3 Tom Seaver posts right now I apologize.

Mets manager update from Sandy

Dear Mets Fan:

As you might have heard last night or this morning, we have completed the first round of interviews in the search for our new Manager.

We’ve invited Bob Melvin, Wally Backman, Terry Collins, and Chip Hale back for a second round of interviews while we are at the MLB meetings in Orlando. We are meeting with Bob and Chip today; and with Wally and Terry tomorrow.

We thank the four finalists and the other six candidates – Dave Jauss, DeMarlo Hale, Clint Hurdle, Don Wakamatsu, Ken Oberkfell, and Jose Oquendo — for their interest in the position and their time to interview. We will continue discussions with Dave and Ken about their roles in the organization and wish all the others the best of success.

Throughout the search, we’ve had productive and candid dialogue with every candidate, all of whom had good ideas toward how again we become a winning club. We expect to have a decision before Thanksgiving and look forward to sharing that news soon.

Thank you for your ongoing interest and support.

Sincerely,

Sandy Alderson

General Manager

Alternate New York Mets caps: Holiday edition #6

Psyche…it’s a different holiday.   Mets.com had an ad for a sale on Stars & Stripes stuff….and this cap popped up.  I don’t recall seeing this before, but as Media Goon has pointed out I’m starting to forget what I’ve posted or not.  We are 6,000+ posts in after all.

This one is called the Freedom Franchise Fitted Cap and remember, if you don’t buy one you don’t love freedom.

Willets Point redevelopment

This video tells us about some business being relocated out of Willets Point.  i would embed the video but the cable network in question hasn’t joined the 21st century.

Media Goon had some ideas:  dave and busters? new mall? some hotels? new arena for the islanders? convention center?

Well Goon, I think the world has enough malls.  I think hotels might do well (nearby airport, subway line).  Islanders, I dunno…what about Suffolk fans?  Convention Center to compete against Javits?  Dunno either.

A Dave & Busters, some hotels, some mixed use residential (build an actual neighborhood) and some food/drink places could be nice.
