Wow my head is spinning….

Cliff Lee is heading to Texas.  Jump on twitter, things are moving fast.  I’m @metspolice

Buster Olney tweeted this – not sure what it means but seems scary:

Heard this: The perception within the Mets’ front office today is that that team won’t be able to take on dollars before the deadline.

Here’s the lineup.  Take a look at the #2 hitter.

This is a very Matt Cerrone-ish informational post.  I’m going back to Banner Days and weird caps and leaving this to the pros.

It’s cooler on my deck than inside, might make it a Howie night.  Talk to ya around 7 on twitter @metspolice

Omar, start dialing.

I’m waking up hearing that Cliff Lee is heading to New York. For a catching prospect.

The Yankees don’t even need Cliff Lee. They will make the playoffs anyway. Cashman is worried about three starts in October. That’s that “win the World Series” mentality I talk about sometimes.

The Mets could use him. You’re a Mets fan, I wont bore you with why.

The championship is there for the taking. I think Lee gets the Mets to the end. I like this team, more than I have liked any Mets team since they traded for Juan Samuel.

Lee brings excitement. Sells tickets. Winning sells tickets. 30,000 the other night. In year 2 of a new stadium with a home grown team.

If Lee comes to Yankees Town – wow.

….

In other thoughts, this is a good weekend to Show Up At Shea’s Successor.

The fun pitchers are going, there are giveaways, and it’s a battle for first place. The weather wont be beach weather so why not join me out in Flushing. I will be out there on Saturday. I haven’t decided which jersey yet.

Don’t forget the Mets Police Giveaways Tip: unless you are early enter through the RF gate or the Bullpen Gate. Everyone heads to LF or the Rotunda. The giveaway stuff seems to last a little longer at the other gates.
