What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
The Mets have been really cool with bloggers this year. Will sent over this survey from the Flushing Flash e-mail that he go this morning.
One of the questions was if you read blogs. The question right after it was which blogs do you read.
More from the hookup from Chris: Â Photos from the Baltimore Trip.
I was unaware of this Takahasi Craze. Â Is this catching on? Â Can anyone of Japanese ancestry tell me if this is cool or not? Â I mean no offense..
What’s everyone looking at? Â Is there a V mothership over the warehouse?
Thanks Chris – everyone else keep this stuff coming. Â Right now I am on an airplane not blogging and not checking twitter. Â I’m counting on you. Â Send stuff in shannon@metspolice.com
Hey gang. Media Goon here filling in for Shannon while he is wearing his road grays this week.
Here is something from Mark Simon of Mets Blog on ESPN NY.
In looking back on Jonathon Niese’s one-baserunner shutout last Thursday night, we thought it would be appropriate to survey those who follow the Mets most, and ask them “What is your all-time favorite Mets pitching performance?”

Oh yeah, Shannon has a favorite NON SEAVER (Can you believe it?) pitching performance that he mentions in the article.
@davidgolden sent this to me over Memorial Day weekend…did I mention I am on a plane this morning? Â Discuss among yourselves while Media Goon minds the store in case Lee Mazzilli is named manager.
I hate Greg Prince from Faith and Fear. Â He is a jerkyface.
Why do I hate this man?
I went the whole day yesterday shaking fists of rage “HOW COULD YOU TRADE TOM SEAVER?”
I have been mentioning the Seaver Trade a lot lately. Â It’s not like I didn’t know the Mets traded Seaver it’s just that over Memorial Day weekend I read Greg’s rotten lousy Faith & Fear in Flushing book which is so well written it brought back all the darn emotions.
Tom Seaver?!!! You fools!
Anyway I woke up today only to see this in my inbox.  In torturous fashion Greg walks us through HOW THE METS LET SEAVER GO AGAIN AFTER 1983.
Just to explain it to you kids…slowly….
Tom Seaver is born.
Tom Seaver leads the stupid 120 loss Mets to a World Series in their 7th season.
Tom Seaver gets traded.
The Mets suck for years.
Tom Seaver somehow comes back and I sit there Opening Day 1983 ready to cry. Â Tom Seaver. Â Back.
And then they make a dumb roster move and the White Sox steal Tom away.
Who did they protect to keep Seaver? Â Oh, I’m not giving the ending away…go read this…I’m gonna go punch a Twins poster.
If I don’t kill someone make sure you come back on Sunday and I’ll tell you about the time Tom Seaver struck me out. Â True story.
