A quick note to ask for folks to sign up to get Mets Police via a free daily email.

Why?  So you never miss an article.

Why?  I spend a lot of time on this and I like to have as many readers as possible.  It makes it seem less crazy to spend two hours doing this every night when I see the readership growing.  A “bottom line” of subscribers helps me have a guaranteed readership.

I do not spam you.  The only communication you’ll get is the daily email with the articles, around lunchtime.

We now resume making fun of bad Mets caps and jerseys.  Look at the nice man behind the vendor…a Swoosh Jersey!

While I’m begging – why not tell some friends about the site.  Maybe email them a post.  I don’t know if this is the post to choose, but something must be entertaining on here this week.

Self-plugging over.  I appreciate everyone who reads, comments, sends something in, or silently lurks.  If I met you on Opening Day I really enjoyed it.

FormerDirtDart sent this over and his comment says it all, “It may be BLUE, but it is just WRONG.”

What is this you are looking at?   This is a cap for the moron friend in your life who wears his cap backward.  This one has the MLB logo in the FRONT and the NY in the back.  Of course if you’re a backward cap wearing clown, the NY would be facing the side your nose is on.

Then again as Osh41 says, “At least it’s not black.”

I’m actually writing this Monday night because I assume Boss Man will want me to do Real Job today.

I have been posting pictures for three hours, loving every second of it, but my brain is turning to mush.   Here are some more pictures from Opening Day.

I have so many I haven’t gotten to so we’ll be doing this all week.

Click on any of the photos to make them larger, including the one on the left…

…those are the jets flying over after the lip-synced national anthem.

Eagle eye Dan looked up and noticed this phrase up on the museum ceiling.  It’s one of my favorites.

Last year at the 1969 ceremony Tom Seaver gave a great speech.  Here is my post from August 24th, 2009 – and man when I got to the end and saw my own words I got really happy.  Tom’s words in bold and what I wrote in italics…then some more thoughts from today.

Howie thank you very much, and all you fans of course another well deserved thank you to all of you.

People call us the Miracle Mets but nothing was impossible when you played for Gil Hodges.

Improbable maybe, but impossible never.

With the first championship we gave validity to a franchise. It’s a thread that joins us as teammates to our children and our grandchildren, everybody on this ballclub and the fans, forever.

That perfect improbable glorious season when the 1969 Mets became World Champions.

You believed in us, we believed that we could make it happen and the trophy and the memories are ours forever, and the trophy serves as a memento that we were both correct.

We all cherish these memories, each and every day, each and every one of us, forever.

And on behalf of all of us standing out here in these white glorious Met home uniforms thank you all New York.

…

I think these are some of the best words said about the franchise and I would like to see the following words posted somewhere at Citi Field….just like Yankee Stadium has DiMaggio’s quote, I’d like to see this, which I think is quite fitting.

Well, I got what I wanted.  There they are, phrased differently but it makes me wonder if the Seaver of 2009 was paraphrasing his own quote, or perhaps those are someone else’s words.

Regardless, the sentiment is correct and for our undefeated 2010 warriors, maybe this can be a rally call better than believing in comebacks.
