No call from the Mets ticket office?

Remember last week Mets Police had a few stories of folks who want to give the Mets money?!

These people not only want to renew their seats they asked to upgrade their plans aka give the Mets MORE money.

The word was that the Mets were going to start working on upgrades on Wednesday. That's today! It's 7pm and Media Goon hasn't gotten his call yet. This is after he has called them several times over the past few weeks and been told to wait til today for a call.

Are there really that many upgrades that they didn't get to him today? Did Seaver unretire and turn 30? What are we as fans missing here?

New topic: if you find yourself out at Citi this week at one of these fan things they have been having, bring a camera. We welcome all pictures at [email protected]

I'm interested in this Citi Field Kids thing they did today. What was it? Was it a secret? Maybe I stink at what I do but Mets Blog and google don't. They usually catch stuff like this.

If I own a team and I'm doing something nice with kids I would publicize it – even to annoying thorn in my side bloggers. Mets, and by Mets I mean suits, I'd like to be your friend and write about the good things too, but I can't do it if you don't tell me about them.

Another new topic: now that Francesca is safe haven for the Mets, I wonder if the Yankees care that they don't get to have theirbown turn at fluff interview of the week. Especially if you think about the TV version of the show and where it airs.

Mets PR department I'm here if you need me. Just add [email protected] to the distribution list. Oh, and tell someone in tickets to call Media Goon. He'd like to move down.

Just read that the Japanese JJ Putz (I should learn his name, the new
guy) will be wearing number 18.

Kinda surprised they didn't offer 17 or heck why not 41?

Bitter Bill’s list of Mets you love to hate

I’m feeling positive and happy today so I am going to just share Bitter Bill’s list of Mets you love to hate along without comment.

I will say he’s right about Sisk.

I want to go to a Mets game with David Howard

I want to go to a Mets game with EVP Dave Howard.

Stay with me: this isn’t a sandbag.

I’m all about honor.  This isn’t me throwing out an invitation so I can diss the man when it isn’t accepted.   There’s no reason whatsoever that Dave would attend a game with me.  There’s no reason whatsoever he should even know that I want to go to a game with him, although plenty of folks in Flushing read the Mets Police.

So, Dave, if this makes it to your attention somehow I’d like to catch a game.

Here’s the scenario:  a Saturday afternoon.  You, me, Mets Police Junior and whoever you want to bring (do you have kids?)

I’m not looking for a freebie.  I’ll buy the tickets.

Let’s sit up in the Promenade, not because I want to make you spend three hours listening to me talk about plexiglass but because that’s where I normally sit.   In real life I’m much less annoying than I am on this site.  I believe in civilized behavior, so if you expect I’m just going to complain about the plexiglass or the uniforms, I’m not.  That’s chop-busting on the website, not that I don’t believe what I say but I probably don’t need to whip out your quote three times a week.  This will be about two Mets fans watching a game.

We’ll talk about the stuff guys talk about:  the Mets, our jobs, our families.  We’ll have a beer, maybe two.  When Junior gets restless in the third inning we can take a walk – hit some shops, maybe grab a taco.  I can’t wait on that Shake Shack line but I’m not going to condemn you for having a successful concession.

Maybe we should meet early and check out the new museum?  It seems like checking old Mets stuff would be a great icebreaker.

I’m sincere.  This isn’t about talking your ear off.  This is about two Mets fans getting to know each other better.  That should be good for all.  Craig Marino knows how to reach Mets Police HQ, I hope to hear from you.  How does April 10th vs. Washington sound?

Most Popular Articles On Mets Police (January 3)

Man it’s cold out there this morning.  Good luck if you’re heading off to see the Jets lose tonight.  Stay warm.

For the newer readers, every Sunday I post a recap of what was popular over the last week, and sprinkle in a few that I think deserved more readers.  

First some other stuff:

Wow, there’s so much content waiting to be published.   You’ve been great about sending things in.  Between those submissions, Osh41 actually opening his uniform closet, Dan scanning his scorecards, Frank investigatig the Tug McGraw mystery (check the comments here) and in theory the Mets will announce Jason Bay this week – I already have like 7 articles a day ready to fire, which is actually too many.  Imagine if the Mets actually played a game.  Thanks to everyone for the support, it has been Amazin’

Since y’all have Google and I like to be honest, you may accidentally discover Shannon’s Other Blog.   Here’s the deal – I’m trying to familiarize myself with different software.  Mets Police works off the Blogger system, and everyone says WordPress is better for blogs.   So before I go all-in and move Mets Police over to WP, possibly destroying everything, I want to mess around with WP a little.  No need for the WP fans to tell me the difference between .com and .org, got it, I’m just messing around.   I’m not pushing the other site, but there may be a few odds and ends over there (some Jets thoughts today) some days but not all and not like over here.  We’ll see where life takes it.  I’m also increasingly aware I start too many sentences with “so” and need to break that habit.

Coming up this week:

  • I ask David Howard out on a man-date.
  • A suggestion the Mets offer 7-packs that incorporates the Blue Cap Army (join now, it’s silly and free).
  • A ton of Mets pennants
  • The 1978 Yearbook
  • and whatever else happens in Flushing.

On to the links…

This Tug McGraw jersey that Mitchell & Ness is selling has us all bothered.   Why are the numbers so big?  Why is a #56 jersey?  I’m going to reach out to UniWatch to see what they know.

Here’s my 1986 Pennants

Dan’s pictures of the 1986 Tickertape Parade

The 1982 Yearbook (Part 1) and (Part 2)

In 1962 Casey Stengel displayed Mets uniforms that would have had Mets underlined.

362 days until the Mets start paying Bonilla $1m a year.  Really.

Check out Wrigley Field with the upper deck closed.  Remind anyone of Shea around 1979?

A look back at Mets Police articles from the two years (aka holiday filler):
